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.

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.

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).

[~DETAIL_TEXT] => 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.

Krasnoyarsk Territory At the “Labor Productivity Improvement” forum held in the region, the following figures were announced: the use of generative AI for automated design of structural elements resulted in a tenfold increase in productivity in generating aircraft wing components, while the design time for structural elements and system layouts was reduced by 22 times. The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education also highlighted the session “Best Practices for Improving Labor Productivity in Russian Universities” held as part of the forum. Novosibirsk Region Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, together with Governor Andrey Travnikov, visited the site of the Siberian Synchrotron Radiation Source (SKIF) user facility, where scientific equipment is being installed at experimental stations. The facility is 99.7% complete. Equipment has already been installed at the “Fast Processes” and “High-Energy X-ray Diagnostics” stations. Tomsk Region Valery Falkov opened the plenary session of the 11th All-Russian Forum of Young Scientists, Engineers, and Entrepreneurs “UNOVUS” in Tomsk. He discussed with students participating in the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform the support measures available for startups at different stages. Governor Vladimir Mazur also commented on the meeting with young scientists, noting that the discussion covered not only startups but also the factors needed to improve the effectiveness of entrepreneurial activity. Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Irkutsk Region A large-scale oil production project has been launched at the Chona group of fields, located on the border of the two regions. A digital geological and hydrodynamic reservoir model was developed to support the project, enabling the selection of efficient extraction methods. By the end of 2026, the project is expected to supply up to 2 million tons of oil annually to the Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean pipeline system, according to Head of Yakutia Aysen Nikolaev. Irkutsk Region The region has submitted an application to participate in the competitive selection for the “Creation of a Network of Modern Campuses” program. The core of the interuniversity student campus in Irkutsk will be a science and technology park focused on high-tech solutions for regional needs. Planned areas include competence centers such as “Energy of Siberia,” “Aircraft Engineering,” the Baikal Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies, and the “New Molecules Conveyor,” Governor Igor Kobzev said. Nizhny Novgorod Region Summing up the results of CIPR 2026, Governor Gleb Nikitin highly оценил the impact on the region: “We reached agreements with major investors to support Nizhny Novgorod IT startups. Our companies presented their developments at CIPR, arguably the best platform for professional dialogue and finding interested partners.” Perm Territory Scientists at Perm National Research Polytechnic University have developed a program for the calculation and optimization of small-scale reactors in which natural gas is converted into methanol. Republic of Tatarstan Researchers at KNRTU-KAI named after A.N. Tupolev have developed and patented a high-precision device for measuring alternating electric field voltage. It will allow energy specialists to monitor grid parameters in real time, prevent accidents, and calculate power quality indicators, resulting in more reliable and safer operation of electrical equipment. Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha noted that his initiative on the robotization of warehouse complexes, first announced at SPIEF 2025, has evolved into a full section of a state program aimed at improving labor productivity and automating production. Innovative development remains one of the region’s key priorities. The business forum “Pioneers of Innovation: Unity of Business, Science, and Technology” was held here for the sixth time.

Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Irkutsk Region A large-scale oil production project has been launched at the Chona group of fields, located on the border of the two regions. A digital geological and hydrodynamic reservoir model was developed to support the project, enabling the selection of efficient extraction methods. By the end of 2026, the project is expected to supply up to 2 million tons of oil annually to the Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean pipeline system, according to Head of Yakutia Aysen Nikolaev. Irkutsk Region The region has submitted an application to participate in the competitive selection for the “Creation of a Network of Modern Campuses” program. The core of the interuniversity student campus in Irkutsk will be a science and technology park focused on high-tech solutions for regional needs. Planned areas include competence centers such as “Energy of Siberia,” “Aircraft Engineering,” the Baikal Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies, and the “New Molecules Conveyor,” Governor Igor Kobzev said. Nizhny Novgorod Region Summing up the results of CIPR 2026, Governor Gleb Nikitin highly оценил the impact on the region: “We reached agreements with major investors to support Nizhny Novgorod IT startups. Our companies presented their developments at CIPR, arguably the best platform for professional dialogue and finding interested partners.” Perm Territory Scientists at Perm National Research Polytechnic University have developed a program for the calculation and optimization of small-scale reactors in which natural gas is converted into methanol. Republic of Tatarstan Researchers at KNRTU-KAI named after A.N. Tupolev have developed and patented a high-precision device for measuring alternating electric field voltage. It will allow energy specialists to monitor grid parameters in real time, prevent accidents, and calculate power quality indicators, resulting in more reliable and safer operation of electrical equipment. Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha noted that his initiative on the robotization of warehouse complexes, first announced at SPIEF 2025, has evolved into a full section of a state program aimed at improving labor productivity and automating production. Innovative development remains one of the region’s key priorities. The business forum “Pioneers of Innovation: Unity of Business, Science, and Technology” was held here for the sixth time. Kaluga Region is the only Russian region represented at the крупнейшей International Exhibition of Unmanned Technologies in Shenzhen, China. At the regional stand, two residents of the regional UAV research and production center are presenting new projects.

Dmitry Makhonin emphasized that the region's task is to make state procurement as efficient as possible for customers, suppliers, and the regional economy. To use funds rationally, Prikamye (Perm Territory) has changed its approaches to managing this mechanism. Special attention in Perm Territory is given, of course, to the quality of products supplied by contractors under state orders. A new tool has been introduced — examination of procured products. Initial contract price checks are also applied — market prices from different contractors are compared to ensure a “price-quality” balance. This has significantly reduced contract prices while maintaining product and service quality. “More than 70% of all contracts concluded in the krai are executed by Perm companies. This confirms that regional producers create truly high-quality products that meet market demands. For example, metal structures produced by Krasnokamsk Repair and Mechanical Plant are used in constructing many social facilities in the region, including the ‘Energiya’ sports complex in Perm. There are many such examples of successful intra-regional cooperation. We will expand this practice,” the governor stressed.

