The digital economy is not the future, it is the present
Practical courses by digital economist Ravil Akhtyamov. Profound knowledge, applicable solutions, the language of business and technology.
We are translating the complexity of the digital economy into your profit and efficiency.
You lose opportunities if:
  • The chaos of trends.
    Digital trends seem to be chaos rather than an opportunity.
  • Misunderstanding of influence
    Don't understand how tokens, blockchain, or big data specifically affect your business?
  • Intuitive solutions
    Are decisions on digitalisation made intuitively, without economic justification?
  • Delay
    Are you falling behind competitors using new business models?
Digital Economy Lab is your tool for making informed decisions and creating value.
Our courses provide a systematic understanding of the digital economy through the lens of economic science and practice. Create value based on data, not intuition.

Cases
Educational programmes
Practical training for the professionals of the future.

Case: 'Implementation of Project Management Culture in the Regional Government'

Objective: Overcome fragmentation in the implementation of state initiatives, introduce systematisation, transparency and enhance accountability.

Solution: Under the guidance of Ravil Akhtyamov, a Project Management Office (PMO) system was created and implemented in the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan. This was not a theoretical model, but a practical management system governing over 50 state projects.

Result: The implemented system was recognised at the federal level and received the national award "Project Olympics - 2017" as the best practice. This case serves as a ready foundation for corporate training and workshops on management transformation, where theory is supported by real, award-winning experience.

Why is this a strong case for education? This is not an abstract course in project management, but training based on a real, successful case recognised at the state level.
Data analytics
Deep analysis of the digital environment

Case: "Pioneering initiatives in big data for data-driven governance"

Objective: To modernise the regional public administration system, making it more efficient and based on data rather than intuition.

Solution: Under the leadership of Ravil Akhtyamov as the CEO of the Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation "Digital Economy of the Udmurt Republic", pioneering big data projects were launched in the region's Multifunctional Centre.

Result: The projects received top marks and were awarded the national award "Project Olymp - 2021 – Best Project of the Year". This experience allows for the provision of analytics based not on hypothetical models, but on proven approaches that have already delivered results on a national scale.

Why is this a strong case for analytics? It demonstrates the ability not just to collect data, but to implement solutions based on it, which receive widespread recognition and change the approach to governance across an entire region.
Development of digital architecture
Digital transformation of the company in the case of funds

Case: "Architecture and launch of the first investment funds in the region"

Objective: To create from scratch the infrastructure for attracting and managing capital in a new asset class for the region — real estate.

Solution: As the General Director of the Management Company of the Closed-End Investment Fund, Ravil Akhtyamov not only launched 2 closed-end real estate funds with assets under management of $23.8 million, but also developed the management architecture and operational processes that ensured stable operation even in unstable market conditions.

Result: Successful creation and management of a complex financial-technical structure, which is direct proof of competence in building a reliable and effective architecture for the business.

Designing market infrastructure
System Analysis and Architecture

Case: "Creating Market Infrastructure from Scratch"

Objective: Increase transparency, attract investors, and ensure the growth of the region's securities market.

Solution: As the head of the research and corporate finance department at the Securities Commission (Ufa), the first disclosure system in the region was developed and launched. This is a fundamental component of any data architecture, ensuring the reliability, accessibility, and standardisation of data.

Result: A foundation has been established for the development of the entire financial market of the Republic of Bashkortostan. This experience demonstrates a profound understanding of how not just IT systems, but entire ecosystems based on data are designed.
