New Production Facilities The Russian government has supported the expansion of the Green Valley Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Tatarstan. Eight projects in biotechnology, petrochemicals, and advanced processing of raw materials are planned for the new site in the Nizhnekamsk District, with a total investment of nearly 300 billion rubles. Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak congratulated the thousands of employees of AVTOVAZ on the upcoming 60th anniversary of the plant's founding. The meeting also discussed the economic development of the Samara Region with regional governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev. In the Ulyanovsk Region, the PROMTEKH-Ulyanovsk company has mastered the production of domestically produced emergency slides for aircraft, completely replacing foreign-made ones. The company also produces interiors and passenger seats for civil aviation and is expanding its capacity with the support of the Industrial Development Fund. Scientific Infrastructure In Bashkortostan, construction has been completed on all seven towers of the Interuniversity Student Campus. It will become a modern scientific and educational environment for more than four thousand students and young scientists, combining educational spaces, laboratories, coworking spaces, and sports infrastructure. Commissioning is scheduled for 2027. Science and Technology In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Siberian Federal University has identified new strategic development areas. Priorities include the creation of a competence center for radio electronics and satellite communications systems, a predictive analytics center using artificial intelligence, a federal center for additive manufacturing, and an industrial design testing facility. Scientists from Perm Polytechnic University have developed a technology for producing fiber optics from domestically produced raw materials. This new solution will improve the reliability of optical systems for aviation, rocket science, the oil and gas industry, and medicine, reducing dependence on imported materials. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug Governor Ruslan Kukharuk has become a lecturer in the federal educational program "Arkhitektory.rf" (the national project "Infrastructure for Life"). It has been implemented by the DOM.RF Foundation since 2018. Human Resources The Samara Region has been among the leaders in the "Student Startup 2026" competition. Forty-eight young researchers and entrepreneurs in the region received grants of 1 million rubles each for the development of technology projects. Most of the initiatives focus on digital technologies, new devices, and biotechnology. Innovations in the Agricultural Sector At the All-Russian Field Day in the Altai Region, cutting-edge solutions for the agricultural sector were presented—from unmanned systems and precision farming technologies to modern developments in breeding and seed production. The "Big Agrotechnological Project" brings together key tools for increasing productivity and technological development in the industry. Energy of the Future At a meeting of the Russian State Council Commission on Energy, chaired by Aisen Nikolaev, the Head of Yakutia, issues related to the development of domestic renewable energy technologies and energy storage systems were discussed. The region's experience modernizing local energy systems confirms the effectiveness of such solutions for remote areas. In the Nizhny Novgorod Region, work continues to include the nuclear power plant construction project in the general plan for the placement of Russian electric power facilities. The project's implementation will be a long-term driver of industrial and energy infrastructure development in the region. Governor Gleb Nikitin believes that the failure to complete the Gorky Nuclear Power Plant at the end of the last century was a mistake.

This follows from the annual report for 2025. The Republic of Tatarstan emerged as the leader among industrial and production special economic zones in 2025, receiving the maximum efficiency rating of 100%. Furthermore, the republic's technology implementation SEZ also ranked among the best, receiving a score of 97% for the year. The following industrial and production SEZs also ranked among the leaders: • Lipetsk Region - 97% (3rd place); • Kaluga Region - 97% (4th place); • The Republic of Bashkortostan - 95% (6th place); • Samara Region - 93% (8th place). Overall, the special economic zone mechanism continues to demonstrate high efficiency, according to the Russian Ministry of Economic Development. Over the course of the assessed SEZs' operation, residents invested 4.46 trillion rubles and created nearly 150,000 jobs. There are 1,334 registered residents in the SEZs, with 181 new companies joining in 2025 alone. Residents' revenues over the entire period of the zones' operation amounted to 5.74 trillion rubles, of which 1.66 trillion rubles were generated in 2025. The report also highlights the SEZs' contribution to Russia's non-resource, non-energy exports—approximately 260 billion rubles. The budgetary impact remains a key performance indicator for special economic zones. The establishment of the SEZs has fully paid for itself for the Russian budget system: over the entire period, residents have contributed 752.2 billion rubles in taxes, customs duties, and insurance premiums. This amount exceeded the total government spending on the creation of SEZ infrastructure and the benefits provided to residents by 92.9 billion rubles. Other AIRR regions also demonstrated high performance. The special economic zones of the Novgorod Region (84%) and Nizhny Novgorod Region (82%) were recognized as effective. In the Vladimir Region, the Vladimir SEZ (78%) and Dobrograd-1 (75%) performed well, reflecting their ongoing development and increasing investment activity. The special economic zones of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra continued to strengthen their positions, receiving ratings of 74% and 62%, respectively. Over the entire period of operation of the special economic zones, the top five included Lipetsk Region (97%), Kaluga Region (96%), and the Republic of Tatarstan (95%). Samara Region maintained a high score of 93%, Nizhny Novgorod Region (84%), and the Republic of Bashkortostan (80%). According to Alexander Smekalin, Director of the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR), the assessment results indicate that the Association's regions continue to develop the most effective platforms for implementing investment projects, developing high-tech industries, and attracting private capital. A significant portion of the country's most successful special economic zones are concentrated in these regions.

