Among them is conducting a comprehensive analysis of the additional vocational education system to assess its alignment with the tasks of ensuring Russia's technological leadership, shared Kaluga Region Governor and State Council Commission Chairman Vladislav Shapsha. The government has decided to scale up the experience of regions in implementing AI. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko: "The regions already have successful experience and results in deploying the technology: today AI helps manage traffic flows, monitor law and order, safety, and cleanliness in cities. Despite the specific differences among RF regions, some tasks in regional governance are typical. Therefore, it is important for regions to exchange experiences." The Russian Export Center presented the 2025 ranking of regional export support centers at the All-Russian conference "Made in Russia. Chosen Worldwide," held in Kazan. Among the leaders with the most effective export support systems for SMEs are regions of the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR) - Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, and Novosibirsk Region. Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Head of Yakutia Aisen Nikolaev met with Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government Alexander Novak on State Council Commission "Energy" issues, chaired by the governor. The key issue was increasing labor productivity in the energy sector. Tomsk Region Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov discussed creating advanced drugs for tumor therapy at a research center in Tomsk Region - the Oncology Research Institute of Tomsk National Medical Research Center. Key topics included providing the site with infrastructure to implement a project for developing and producing biotechnological drugs, including mRNA vaccines. Tomsk Region is creating a chemical cluster and developing competencies. Head of the Chemical Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Arthur Smirnov visited the Siberian Chemical Combine, Siberian Titan, Engineering Chemical-Technological Center, Ilmenit, National Gas Company, and Tomsk State University. With region head Vladimir Mazur, they discussed developing the Russian Chemical Industry Development Strategy until 2035 (led by the region). Physicists from Tomsk State University and the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have developed an innovative material for food packaging. The new polypropylene film effectively suppresses the growth of pathogenic bacteria and fungi on its surface, destroying nearly 100% of microorganisms. There are no domestic analogs on the market yet. Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov held a State Council Commission meeting on technological leadership. The key topic was assessing the effectiveness of tax support measures for R&D sector organizations. This instruction was previously given by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin following a strategic session on the science development model. Students at Reshetnev Siberian State University of Science and Technology in Krasnoyarsk have developed an innovative tool for automatic correction of space images. The development will improve the accuracy of satellite data in environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, and urban planning. Republic of Tatarstan Young scientists from KNRTU-KAI have invented an innovative method for producing penographite — a next-generation carbon material that significantly increases the electrical conductivity of supercapacitor electrodes. This will enable compact and lightweight power sources for future technologies. Nizhny Novgorod Region NSTU has patented a unique software suite for managing industrial robots. The program is aimed at production facilities requiring automation of gripping, moving, and positioning parts and products of various configurations. The development ensures independence from foreign software suppliers. Perm Krai A heavy-class Proton-M launch vehicle with the Elektro-L No. 5 spacecraft lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The first stage included six RD-276 engines manufactured in the PriKama region at Proton-PM JSC. It was these engines that lifted the 700-ton rocket off the ground and helped it overcome gravity, said Governor Dmitry Makhonin.

Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, and Tyumen Regions Heads of AIRR regions discussed the creation of world-class campuses and advanced schools at a Russian Government meeting chaired by Dmitry Chernyshenko. This year, facilities in Novosibirsk, Tyumen, and Nizhny Novgorod are planned to be fully completed. Governor Gleb Nikitin reported on the construction of the Neymark Campus in Nizhny Novgorod, while Governor Andrey Travnikov spoke about the Novosibirsk State University campus: a research center and educational-research center of the NSU Institute of Medicine and Psychology. "There are no doubts during the construction and installation works: everything will be completed on time." Tyumen Region At Tyumen State University, they hosted the heads of the Ministry of Economic Development, Maxim Reshetnikov, and the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov. Together with Governor Alexander Moor, they toured the university's multi-format classrooms, the unified dispatch center, and a model of the interuniversity campus. Arkhangelsk Region Governor Alexander Tsybulsky announced the opening of the region's first phygital center with support from the Russian Ministry of Sports. The Pomorye region is among 15 pilot regions. Modern sports facilities enable combined competitions blending esports and traditional sports—drone racing, sports programming, laser tag, and biathlons in basketball, soccer, and hockey. Supervising Vice-Premier Dmitry Chernyshenko reported that 38 more centers will open in 2026 (36 facilities were launched in 2025). The interuniversity Arctic Star Campus will become a multifunctional innovative educational environment. It will include laboratories, classrooms, a technopark, sports facilities, office and production spaces for the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov and the Northern State Medical University. Krasnoyarsk Krai Krasnoyarsk Krai and the UAV Consortium (VEB.RF Group) signed agreements on unmanned autonomous systems, envisioning the introduction of advanced technologies in forestry, subsoil use, environmental monitoring, and logistics. The UAV Consortium will also support the creation of educational programs. Partners include the regional Ministry of Digital Development and the tech company "AVAKS-GeoService," a Skolkovo Foundation participant. Tomsk Region State Duma representatives from Tomsk Oblast proposed reducing the minimum loan volume for the cluster investment platform from 2 billion to 500 million rubles. The initiative aims to enhance the efficiency of state support measures, drawing on Russia's cluster project experience and Tomsk companies' needs. Experts in the region note that this platform is currently the only mechanism for attracting preferential financing for constructing, reconstructing, and repairing production facilities, as well as acquiring and leasing land plots. Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, together with the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, developed biomedical scaffolds with shape-memory effect at temperatures close to physiological. The material enables minimally invasive implant insertion and potentially improves integration with bone tissue. Thanks to 3D printing technology, they can be used as "self-installing" implants for replacing extensive bone defects. KhMAO Preparations are underway for the IX International Youth Scientific-Practical Forum "Oil Capital," to be held in Khanty-Mansiysk on April 8-9, shared Governor Ruslan Kukharuk. The event, involving leading oil and gas companies, targets young specialists. Key topics include boosting oil extraction efficiency, introducing innovative technologies, Arctic zone development, and training qualified personnel. Republic of Mordovia In the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Ogarev Mordovia State University, researchers developed an AI consultant for working with regulations and normative documentation.

