“It is a great honor for us to gather you at our site,” Sergei Novikov addressed the students. - For the second year I have been watching with great interest how much you are doing, getting ready, working. For me, sports programming is like playing chess - it is an intellectual battle of young talents. I want you to feel comfortable and pleasant visiting us, and may the strongest win!”
“Traditionally, I try not to miss your competitions, I am pleased to see young people who are active and charged to win. If the previous generation of IT people were looking for a job, then you can already afford to choose where and what is more interesting and attractive to you in the IT field. Today, all eyes are on you, the governments of the country and the republic are taking unprecedented support measures for your formation, development and activities as specialists. I will not hide that sometimes even to the envy of other ministries. Good luck today, tomorrow and always, in life and competition! - Denis Slepov admonished the participants.