According to Novosibirsk Region Governor Andrey Travnikov, following a comprehensive on-site inspection by Rostekhnadzor, a certificate of inspection of the capital construction project has been issued, which is the basis for its commissioning. "Full construction readiness of the buildings and structures was confirmed by Rostekhnadzor following a comprehensive on-site inspection of the facility. Currently, SKIF is fully equipped with over 60,000 pieces of equipment. The SKIF Center for Collective Use is a megascience project with a Generation 4+ synchrotron, built in the Novosibirsk science city of Koltsovo. It is a complex of 34 buildings and structures and is unique in the world. The unique characteristics of the new synchrotron will enable advanced X-ray research in a variety of fields—chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, geology, and the humanities—and will also address pressing issues facing innovative and industrial enterprises. The implementation of such a large-scale federal project in the Novosibirsk region confirms that everything started in the region is being completed," Andrey Travnikov commented on social media. Construction of the SKIF synchrotron began near the Koltsovo science town in the Novosibirsk region, near the Vector State Research Center, on August 25, 2021. The SKIF shared-use center is a separate division of the Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to the updated construction plan for the SKIF shared-use center, the launch of the facility, with seven stations in the first phase, is scheduled for 2026. However, the technical launch of the SKIF shared-use center already took place on December 22 of last year.

The Siberian Ring Photon Source Collective Use Center (SKIF) has received a construction completion certificate. According to Novosibirsk Region Governor Andrey Travnikov, following a comprehensive on-site inspection by Rostekhnadzor, a certificate of inspection of the capital construction project has been issued, which is the basis for its commissioning. "Full construction readiness of the buildings and structures was confirmed by Rostekhnadzor following a comprehensive on-site inspection of the facility. Currently, SKIF is fully equipped with over 60,000 pieces of equipment. The SKIF Center for Collective Use is a megascience project with a Generation 4+ synchrotron, built in the Novosibirsk science city of Koltsovo. It is a complex of 34 buildings and structures and is unique in the world. The unique characteristics of the new synchrotron will enable advanced X-ray research in a variety of fields—chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, geology, and the humanities—and will also address pressing issues facing innovative and industrial enterprises. The implementation of such a large-scale federal project in the Novosibirsk region confirms that everything started in the region is being completed," Andrey Travnikov commented on social media. Construction of the SKIF synchrotron began near the Koltsovo science town in the Novosibirsk region, near the Vector State Research Center, on August 25, 2021. The SKIF shared-use center is a separate division of the Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to the updated construction plan for the SKIF shared-use center, the launch of the facility, with seven stations in the first phase, is scheduled for 2026. However, the technical launch of the SKIF shared-use center already took place on December 22 of last year. The stations are planned to be used to study the structure of biopolymers, the mechanisms of functioning of living organisms, the transmission of genetic information, the mechanism of action of drugs, the creation of new materials, the study of fast processes, and other applications. The construction of the SKIF shared-use center was initially estimated at 37.1 billion rubles; the final cost of the entire project currently exceeds 50 billion rubles.