The venue was the Perm-based Morion Digital Technopark (Perm Kray is AIRR member). Over 300 representatives of Russian business, vendors, startups, and AI specialists gathered there. According to Anna Korotkina, Deputy Minister of Information Development and Communications of the region, organizing such a conference aligns with the modern vector of technological development, when AI becomes a practical tool—from 2020 to 2024, AI usage at industrial enterprises grew by 42%. "The region has numerous successful AI application cases in business and industry. Dozens of companies are creating unique products, such as defect detection systems from Synetra, robotics (Promobot and Robotech), and intelligent analytics systems," said the conference organizer and AI HUB leader at Morion Digital, Ilya Rastorguev. The business program was built around key themes—AI trends, hybrid automation, and implementation of intelligent solutions. Representatives from companies like Ozon, Selectel, AllSee, Первый Бит, Telegram, and others shared their experiences. The conference site also featured an exposition of domestic AI solutions, practical workshops, a job zone for specialists, and a separate exhibition area for startups where teams could discuss pilot implementation opportunities. "Today, artificial intelligence is turning into a universal tool for the economy, social sphere, and public administration. Perm Krai is already actively implementing AI in business processes, at industrial enterprises, and in the public administration system. The Government of Perm Krai has created and successfully operates a unified analytical infrastructure for working with big data and AI tools. It covers the entire cycle—from data collection and storage to processing and practical application for management decisions," emphasized Anna Korotkina. Director of Morion Digital technopark, Oscar Yagafarov, noted the importance of developing the professional community. "For Morion Digital, this event is particularly important as it demonstrates how communities gathering in the technopark evolve from small meetings and meetups to national-scale events. We've already seen similar growth in entrepreneurial and creative communities, and now AI Hub is following this path in search of new projects, ideas, and collaborations, accelerating AI innovations," stressed Oscar Yagafarov.

AI Pulse is an event where the heart of the AI industry beats, stated the organizers of the event, which aims to unite everyone setting the rhythm of artificial intelligence development—from visionary developers to top managers of large businesses and startups—where you can feel the current pulse of the market and see its future. The venue was the Perm-based Morion Digital Technopark (Perm Kray is AIRR member). Over 300 representatives of Russian business, vendors, startups, and AI specialists gathered there. According to Anna Korotkina, Deputy Minister of Information Development and Communications of the region, organizing such a conference aligns with the modern vector of technological development, when AI becomes a practical tool—from 2020 to 2024, AI usage at industrial enterprises grew by 42%. "The region has numerous successful AI application cases in business and industry. Dozens of companies are creating unique products, such as defect detection systems from Synetra, robotics (Promobot and Robotech), and intelligent analytics systems," said the conference organizer and AI HUB leader at Morion Digital, Ilya Rastorguev. The business program was built around key themes—AI trends, hybrid automation, and implementation of intelligent solutions. Representatives from companies like Ozon, Selectel, AllSee, Первый Бит, Telegram, and others shared their experiences. The conference site also featured an exposition of domestic AI solutions, practical workshops, a job zone for specialists, and a separate exhibition area for startups where teams could discuss pilot implementation opportunities. "Today, artificial intelligence is turning into a universal tool for the economy, social sphere, and public administration. Perm Krai is already actively implementing AI in business processes, at industrial enterprises, and in the public administration system. The Government of Perm Krai has created and successfully operates a unified analytical infrastructure for working with big data and AI tools. It covers the entire cycle—from data collection and storage to processing and practical application for management decisions," emphasized Anna Korotkina. Director of Morion Digital technopark, Oscar Yagafarov, noted the importance of developing the professional community. "For Morion Digital, this event is particularly important as it demonstrates how communities gathering in the technopark evolve from small meetings and meetups to national-scale events. We've already seen similar growth in entrepreneurial and creative communities, and now AI Hub is following this path in search of new projects, ideas, and collaborations, accelerating AI innovations," stressed Oscar Yagafarov.

