How to create an IT business in the region without programmers?

Question

Startups

There is such a crude idea of ​​attracting some IT company to a region where this area is not developed, but there is a high unemployment rate and low wages.
The advantage is that such a company would have lower development costs, low labor competition (since this industry is absent in the region).
But the problem is that there are no programmers in the region, education and training are required.
I wonder if it is possible to attract some company so that it is interested in opening personnel training in the region, and then using this personnel for its own development?
Are there any similar successful examples? Somewhere I read that one programmer was able to organize commercial development even in the zone (in prison).
Maybe there are other solutions in this direction?

Answer 1

low wages.

A good claim for success among web programmers.
Companies that lure sweet tales about 100 tyr / month for JS + CSS, I personally can name a dozen. And they are successful, yes.
And what will happen to the shovelers who fell for it, no one cares. By the way, you can make a set among them, I'm serious.
Somewhere I heard that the Earth is flat, and all balloons are idiots.
The advantage of the regions is only in the price of the labor force, but those who more or less know something have long been earning money on freelance or have left for the metropolis for a normal job.
It's just an opinion, by the way.

Answer 2

The low level of salaries in the region is definitely not an advantage in the IT field, specialists will constantly grow to a certain level and migrate to other regions with higher salaries.
There are two options:
The first one is to grow an IT company within yourself, for example, to engage in passive financing. But here, too, the same thing can happen as with salaries, the organization will grow to a certain scale and possibly migrate to another region due to a shortage of specialists, etc.
The second one is to give significant benefits in the region for IT companies, cheap electricity, cheap cost of renting space and, of course, tax incentives.
The income of the region in this case will be from the personal income tax of employed specialists, but since the salaries of IT specialists are not small, they will slightly boost the economy of the region due to them ...
And so, in principle, there are programmers who like to work remotely from which thread of small settlements, where it is relatively calm atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of the city. Here for such it is necessary to create conditions: good coverage of high-speed Internet and, of course, a good plus will be if staying in the region is much cheaper than in other regions. Sometimes I myself have a desire to move to some thread of a village and work remotely from there :)