Domestic solutions for machine vision and robot control are being created, technological audits of enterprises are conducted, and a new generation of engineers for high-tech industries is being trained. Governor Gleb Nikitin: “We are entering a new stage of industrial robotization—bringing together science and the needs of real production in cooperation with the Nizhny Novgorod Research and Education Center and the Polytechnic University.” In Perm Krai, the company F2 Innovations, which grew out of a student project, produces the largest industrial 3D printers in the country. The company’s developments are used in aviation, oil and gas, transport, and other strategic industries. Governor Dmitry Makhonin: “Today, the company is the only domestic manufacturer of large-format industrial 3D printers operating in compliance with strict state standards.” Investment Climate In Mordovia, projects are being developed to create a business park at the SEZ site and an industrial technopark in Saransk. The advanced development area “Ruzaevka” continues to grow, with major investment projects already underway—these were discussed with Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Reshetnikov. Head of the Republic Artem Zdunov: “The region’s potential allows for an increase in the number of residents—Mordovia is among the top eight most investment-attractive regions in Russia.” Foundation for Growth In Bashkortostan, industrial heritage has become a driver of domestic tourism growth. In July, the region will host the first Festival of Mining and Metallurgical Civilization “Copper,” aimed at drawing attention to unique industrial heritage sites and supporting territorial development. Workforce for the Economy In the Irkutsk Region, new clusters of secondary vocational education are being created in “Pedagogy” and “Chemical Industry” under the “Professionalitet” project. The region continues aligning workforce training with economic needs. In the Novosibirsk Region, the federal stage of the All-Russian Job Fair “Work in Russia. Time of Opportunities” has been launched, helping companies find specialists and young professionals build career paths in the region. Minister of Labour and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov took part in the event. Scientific Infrastructure In the Tyumen Region, a positive state expert review has been obtained for the second phase of constructing a world-class interuniversity campus. Construction of nine facilities, including a technopark, an academic and laboratory building, and a center for supporting talented youth, will begin in July. The Russian Government will allocate additional funding for the creation of a network of modern university campuses across the regions. Among the projects is the IT campus “NEIMARK” in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, which will become one of the key platforms for training personnel for the digital economy.

In total, six Russian regions made it into the top ranking, alongside Moscow, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, and Tobolsk. The Association notes that the findings of the VEB.RF study largely correlate with the results of the Regional Innovation Development Index (the latest quarterly report was also presented at SPIEF). The index evaluates conditions for technological development and the effectiveness of innovation implementation across Russian regions. Most regions hosting TechLead cities identified by VEB.RF also rank highly in the “Human Capital” category of the AIRR rating. According to AIRR experts, one of the key factors of sustainable technological development is the integration of the education system into the regional economy and its alignment with the real demands of high-tech industries. This is especially important for large industrial centers, where workforce training requires close cooperation between universities, colleges, employers, and regional development institutions. AIRR Director Alexander Smekalin emphasized that the study results confirm the need to move from interregional competition to a model of cooperation in order to address complex challenges and build effective chains for developing and commercializing new technologies. “So far, we see that regions tend to compete with each other—for investment, federal resources, and talent. This paradigm of ‘local optimization’ unfortunately hinders rather than supports the achievement of national goals. The same applies to education. The demand of anchor enterprises for specialists is often insufficient to support full-scale educational programs. At the same time, cooperation in this area between educational institutions and potential partners from other regions remains underdeveloped,” Smekalin noted. The Association also highlights that the development of STEM education and practice-oriented engineering skills is becoming a key prerequisite for building a workforce for a high-tech economy. The most effective models, according to Yevgeny Khotulev, Head of AIRR’s Analytical Division, emerge where education policy is aligned with regional industrial specialization and the long-term needs of employers.

VEB.RF presented the results of its study “From Knowledge to Technology: Models of Urban Development” at SPIEF 2026. According to the authors, two AIRR regions—Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod—were named among the leaders in workforce training for technological leadership (TechLead). In total, six Russian regions made it into the top ranking, alongside Moscow, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, and Tobolsk. The Association notes that the findings of the VEB.RF study largely correlate with the results of the Regional Innovation Development Index (the latest quarterly report was also presented at SPIEF). The index evaluates conditions for technological development and the effectiveness of innovation implementation across Russian regions. Most regions hosting TechLead cities identified by VEB.RF also rank highly in the “Human Capital” category of the AIRR rating. According to AIRR experts, one of the key factors of sustainable technological development is the integration of the education system into the regional economy and its alignment with the real demands of high-tech industries. This is especially important for large industrial centers, where workforce training requires close cooperation between universities, colleges, employers, and regional development institutions. AIRR Director Alexander Smekalin emphasized that the study results confirm the need to move from interregional competition to a model of cooperation in order to address complex challenges and build effective chains for developing and commercializing new technologies. “So far, we see that regions tend to compete with each other—for investment, federal resources, and talent. This paradigm of ‘local optimization’ unfortunately hinders rather than supports the achievement of national goals. The same applies to education. The demand of anchor enterprises for specialists is often insufficient to support full-scale educational programs. At the same time, cooperation in this area between educational institutions and potential partners from other regions remains underdeveloped,” Smekalin noted. The Association also highlights that the development of STEM education and practice-oriented engineering skills is becoming a key prerequisite for building a workforce for a high-tech economy. The most effective models, according to Yevgeny Khotulev, Head of AIRR’s Analytical Division, emerge where education policy is aligned with regional industrial specialization and the long-term needs of employers.