According to Rustam Minnikhanov, Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan, thanks to the relevant national project, enterprises participating since 2019 have achieved an average economic effect of 20 million rubles, with the total effect exceeding 5 billion rubles. Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov presented proposals on technological leadership at a strategic session chaired by Chairman of the Russian Government Mikhail Mishustin. Nizhny Novgorod Region Deputy Minister of Enlightenment of the Russian Federation Vladimir Zhelonkin assessed the progress of work at the federal technopark for vocational education in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Governor Gleb Nikitin said that a powerful educational ecosystem is being created here to meet the needs of the country's economy. The technopark will become a driver for the entire vocational education system, enabling teachers to quickly master the most advanced technologies and pass this knowledge on to students. Republic of Tatarstan and Novosibirsk Region ANO "Digital Economy" presented the 2025 Digital Economy Universities Ranking, which evaluates the scale of IT specialist training and takes into account the opinions of digital economy companies about these universities. Among the leaders in the regional universities group are Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, A.N. Tupolev Kazan National Research Technical University , and Novosibirsk National Research State University. Nizhny Novgorod Region Scientists from Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering have created a digital complex for automating the design, analysis, and operation of modern telecommunications facilities. The development improves the accuracy and speed of calculations, reduces design time and the risk of human error. The system generates detailed reports with export options to common formats. Perm Krai At Perm National Research Polytechnic University in collaboration with Perm State Agrarian and Technological University , a new method has been developed for restoring historic wooden buildings using composite materials. The created engineering tool performs calculations and models specific elements of architectural monuments that need to be reinforced with carbon fiber. Restoring cultural heritage sites presents a particularly complex engineering challenge. Novgorod Region Scientists from Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University have developed Russia's first comprehensive model of a digital platform for the regional agro-industrial complex (AIC), which also allows assessing the real economic, technical, and social effects of digitalization in agriculture. Using the service, a farmer can monitor field conditions, use a digital exchange for sales, receive state support, and get agronomist consultations. Implementing such technologies can reduce product cost by up to 30%. Vladimir Region Governor Alexander Avdeev participated in developing the concept for the accelerated development of a new standalone territory in Vladimir Oblast—the town of Pokrov as an innovation center. According to him, the town has potential to follow the path of innopolises and science cities. Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev launched the first interregional "UAS on Baikal" competition. It will be one of the key events in implementing the concept for developing unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in education. This is an opportunity for talented schoolchildren to showcase themselves in sports-technical activities, exchange experiences, and develop drone operation skills. Tomsk Region The head of the region, Vladimir Mazur, spoke about the development of sublimation production at the Siberian Chemical Combine—this is an important foundation for fueling operating and under-construction nuclear power plants, the sustainable operation of the combine, the life of Seversk, and addressing the tasks of the "New Atomic and Energy Technologies" national project. Novosibirsk Region Scientists from Novosibirsk State Technical University have created a software-hardware complex that allows controlling a robotic arm using recognition of a specific user's brain reactions. The main advantage is that the system adapts to each user's individual neurophysiological characteristics. The innovation will find application in assisting people with health limitations.

Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev met with Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia, to discuss the creation of an interuniversity campus, expansion of the region’s participation in the federal program Priority 2030, and measures to ensure local enterprises are supplied with qualified specialists. According to the governor, Irkutsk Region will participate in the Ministry’s new selection of 30 advanced engineering schools. Kaluga Region Rospatent included a development by a Kaluga enterprise among the top 10 breakthrough innovations of 2025. Scientists from the A.G. Romashin Research and Production Center “Tekhnologiya” of Rostec State Corporation patented an innovative method for producing ultra-strong ceramic molds used in aluminum alloy metallurgy. The research addresses urgent needs in the industry, where asbestos-containing refractory materials (known for their carcinogenic properties) are being replaced with environmentally friendly alternatives. The Kaluga invention will simplify and accelerate the production of high-strength ceramic tooling required for metal casting. Governor Vladislav Shapsha reported that the State Council Commission on Human Resources, which he chairs, is fulfilling a Presidential directive. At its first extended meeting of the year, the commission discussed issues such as creating digital career portfolios for students, forming a national ranking system for universities and technical colleges, building on the experience of the National Technological Olympiad, and scaling the youth career center model. The governor promised to submit the updated action plan to the President by the end of the month. Novosibirsk Region Governor Andrey Travnikov met with representatives of the IT community and agreed to establish a professional IT association. He emphasized that it will strengthen collaboration among individual developers, commercial companies, and educational institutions, while elevating the dialogue between the industry and authorities. The region ranks sixth in Russia for software industry development and is among the top ten in implementing the national project Data Economy. The IT sector’s share of the gross regional product has already reached 4%. Nizhny Novgorod Region A team at Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University developed a new testing complex for driver-assistance systems. The centerpiece of the complex is a device that controls a mannequin capable of precisely imitating human movement while crossing a road. This allows AI systems and smart cameras to detect the artificial pedestrian as human and perform proper maneuvers to avoid collisions. Another advantage is the mannequin’s high impact resistance, allowing repeated use even in high-speed tests. Tomsk Region Scientists from Tomsk State University and the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences developed a method to increase the stiffness of metamaterials for bone implants by 20%. The research is supported by TSU’s Development Program under the federal Priority 2030 initiative — a significant complement to earlier advances by their colleagues in Samara. Perm Territory Researchers from Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU) and Volga State Agrarian University developed a robot for diagnosing and repairing pipes of various diameters — both in residential and industrial settings. The robot automatically adjusts to pipe diameters from 500 to 1400 mm, can navigate sharp 90-degree turns, and traverse vertical sections. The prototype has successfully passed preliminary testing. Perm engineers also created an intelligent voltage control system for DC power sources. It eliminates voltage fluctuations common in renewable and autonomous systems such as solar panels, batteries, and hybrid networks. The system’s main feature is the use of an adaptive neural network within an existing converter, improving voltage stabilization accuracy, increasing response speed by 58%, and reducing computational load more than twofold compared to conventional solutions. Krasnoyarsk Territory Governor Mikhail Kotyukov met with Sberbank Chairman Herman Gref to discuss several high-tech initiatives in the region, including a high-tech industrial park, a School 21 campus, and the introduction of digital healthcare technologies in regional hospitals and clinics, as well as the Safe and Smart City program. In a separate meeting with VEB.RF Chairman Igor Shuvalov, the sides discussed large investment projects in the forestry, mining, metallurgy, and power engineering sectors. Republic of Bashkortostan Head of the Republic Radiy Khabirov announced that, thanks to cooperation with the Federal Forestry Agency, 100% of the republic’s forest areas (5.7 million hectares) are now covered by satellite monitoring. Seven years ago, the coverage was only 6%. The satellite system helps prevent illegal logging and lease violations. Last year alone, it identified 71 cases of forestry law violations. Tyumen Region Governor Alexander Moor held talks with Consul General of China Luo Shixiong on strengthening economic cooperation, developing interuniversity programs and academic exchanges, and involving Chinese companies in the Tyumen Industrial and Energy Forum (TNF).

Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov held a working meeting with Russian Government Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. The main focus was on developing the creative economy and measures to boost labor productivity in the region. Tomsk Region A team from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU, Tomsk) collaborated with colleagues from China to develop a new technology for creating copper composites reinforced with carbides. This enables the combination of high thermal and electrical conductivity with enhanced strength. As a result, industrial-scale production becomes feasible for electronic devices and heat dissipation systems. Scientists at the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS) achieved a breakthrough in materials science: silicon bronze—a key industrial alloy—is now twice as strong and wear-resistant. This paves the way for a new generation of reliable components in mechanical engineering, energy, and aerospace. Specialists from Tomsk Polytechnic also developed Russia's first chip for testing the quality of X-ray microtomographs. The device is universal: it works for both equipment calibration and testing new scanning algorithms and protocols. Novosibirsk Region The Institute of Mining SB RAS has patented an efficient, affordable, and safe method for drilling wells to degas coal seams. The technique simultaneously creates a cavity for methane extraction and loosens the well walls, reducing explosion risks and enhancing miner safety. Novgorod Region NovSU, in collaboration with Chinese colleagues, presented a prototype of a compact magneto-electric antenna for ultra-low-frequency communication. The device enables underwater communication over distances up to 100 meters—an important step toward effective communication systems for scuba divers, underwater vehicles, and robots. Samara Region Scientists at Togliatti State University (TSU, Togliatti) developed an innovative method to protect magnesium alloys with rare-earth elements. The approach boosts wear and corrosion resistance without significantly increasing production costs. The new technology reduces corrosion rates by 3–4 times and is suitable for harsh environments—from aviation to automotive manufacturing. A research team from Samara State Technical University made a revolutionary discovery in materials science by developing a method to produce ordered porous structures based on topological analysis of atomic lattices in natural crystals. The resulting materials are lightweight yet highly strong and elastic. This could lead to significant weight reductions in construction, as well as next-generation bone implants. Republic of Bashkortostan Specialists at Ufa University of Science and Technology created a new method for repairing damaged metal parts. Cracks in metal will be "healed" using short, high-power electrical pulses combined with mechanical loading. This reduces local stresses and improves the material structure in the defect area, ultimately extending part lifespan and avoiding costly repairs or replacements.

The satellites are intended for Earth remote sensing, studying electromagnetic radiation, monitoring shipping in the World Ocean, receiving signals from Internet of Things transmitters, and researching the influence of space on living organisms. Among them are scientific and technological satellites from organizations in Russia and friendly countries (Iran, Belarus, Ecuador). Educational satellites were manufactured in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and several AIRR regions – Kaluga, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara Oblasts, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The emblems of the regions were depicted on the rocket body in recognition of their significant contribution to the project. "A historic launch of the Soyuz-2.1b rocket took place from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, delivering 52 satellites into orbit. This launch is not only the final chord of the space year but also a true breakthrough in preparing young personnel for Russian cosmonautics. The nose fairing of the rocket features emblems of four regions, including Kaluga Oblast, in recognition of the region's significant contribution to the project. Along with the large Aist-2T spacecraft, a constellation of small spacecraft (CubeSats) was sent into orbit. This includes two produced by the Kaluga Scientific Research Laboratory of Aerospace Technology of DOSAAF. The Laboratory also developed control systems for the Aists. It should be noted that DOSAAF NILAKT developments involve students from the Galaktika Space Education Center in Kaluga. Space is not only our historical heritage; our region actively participates in promising space projects," said Vladislav Shapsha. Another satellite, Lobachevsky, created as part of the Space Pie project by Nizhny Novgorod State University, is one of the largest satellites designed under a school scientific-educational program. The small spacecraft Lobachevsky was created with the support of the Nizhny Novgorod NOC. It will provide valuable data on Earth's ecological condition: the satellite is equipped with a payload for remote sensing. Its key tasks will include monitoring forest resources and agricultural crops, as well as testing new memristor technology in space conditions. Lobachevsky is one of the largest satellites created under a school scientific-educational program. "I am confident that the spacecraft and satellites successfully launched today will solve diverse scientific and practical tasks. May the boldness of thought that enabled humanity to conquer space, the readiness of our professionals to step into the unknown and achieve the impossible, continue to help realize breakthrough ideas and ambitious projects!" commented Nizhny Novgorod Oblast Governor Gleb Nikitin on his Telegram channel. A small spacecraft Cholbon – Yakutia's first satellite – was also launched into space. Head of the region Aisen Nikolaev emphasized that this is Yakutia's first experience participating in space projects with its own development. The project was implemented by a team of students from the Little Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Sirius Educational Center: Andrey Petrov, Anatoly Antonov, Timur Illarionov, Oleg Petrov, and Artem Mardin. Cholbon is a small spacecraft with proprietary microcontrollers and sensors. I would like to particularly note Andrey Petrov and Artem Mardin – they were involved in the project from the very beginning and went all the way from idea to actual launch. Last year, Artem Mardin was awarded the Znanierom Pobedish sign for his serious achievements at the school stage. Today, he is a student at the North-Eastern Federal University, which is a logical continuation of his chosen path," shared Aisen Nikolaev.

