By Sadraddin Aghjayev - Trend:
Azerbaijani regions have made breakthroughs in the development
of entrepreneurship digitalization, an analyst at the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Patrik Pruzinsky
said, Trend reports.
Pruzinsky made the remark at a conference on the topic of
“Support to Azerbaijani government in creating a more favorable
environment for small and medium-sized enterprises and increasing
their competitiveness”.
According to him, the OECD, in cooperation with Azerbaijan in
the field of small and medium business development, has supported
the country in strengthening digitalization.
'Earlier, digitalization in Azerbaijan developed slowly. To
date, business entities of Azerbaijan have expanded their presence
in the online environment,' the analyst noted.
He also noted that OECD experts record an increase in the use of
online services by businesses.
'The main obstacle to the development of digitalization of
entrepreneurship in Azerbaijan is the small practice of applying
digital services,” Pruzinsky said.“In this area, we see how the
Azerbaijan Agency for the Development of Small and Medium
Businesses creates specialized centers in the regions that
contribute to the development of entrepreneurship.”
The OECD analyst also said that it's planned to further develop
the digitalization of Azerbaijan's entrepreneurship in accordance
with the country's development strategy until 2030.
'In this regard, we see the need to create a specialized
document (plan) for the development of entrepreneurship in
accordance with the new realities,” Pruzinsky pointed out.“It's
necessary to create a new infrastructure, expand the transition to
modern technologies. These works must be carried out not only in
large cities, but also in villages, and remote areas of
Azerbaijan.”
It's also necessary to support the creation and development of
the business ecosystem as a whole, he added.