The Deputy Prime Minister outlined key priorities of state policy in spatial and infrastructure development and emphasized the importance of coordination between the federal center and regional authorities in implementing large-scale projects. “Last year marked the first year of the new national project ‘Infrastructure for Life.’ Thanks to our joint efforts, despite all challenges, we achieved all planned targets. This shows that we have built an effective system of interaction between the Government and the regions. This is largely facilitated by the Headquarters of the Government Commission on Regional Development, where all governors meet on a weekly basis. This format allows us to synchronize our work and promptly resolve emerging issues. The President has set strategic objectives through 2030, and we are steadily moving toward achieving them. I am confident that together we will accomplish all our plans,” said Marat Khusnullin. A vivid example of such cooperation is the pilot project between the Tyumen Region and Avtodor Group within a new form of public-private partnership—long-term investment agreements. The project предусматривает the construction of a second transport ring around Tyumen—the “Southern Bypass”—which will help reduce congestion on federal and regional highways, increase transit speeds, and create additional conditions for investment-driven development. Joint financing involving regional authorities, the Government of the Russian Federation, and Avtodor Group will provide a strong boost to the region’s investment growth. An industrial park is being developed within the project’s zone of influence. “The Tyumen Southern Bypass is a real contribution to enhancing the region’s investment attractiveness. The new route will provide direct access to the industrial park area, where a major distribution center will be located. One of the key criteria in selecting the site was the availability of convenient transport interchanges. The planned bypass will also become an important element for the successful operation of a nationwide thermal resort focused on sports and wellness. Altogether, this represents tens of billions of rubles in investment and thousands of jobs,” said Tyumen Region Governor Alexander Moor. Marat Khusnullin highly praised the presented project and encouraged AIRR regions to consider replicating such infrastructure development practices. The Republic of Tatarstan has already joined the initiative. A formal signing ceremony took place at the AIRR platform between the Republic of Tatarstan and Avtodor Group. The document was signed by Rais (Head) of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and Chairman of the Board of the state company Vyacheslav Petushenko. The agreement is aimed at implementing a long-term investment mechanism for territorial development in areas adjacent to the road network and provides for the creation of conditions for further industrial and urban development.

As part of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, a meeting was held with governors of regions that are members of the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR), with the participation of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Chairman of the AIRR Supervisory Board Marat Khusnullin. According to him, the Association brings together regional leaders who are true drivers of the country’s development. As noted by the Rais (Head) of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, who chairs the Association’s Council, AIRR traditionally holds such meetings within the framework of the international economic forum. He emphasized their particular importance as a platform for direct dialogue between regions and federal authorities and for developing joint solutions on key areas of technological and socio-economic development.
This year, heads of federal executive authorities were invited to participate in the joint work, including Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Pavel Kadochnikov and Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Alexey Matushansky. Permanent members of the Association’s Supervisory Board also took part, including President of Delovaya Rossiya Alexey Repik and First Deputy CEO of Innopraktika Natalia Popova. During the meeting, participants discussed support measures for enterprises in engineering, microelectronics, machine tool building, and other high-tech industries. Head of the Republic of Mordovia Artem Zdunov put forward proposals for the development of several high-tech sectors, including radio electronics. Governor of Kaluga Region Vladislav Shapsha presented initiatives to develop the industrial mortgage program. “The Association pays special attention to the development of high-tech businesses and small technology companies. I am confident that the proposals voiced today by regional leaders and members of the Association’s Supervisory Board will receive the necessary support at the federal level,” emphasized AIRR Director Alexander Smekalin. Another key topic was mechanisms for attracting investment into infrastructure projects. Governor of Tyumen Region Alexander Moor presented a mechanism for long-term investment agreements, particularly with the Avtodor Group, as an effective tool for financing the construction of federal and regional road infrastructure. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin highly praised the pilot project in the Tyumen Region. According to him, widespread adoption of this practice and the new investment attraction mechanism will increase the intensity of infrastructure development and improve territorial connectivity. As noted by AIRR Director Alexander Smekalin, the regulatory framework for launching long-term investment agreements is largely based on the experience of the Association’s regions. A number of regions signed similar agreements during SPIEF 2026, including the Republic of Tatarstan and Vladimir Region, both members of AIRR.

