Before our annual analysis of the strategy of a tech giant, we wanted to share with you the reason why we're so enthusiastic about the Russian technology market.

Looking at the main sources of global news, you won't find many positive article on Russia: just check out Wall Street Journal or New York Times and you will get an idea.

But that didn't prevent us from looking behind the curtain... and what we found was surprising. Not only surprising in a positive manner, but also in a very promising way: there is a very fast expanding digital market in Russia, that not only is catching up on western level, but is also extremely innovative.

When we found out, we decided that we had to be part of it and we opened an office in Moscow. Our Russian office is now helping companies bridge the gap between them and the Russian market.

Today, we are releasing an extensive market study that will show why we are committed to Russia, and why you should have a different look on the Russian market.
