Russia wants to create a platform with population data for business

The prerequisite for the creation of the platform was the numerous requests that authorities receive from

companies: businesses request data from Rosstat, which takes a lot of time to process and issue.

New Central Analytics Platform (CAP)“Population” will be quickly uploaded in the form of graphs, pictures, diagrams and maps with geolocation. Businesses will have free access, for example, to data on fertility, mortality, marriages, divorces and others. It will also be possible to upload your own data to the platform. Rosstat plans to spend 719 million rubles on development. 

Enterprises will be able to access the system andmake unique requests. If you want, for example, to open a store in a certain place, you can see the characteristics of the population that lives there. 

Pavel Smelov, Deputy Head of Rosstat

It will also be possible to obtain characteristics of a particular city or district if a company, for example, wants to locate its store there. 

The project platform will be developed until 2023, the document says.