Arkhangelsk Region Governor Alexander Tsybulsky held an expanded meeting of the presidium of the Russian Federation State Council Commission "International Cooperation and Export." Participants discussed export support measures and agreed on the need to maintain funding for Export Support Centers. According to the region’s head and the commission chair, the necessary funds are allocated in the federal budget, so the centers' operations will continue. Ulyanovsk Region Governor Alexey Russkikh met with the head of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov, to discuss support for regional industry. The federal agency noted the region's strong performance and endorsed holding the All-Russian Clothing Manufacturers Forum next year. Republic of Mordovia First Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government Denis Manturov and Presidential Envoy to the Volga Federal District Igor Komarov visited the region. Head of the region Artem Zdunov showcased the republic's industrial potential to the guests, shared development indicators, and secured federal support for electronics manufacturers. They also agreed to explore creating an engineering center based at Ogarev Mordovia State University. Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Head of the region Aisen Nikolaev took part in a meeting on the use of ash-slag materials, chaired by Russian Minister of Energy Sergey Tsivilev and First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Andrey Yatskin. Using ash-slag materials is part of a broader task to improve the efficiency and technological maturity of the country's energy sector. Many regions produce thousands of tons of ash annually, which can be used in the economy. Novosibirsk Region NSU entered the top 20 of the pilot BRICS universities ranking, taking 6th place in Russia and first among regional universities. Governor Andrey Travnikov congratulated the team and reminded that a world-class campus is currently being built on NSU grounds—one of the region's priority development projects. Nizhny Novgorod Region The region received the grand prize of the "Leaders of Investment Development-2025" award from the National Association of Investment and Development Agencies, winning six out of 10 possible awards. Recognized were the regional Development Corporation (two employees also named best in investor support and attraction), the investment portal, and two companies operating in the "Kulibin" Special Economic Zone. Governor Gleb Nikitin congratulated everyone involved. Novosibirsk Region NSTU students have developed a new street lighting system—currently being tested in the university campus. The project builds on work to create a street lamp with a wind generator and holds huge potential for urban and private sector implementation. Another team of researchers from the same university developed software for modeling power supply failures and identifying restoration options. The program automatically assesses power supply reliability, identifies load nodes with voltage deviations, and suggests optimal device placement options. Tomsk Region TUSUR will launch an Engineering Center for Collective Design of Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits at the beginning of next year. The center is also aimed at targeted training of highly qualified personnel. This will create about 50 new scientific and high-quality jobs. The facility includes a full technological cycle of design and manufacturing of finished devices. Vladimir Region The team at the Murom branch of VSU is developing a signal former for 5G and 6G communication systems, ensuring high interference resistance and data transmission speed. The development also considers requirements for the latest sixth-generation systems, whose standards are being formulated now.

Extended Meeting of the State Council of the Russian Federation Commission on "Cadres" The meeting was attended by heads of AIRR member regions: Chairman of the State Council Commission on "Cadres" direction, Governor of the Kaluga Region Vladislav Shapsha, Governor of the Vladimir Region Alexander Avdeev, and Governor of the Tomsk Region Vladimir Mazur. Participants discussed key issues related to forecasting the economy's needs for cadres, developing the "Professionalitet" project, as well as preparing specialists for the digital economy and achieving technological leadership. Vladimir Mazur shared the Tomsk Region's experience in cadre forecasting. Alexander Avdeev presented a report on the progress of implementing the "Professionalitet" project. Vladislav Shapsha noted that more than 180 proposals on the topic of cadre training had been collected and analyzed. Republic of Tatarstan The region has established Russia's first League of Unmanned Systems based on the local Academy of Sciences. This is a unified ecosystem uniting developers' efforts in five directions: aerial, ground, and water unmanned technologies, as well as solutions in artificial intelligence and education. Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) The region may receive two atmospheric monitoring stations that will become part of the Arctic Carbon Polygon planned on the shelf of the Laptev Sea or the East Siberian Sea. Creating the monitoring system will allow an objective assessment of Siberia and the Far East's contribution to the global greenhouse gas balance. More than 100 scientists and graduate students from leading universities and RAS institutes are preparing to begin comprehensive carbon monitoring in the Northern Sea Route waters. Tomsk Region TSU scientists have discovered unique bacteria capable of neutralizing toxic waste from the mining industry saturated with heavy metals and aggressive acids. So-called production "tails"—up to 7 billion tons annually—pose a serious threat: they pollute soils, aquifers, rivers, and lakes. The discovered sulfate-reducing bacteria are highly active and resilient, though extremely rare in nature. They can transform hazardous compounds into safe substances. Moreover, these microorganisms can be used to extract rare earth elements from industrial waste. Their cultivation on an industrial scale does not require significant costs—the process is simple and economically viable. Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov visited the Tomsk Region for the second time this year. Together with Governor Vladimir Mazur, they discussed promising projects of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center, the Tomsk Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the RAS, as well as the federal electronics and unmanned technologies cluster launched in the region. The regional head emphasized that five leading universities continue active participation in the strategic academic leadership program "Priority-2030". Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha spoke at the Russian-Indian Forum, presenting the regional pharmaceutical cluster—one of the largest in Russia. As part of the forum, a strategic agreement was signed to create high-tech production of vital pharmaceutical substances in the region. Russian President Vladimir Putin called this agreement one of the key outcomes of the visit to India. Perm Krai The Engineering and Industrial Forum was held in the Perm Krai. During the event, Governor Dmitry Makhonin awarded the winner of the "Leader of Perm Krai" contest in the "Industry" category. The team from Proton-PM company won with the project to create the Perm Center for Rocket Engine Building. On the Proton-PM site of over 60,000 square meters, more than 300 units of modern equipment are placed. As a result, a unique production facility has been created, ready for serial production of engines for Angara launch vehicles and other high-tech space equipment. Tyumen Region The Third Technological Summit TNF was held in the region, bringing together leaders of the oil and gas industry. The agenda focused on import substitution of critical equipment, development of domestic oilfield services, as well as introducing technologies for Arctic operations and developing hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves. Governor Alexander Moor, who participated in the event, noted that many domestic developments showcased at the summit exhibition already surpass foreign analogs. Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor Gleb Nikitin held a working meeting with Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government Dmitry Chernyshenko. The discussion centered on the results of implementing Nizhny Novgorod universities' programs under the "Priority-2030" initiative. Three regional universities continue participation in the program and will receive 600 million rubles in grants for developing advanced scientific and educational directions. Two more universities are applying for inclusion in the program.