Despite the traditional seasonal recovery in the labor market after the New Year period, the medium-term trend still indicates declining demand for talent. In Q1 2026, demand for innovation economy personnel—i.e., STEM professionals—rose by 27.5% compared to the previous quarter; however, over the past 12 months (March 2026 vs. March 2025), the level decreased by 13.6%. The decline in demand for highly qualified specialists is occurring against the backdrop of slowing economic activity. In 2025, industrial production grew by 1.3%, investment activity remained subdued, and consumer demand showed moderate dynamics. The AIRR study also highlights changes in the structure of demand. While the IT sector previously acted as one of the key market drivers, employers are now increasingly seeking engineering, research, and production specialists. The share of IT company vacancies in the total number of STEM vacancies fell to 13.2%, down from 15.3% a year earlier. Over the year, the absolute number of IT vacancies decreased by 27.3%, significantly outpacing the overall decline in STEM demand. “Demand is gradually shifting toward engineering, operational, and research professions. These areas are currently less susceptible to automation, as they require solving physical and applied real-world problems. Amid widespread concerns about AI algorithms gradually displacing humans, we believe these professions will remain ‘human’ for now,” commented AIRR Director Alexander Smekalin. Employment conditions are also gradually changing. After a period of rapid expansion of remote and hybrid formats, the labor market is returning to a more traditional model of work organization. In Q1 2026, the share of full-time vacancies increased to 87.5%, rising by 13.2 percentage points compared to the previous quarter. Another notable trend is the narrowing of employment opportunities for young specialists. Employers are reducing investment in training candidates without work experience and increasingly prefer applicants with ready-made competencies. The share of vacancies open to candidates without experience dropped to 10.1%, down from 12.9% a year earlier. This trend is especially pronounced in regions with higher wage levels, where companies are less willing to invest in long-term training. At the same time, demand for older specialists is increasing. In conditions of limited resources and continued pressure on payroll budgets, employers are more often choosing candidates with lower salary expectations who can integrate into workflows more quickly. According to AIRR experts, the labor market is gradually showing signs of shifting from an “employee-driven” market—typical of recent years marked by labor shortages—back to a more traditional model in which employers play the key role in hiring decisions and set employment conditions. “The conventional unemployment rate no longer fully reflects the state of the labor market and ongoing changes. Employers remain interested in qualified specialists but are increasingly focusing on productivity and efficiency of existing staff rather than actively expanding headcount. Companies are becoming more cautious in hiring, preferring to retain current employees. At the same time, the number of workers on downtime, part-time schedules, or at risk of layoffs is increasing,” notes Alexander Smekalin. According to AIRR forecasts, in Q2 2026 demand for STEM specialists will remain relatively stable, taking seasonal factors into account. At the same time, companies will continue adapting to slower economic activity primarily by improving the efficiency of existing teams and redistributing workloads rather than significantly expanding hiring. The index is calculated as the number of STEM vacancies per 10,000 economically active people in a region (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—a term used to denote strategically important academic disciplines and professional fields). This material was prepared in partnership with the online recruiting platform HeadHunter (hh.ru). The full report is available on the AIRR website.

