BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 28. Azerbaijan can become a digital hub of the region, Deputy Minister of Digital Development and Transport Samir Mammadov said during the 5th conference on electronic infrastructures of the Eastern Partnership, Trend reports.

According to Mammadov, large-scale work is underway in the country to develop information technologies, ‘green’ technologies and economy.