We analyze key events in the field of innovation, economic and scientific development in the regions of the Association. Extended Meeting of the State Council of the Russian Federation Commission on "Cadres" The meeting was attended by heads of AIRR member regions: Chairman of the State Council Commission on "Cadres" direction, Governor of the Kaluga Region Vladislav Shapsha, Governor of the Vladimir Region Alexander Avdeev, and Governor of the Tomsk Region Vladimir Mazur. Participants discussed key issues related to forecasting the economy's needs for cadres, developing the "Professionalitet" project, as well as preparing specialists for the digital economy and achieving technological leadership. Vladimir Mazur shared the Tomsk Region's experience in cadre forecasting. Alexander Avdeev presented a report on the progress of implementing the "Professionalitet" project. Vladislav Shapsha noted that more than 180 proposals on the topic of cadre training had been collected and analyzed. Republic of Tatarstan The region has established Russia's first League of Unmanned Systems based on the local Academy of Sciences. This is a unified ecosystem uniting developers' efforts in five directions: aerial, ground, and water unmanned technologies, as well as solutions in artificial intelligence and education. Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) The region may receive two atmospheric monitoring stations that will become part of the Arctic Carbon Polygon planned on the shelf of the Laptev Sea or the East Siberian Sea. Creating the monitoring system will allow an objective assessment of Siberia and the Far East's contribution to the global greenhouse gas balance. More than 100 scientists and graduate students from leading universities and RAS institutes are preparing to begin comprehensive carbon monitoring in the Northern Sea Route waters. Tomsk Region TSU scientists have discovered unique bacteria capable of neutralizing toxic waste from the mining industry saturated with heavy metals and aggressive acids. So-called production "tails"—up to 7 billion tons annually—pose a serious threat: they pollute soils, aquifers, rivers, and lakes. The discovered sulfate-reducing bacteria are highly active and resilient, though extremely rare in nature. They can transform hazardous compounds into safe substances. Moreover, these microorganisms can be used to extract rare earth elements from industrial waste. Their cultivation on an industrial scale does not require significant costs—the process is simple and economically viable.
Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov visited the Tomsk Region for the second time this year. Together with Governor Vladimir Mazur, they discussed promising projects of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center, the Tomsk Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the RAS, as well as the federal electronics and unmanned technologies cluster launched in the region. The regional head emphasized that five leading universities continue active participation in the strategic academic leadership program "Priority-2030".
Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha spoke at the Russian-Indian Forum, presenting the regional pharmaceutical cluster—one of the largest in Russia. As part of the forum, a strategic agreement was signed to create high-tech production of vital pharmaceutical substances in the region. Russian President Vladimir Putin called this agreement one of the key outcomes of the visit to India. Perm Krai The Engineering and Industrial Forum was held in the Perm Krai.

Key Factors of Regional Competitiveness" as part of the Vladimir Investment Congress. The session was opened by the Governor of the Vladimir Region, Alexander Avdeev. It was also attended by representatives of the region's business community and federal development institutions, including the Director of the Association of Clusters, Technoparks, and SEZs of Russia, Mikhail Labudin. The discussion platform has established itself as a meeting place for prominent Russian politicians, government officials, development institutions, the scientific community, entrepreneurs, and investors. The Congress traditionally focuses on issues of sustainable economic development, attracting investments, implementing national projects, and expanding international partnerships. As AIRR Director Alexander Smekalin noted, the Vladimir Region's accession to the Association is the result of active and systematic work by the regional team, which is developing the territory's scientific-technological and industrial potential. Emphasizing the specifics of innovation development in Russian regions, he pointed out that technological sovereignty is a federal-level task and requires distributing roles among regions based on their strengths—scientific schools, engineering competencies, and industrial base. Alexander Smekalin also drew attention to the need to adjust existing approaches to developing innovative infrastructure. He stressed that creating technoparks, laboratories, and venture tools should not only provide innovative solutions to the real sector of the economy but also meet the demand for innovations from the state and serve to address regional and municipal tasks. Special emphasis was placed on the topic of robotization. In Smekalin's opinion, despite large-scale support measures for robot manufacturers and buyers in the country, the institution of engineering centers and integrators capable of professionally integrating robotic solutions into production chains is still insufficiently developed. He proposed developing a network model of such centers based on existing development institutions—for example, the Federal Center for Competencies and the Agency for Technological Development—and scaling integration services to small and medium-sized enterprises. The Vladimir Region, with its strong engineering school and developed industrial complex, could become one of the pilot regions for launching such projects. "The Ministry of Industry and Trade is implementing a serious project on robotization and automation of production. It is highly relevant and addresses the task set by the President—to enter the top 25 countries leading in robot usage per 10,000 workers. There are significant support measures for robot manufacturers and consumers, but this chain is missing a critically important link that handles the integration of robotic complexes into production, engineering centers providing implementation services—and this competency is still weak today," Smekalin noted. Among the discussed initiatives, he voiced a proposal to form unified mechanisms for creating robotic chains at enterprises with subsequent reimbursement of costs through increased tax revenues—similar to the industrial parks model. This would ensure the formation of sustainable demand for domestic robotic solutions and support for technology companies. Corresponding proposals have already been sent by AIRR to federal authorities and are being discussed with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. For reference: In 2025, the Congress's central theme was Industry 4.0—a new technological approach to industry based on comprehensive automation, the introduction of artificial intelligence, and digital solutions. Participants discussed current economic trends, tasks, and opportunities for big business, mechanisms to increase efficiency, as well as the implementation of the national goal of Russia entering the top 25 global leaders in robotization density by 2030.