Experts from the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR) presented an updated calculation of the Regional Demand Index for Talent in the Innovation Economy (STEM) for the first quarter of 2026. Despite the traditional seasonal recovery in the labor market after the New Year period, the medium-term trend still indicates declining demand for talent. In Q1 2026, demand for innovation economy personnel—i.e., STEM professionals—rose by 27.5% compared to the previous quarter; however, over the past 12 months (March 2026 vs. March 2025), the level decreased by 13.6%. The decline in demand for highly qualified specialists is occurring against the backdrop of slowing economic activity. In 2025, industrial production grew by 1.3%, investment activity remained subdued, and consumer demand showed moderate dynamics. The AIRR study also highlights changes in the structure of demand. While the IT sector previously acted as one of the key market drivers, employers are now increasingly seeking engineering, research, and production specialists. The share of IT company vacancies in the total number of STEM vacancies fell to 13.2%, down from 15.3% a year earlier. Over the year, the absolute number of IT vacancies decreased by 27.3%, significantly outpacing the overall decline in STEM demand. “Demand is gradually shifting toward engineering, operational, and research professions. These areas are currently less susceptible to automation, as they require solving physical and applied real-world problems. Amid widespread concerns about AI algorithms gradually displacing humans, we believe these professions will remain ‘human’ for now,” commented AIRR Director Alexander Smekalin. Employment conditions are also gradually changing. After a period of rapid expansion of remote and hybrid formats, the labor market is returning to a more traditional model of work organization. In Q1 2026, the share of full-time vacancies increased to 87.5%, rising by 13.2 percentage points compared to the previous quarter. Another notable trend is the narrowing of employment opportunities for young specialists. Employers are reducing investment in training candidates without work experience and increasingly prefer applicants with ready-made competencies. The share of vacancies open to candidates without experience dropped to 10.1%, down from 12.9% a year earlier. This trend is especially pronounced in regions with higher wage levels, where companies are less willing to invest in long-term training. At the same time, demand for older specialists is increasing. In conditions of limited resources and continued pressure on payroll budgets, employers are more often choosing candidates with lower salary expectations who can integrate into workflows more quickly. According to AIRR experts, the labor market is gradually showing signs of shifting from an “employee-driven” market—typical of recent years marked by labor shortages—back to a more traditional model in which employers play the key role in hiring decisions and set employment conditions. “The conventional unemployment rate no longer fully reflects the state of the labor market and ongoing changes. Employers remain interested in qualified specialists but are increasingly focusing on productivity and efficiency of existing staff rather than actively expanding headcount. Companies are becoming more cautious in hiring, preferring to retain current employees. At the same time, the number of workers on downtime, part-time schedules, or at risk of layoffs is increasing,” notes Alexander Smekalin. According to AIRR forecasts, in Q2 2026 demand for STEM specialists will remain relatively stable, taking seasonal factors into account. At the same time, companies will continue adapting to slower economic activity primarily by improving the efficiency of existing teams and redistributing workloads rather than significantly expanding hiring. The index is calculated as the number of STEM vacancies per 10,000 economically active people in a region (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—a term used to denote strategically important academic disciplines and professional fields).

During a working visit to the region, the Minister of Science and Higher Education, together with Governor Andrey Travnikov, assessed the current status of construction, installation, and commissioning works at SKIF, as well as the progress of scientific equipment installation at the experimental stations, according to the ministry’s press service. “The commissioning of SKIF is of critical importance both for cutting-edge scientific research and for addressing practical challenges faced by innovative and industrial enterprises. By 2035, the center plans to establish 30 experimental stations where scientists from various fields, representing research organizations in Russia and partner countries, will be able to work,” emphasized Valery Falkov. The equipment for seven first-phase experimental stations has been fully manufactured. At present, equipment for two of them has already been installed: the “Fast Processes” station, which will enable the study of material properties under extreme loads and high temperatures; the “High-Energy X-ray Diagnostics” station, designed for applications in materials science, life sciences, archaeology, and paleontology. Both stations have successfully completed dry-run testing. The creation of five additional stations is at the final stage. Among them: “Basic Synchrotron Diagnostic Methods for Education, Research, and Innovation Activities of Students” — an educational and research laboratory primarily focused on training specialists. The first experiments at SKIF will be conducted at this station, including studies of titanium-based catalyst structures used in producing ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, a material applied in medical implants such as artificial joint components and wear-resistant medical equipment parts; “Microfocus” — equipped with diamond anvil cells for studying the structure, properties, and behavior of matter under ultra-high pressure; “Structural Diagnostics” — designed for investigating the structure of organic and inorganic substances at the atomic and molecular levels. The station will support research in biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, materials science, solid-state chemistry, energy, metallurgy, and the nuclear industry; “XAFS Spectroscopy and Magnetic Dichroism” — intended for a wide range of applications in structural chemistry, catalysis, materials science, semiconductor industry, geology, and environmental studies. The station’s equipment will enable atomic-level analysis of organic and inorganic materials, as well as studies of functional materials; “Electronic Structure” — focused on the study of catalysts, microelectronics components, and semiconductor devices. As noted by Governor Andrey Travnikov, the equipment has been developed by Siberian scientists from leading research institutions, including the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, the Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics, the Design and Technological Institute of Scientific Instrument Engineering, and others. The Boreskov Institute of Catalysis coordinated the work. The quality of this unique equipment meets the highest standards. More than 1,500 contracts with subcontractors were signed for the production of station components, with 88 elements designed and manufactured in Russia for the first time. Four student design bureaus also participated in the project. The SKIF team is currently being actively formed. At present, it comprises around 300 people, most of whom are researchers and engineers from a wide range of disciplines. Among them, 45 hold PhD degrees and 16 hold Doctor of Sciences degrees.
