The Summit expressed concern at the slow rate of growth of innovation and technology in Islamic countries. In light of this, the guests stressed the importance of the project Salamworld for the Muslim world community. In turn, representatives of Salamworld noted that the development of the new platform was due to a greater extent of the need to create an alternative online space, comfort for the Muslims, rather than a desire to compete with popular existing social networks.