Nizhny Novgorod Region Regional support measures for the IT sector have been recognized as the most effective in Russia for the second year in a row. The ranking was compiled by the software developers association “Russoft.” Governor Gleb Nikitin emphasized that, among other things, thanks to the support measures, the turnover of IT companies in the region grew by 19.3% this year. Also, the region is successfully implementing an experimental legal regime for cargo transportation using UAVs: more than 2,500 flights have been made, drones have been tested for the delivery of biomaterials and medicines, and aerial delivery of household goods is carried out. By decision of the Russian Government, this regime will now also be implemented in Kaluga and Vladimir Regions, which are part of the AIIR (Association of Innovative Regions of Russia). Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev opened the I Forum of the Regions of Russia and Mongolia. The forum is attended by Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexey Overchuk and the First Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia Jadambyin Enkhbayar. The parties are set to discuss industrial product supplies from Russia to Mongolia. Novosibirsk Region A unique high-tech production of optical transceivers was opened in the region. Governor Andrey Travnikov called this an important event for Russian microelectronics and the telecommunications industry. Ulyanovsk Region Governor Alexey Russkikh reached an agreement with Veronika Nikishina, CEO of the Russian Export Center, to increase federal support for exporting companies. This may concern about 400 manufacturing companies, both large and SMEs. Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) The head of the region, Aysen Nikolaev, held meetings with federal ministers. He agreed with the Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov on advanced funding for northern supplies in 2026, and discussed modernization of industry and logistics, as well as the development of the SEZ “Yakutia” with the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov. Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov spoke about the results of the first year of implementing a set of measures to identify and support abilities and talents among children and youth. The number of engineering and natural science profile classes has increased, teacher and coach qualifications have been enhanced, payments have been raised for those whose wards won all-Russian and international competitions, and scholarships have been increased for talented schoolchildren and students. Training of young talents is conducted at the physics and math school, the Sputnik center, IT-cubes, and Quantoriums. The governor promised to expand the support system next year. Samara Region Scientists from Samara State University named after Korolyov, together with the company [Samis], created a service that identifies and classifies abandoned agricultural lands, helping to bring them back into use. Land condition analysis is conducted from space using AI. The neural service can detect even small land plots and distinguish abandoned plots with 95% accuracy, then determine their usage potential. The project has been tested and is ready for scaling. Tomsk Region Researchers at Tomsk Polytechnic University created power supplies for the focusing magnets of the accelerator-storage complex [SILA]. These are essential components for the new-generation synchrotron complex, which will begin construction in the Moscow region next year. Research in bio- and nanotechnologies and materials science will be conducted there. Specific metrological power sources were needed, which are not available in the domestic market. Tomsk specialists created them and integrated them into a unified automation and control system for the complex. Arkhangelsk Region The team at SAFU developed and applied a new method for detecting atmospheric pollutants. This allowed discovery of 31 new compounds (some of which are highly toxic) not yet included in current monitoring lists. The new method will help create a more advanced ecological control system in the Arctic.

The rating, operating since 2017, aims to identify the most competitive special economic zones that provide optimal conditions for implementing investment projects. A fundamental advantage of SEZs is the preferences on taxes and customs duties, as well as stable business conditions for residents. This year, three regions of АИРР topped the National Rating of investment attractiveness of SEZ Russia in the group "Industrial and port SEZ": • 1st place — SEZ PPT "Lipetsk" (Lipetsk Region) • 2nd place — SEZ PPT "Alabuga" (Republic of Tatarstan) • 3rd place — SEZ PPT "Alga" (Republic of Bashkortostan) The tourist-recreational type SEZ in Иркутская область "Gates of Baikal" took second place in its group. This area of activity was evaluated for the first time. Four more regions from the Association entered the TOP-10 SEZ rating: "Kulibin" (Nizhny Novgorod Region), POEZ "Ulyanovsk" (Ulyanovsk Region), SEZ "Togliatti" (Samara Region), and SEZ "Novgorod" (Novgorod Region). Special nominations also recognized SEZ "Kulibin" for "Comfortable Ecosystem," SEZ "Novgorod" in the nomination "Breakthrough of the Year," and SEZ "Tomsk" (Tomsk Region) for "Stable Growth." " SEZ "Lipetsk" was recognized as the best in Russia once again. The second year in a row and the third time in the region's history. (...) Today, 68 residents are registered in SEZ "Lipetsk". This year, a large seed-growing center of the company "Agrotek" was opened, and the "Hermes" plant launched the production of giant boilers for communal and industrial sectors. Eight enterprises are under construction. But for us, it is not only this that matters. We understand perfectly how to create conditions for business, and enterprises also need qualified personnel. Therefore, we purposefully coordinate the work of technical colleges and universities in the region, building training programs tailored to the specific requests of residents and ensuring well-paid jobs for young people," said the governor of Lipetsk Region Igor Artamonov. The head of the Republic of Bashkortostan Radiy Khabirov noted that ОЭЗ «Алга» entered the top three leaders of the National Rating of investment attractiveness of special economic zones of Russia for the first time. "Today, SEZ "Alga" is located on several sites in Ishimbaysky, Sterlitamaksky, and Ufimsky districts. The republic has created all the necessary infrastructure, including power and gas supply networks, access roads for automobile and railway transport. There are 25 residents in "Alga," implementing projects with a total investment volume of more than 65 billion rubles. They plan to create about 3,000 new jobs. We already see the results and the demand for this territory. Despite difficult times, we have plans for the further development of our special economic zone, including other municipalities. So, we are turning the page and moving forward," commented the successful development of SEZ Radiy Khabirov. This year, the rating includes 48 economic zones of all types, including tourist-recreational SEZs, which are being evaluated for the first time. The expansion of the rating structure allows a comprehensive assessment of the development dynamics of the entire SEZ system in Russia. "This year, all types of special economic zones entered the rating for the first time — including tourist-recreational zones. We revised and expanded the methodology, strengthening the emphasis on objective data, competencies of management companies, and the quality of infrastructure. As a result, it was possible to form the most transparent and reliable picture that will help investors make decisions and regions to enhance their competitive advantages," said the director of the Association of Clusters, Technoparks, and SEZs of Russia Mikhail Labudin. The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia clarifies that SEZs today actively use a wide range of state support measures, including compensation for infrastructure creation and opportunities for preferential financing, cluster approach. "The result of such a comprehensive approach is the growth of economic indicators. For example, in the first half of this year, investors have already invested about 600 billion rubles in the development of their projects in SEZs. The ratio of 'budget spending to private investment' now stands at 1 to 10. That is, for 1 state ruble, we attract 10 rubles of private investment into the economy," noted the Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Svyatoslav Sorokin.

The resulting composition could be used for durable surgical instruments and implants. This enables a shift to personalized medicine using shape-memory medical materials. Additionally, TSU created a quantum computing emulator to train future quantum engineers. Its uniqueness lies in Russia having only three such quantum computer emulators: "TeleQuantum" (Quant SP, Rosatom), "Web Laboratory for Quantum Computing" (TSU NI), and "Quantum MIREA" (RTU MIREA). Novosibirsk Region Regional Governor and State Council Commission Chairman on Technological Leadership Mikhail Kotyukov announced at the Young Scientists Congress in Sirius that authorities will define scientific-technological specialization for each Russian region. According to him, this will maximize each entity's expertise and unite universities, regional, and federal authorities to create modern high-tech products. The team at the Institute of Automation and Electrometry SB RAS developed fiber-optic sensors to monitor composite materials. These "smart composites" embed optical fiber sensors for real-time material assessment. The technology provides a new level of aviation fleet safety.

The discussion was moderated by Lilia Gumerova, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education, and Culture. The discussion focused on the role of student families in shaping the demographic and scientific potential of the country, support measures for young scientists, and career development paths. Participants included representatives from universities, research centers, families of young scientists, and scientific dynasties who shared proposals for improving state policy in this sphere. Alexander Smekalin noted that the discussion formed an "ideal" portrait of a young scientist — a successful person who graduated from university, advanced in science, works in their native region, started a family, and raises one or two children. Existing state support programs, however, depict a completely different image aimed at helping a single, needy young researcher. For example, the housing certificate conditions require a candidate or doctor of sciences with at least five years of scientific or scientific-pedagogical work experience who needs improved housing conditions. The social norm for a single citizen is 33 square meters, and the certificate does not take into account that a young scientist may have a family. "We strive for each student family to grow further in science, technological development, and innovation. These young people continue scientific schools at regional universities, later nurture new personnel, and set an example. Existing support measures, including housing certificates for young scientists, are undoubtedly necessary and provide good assistance for the down payment when buying their own housing on a mortgage. We propose taking an additional step in this direction by extending the preferential mortgage mechanism to young scientists as it has been done for the IT sector. While the IT specialist brings local benefits to a specific organization, young scientists provide a very significant synergistic effect for their university, region, and state," commented Alexander Smekalin.

The Prime Minister emphasized that Якутия became the first Russian region to approve the concept of developing a creative economy. Under the adopted document, the republic created the cluster "Квартал труда," IT park, Technopark " Yakutia," as well as an ecosystem of specialized education. In the coming years, the region plans to build the largest film studio and an inter-university campus. By 2030, the number of people employed in the creative industry is expected to increase from 48 thousand to 70 thousand. "Already this fall, the republic entered the top ten leaders in the country in developing a digital ecosystem.

This confirms our systematic work on implementing innovations and creating unique digital services for the republic's residents. In the 'technological' parameter, Якутия took third place in Russia, behind only Moscow and Tatarstan. The republic also entered the top 10 regions in terms of 'depth of electronic services.' Special pride is taken in the digital medical service, which helps families with young children. It is recognized as one of the 20 best digital practices in the country. We are also implementing large-scale infrastructure initiatives such as the project 'Arctic Synergy,' which is designed to unite and provide reliable digital communication to the entire northeast of the country.