Other speakers included Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Competition Protection Anton Getta, Deputy Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Sergey Glagolev, Deputy Head of the Treasury of Russia Anna Katamadze, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Alexey Matushansky, CEO of PSC “Unified Customer in the Construction Sector” Karen Oganesyan, and Head of the Moscow City Department for Competitive Policy Kirill Purtov. The discussion was moderated by Rostech State Corporation Executive Director Oleg Evtushenko. Participants reviewed planned changes to the contract system legislation, innovations in the unified information system for procurement, adjustments to national regime application rules, and also discussed comprehensive support for manufacturers, import substitution experience in construction, healthcare, critical infrastructure provision, and priority tasks for developing competition among Russian producers. Dmitry Makhonin emphasized that the region's task is to make state procurement as efficient as possible for customers, suppliers, and the regional economy. To use funds rationally, Prikamye (Perm Territory) has changed its approaches to managing this mechanism.
Special attention in Perm Territory is given, of course, to the quality of products supplied by contractors under state orders. A new tool has been introduced — examination of procured products. Initial contract price checks are also applied — market prices from different contractors are compared to ensure a “price-quality” balance. This has significantly reduced contract prices while maintaining product and service quality. “More than 70% of all contracts concluded in the krai are executed by Perm companies. This confirms that regional producers create truly high-quality products that meet market demands. For example, metal structures produced by Krasnokamsk Repair and Mechanical Plant are used in constructing many social facilities in the region, including the ‘Energiya’ sports complex in Perm. There are many such examples of successful intra-regional cooperation. We will expand this practice,” the governor stressed. In 2025, the total volume of state and municipal contracts concluded in Perm Territory amounted to over 182 billion rubles; in the first quarter of this year — over 28 billion rubles.

The event was traditionally held as part of the International Forum "Intellectual Property for the Future." On the eve of the meeting, a strategic session titled "Supporting Inventive Activity at the Regional Level" took place, organized by AIR jointly with the Intellectual Property Development Fund (St. Petersburg). The proposals developed at the end of the session formed the basis for discussion at the Committee meeting. Current Challenges Participants believe that despite the growth in patent activity and infrastructure development, the current intellectual property management system does not yet deliver the expected economic impact. Regional practices show positive dynamics in the number of patent applications, but one of the key problems remains the lack of transparent mechanisms for assessing the value of intellectual rights and involving them in economic turnover. Regional Leaders' Views "Developing effective tools to support inventors and growing the intellectual property market are key tasks for stimulating regional innovative growth. The talented young generation of our region plays a special role in this process, actively participating in creating new inventions and conducting research," noted Denis Sinyavsky, Deputy Governor of Vladimir Region (an AIRR member region). "Yugra is a self-sufficient entity with powerful oil and gas production and a strong university base, where issues of innovation, technology, and intellectual property rights are increasingly entering the orbit of interests and values. Our priority today is to build a system that fosters a culture and genuine interest in inventiveness among people. We want it to become trendy and organically integrated into life trajectories—from school desks to professional realization. I am confident that the 'Young Inventor of Yugra' contest, intensives for youth and students, as well as expanded support for citizens and entrepreneurs, will definitely bear fruit," commented Igor Anfalog, Director of the Yugra Technopark (from an AIRR member region). Best Regional Practices AIRR participants showcased experiences from Kaluga, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod, Tomsk regions, the Republic of Mordovia, and KhMAO—Yugra. Tomsk Region demonstrated steady growth in patent activity—by 24% over the year—and the development of digital tools for intellectual property management, including integration of data on science, developments, and technologies into a single platform. Nizhny Novgorod Region presented successful cases of using intellectual property as a financial tool: in 2025, the first lending deals were implemented using intellectual property rights as collateral. Kaluga Region emphasized the cluster development model and the problem of "leakage" of intellectual rights to federal-level head companies, which distorts regional statistics and reduces local economic impact. Novgorod Region showcased a systematic approach to training personnel in intellectual property, including the "Patent Engineer" educational program and high graduate employment rates—up to 88%. The Republic of Mordovia and KhMAO—Yugra focused on popularizing intellectual property among youth and fostering an inventive culture through contests, educational programs, and startup support. Financing Mechanisms One of the Committee's priority topics was developing financing mechanisms using intellectual property as collateral. Despite initial successful cases, participants noted systemic limitations, including the lack of unified valuation methodologies, high cost of credit resources, and risks for the state as a guarantor. They proposed focusing on amending the regulatory framework and developing economic models for using intellectual property as collateral assets. Legislative Reforms According to Dmitry Mitroshin, AIRR's head of regional direction, changes to several public procurement laws will create conditions where state-owned companies, natural monopolies, and other state-involved organizations can select not the cheapest, but the most effective and innovative offers, generating guaranteed demand for innovative products. "It is necessary to create conditions so that state-owned companies, natural monopolies, and other state-involved organizations can choose not the cheapest, but the best or most innovative offer. Moreover, innovation is a process, not always a finished product. For this, the main procurement decision criterion should be not low price, but the total life-cycle cost or the aggregate effect of the innovation. Alongside pilot implementations, relevant proposals for changes to regulation documents must be prepared," noted Dmitry Mitroshin. He also emphasized that the issue of guaranteed demand for innovations remains acute: according to him, a manufacturer investing in development often cannot even get a letter of interest from a potential state customer, as it may violate antitrust laws. Russian regions have accumulated significant experience in intellectual property management, but the next stage requires shifting from quantitative indicators to qualitative ones—economic returns, commercialization, and integration of intellectual property into the real sector. The developed proposals and practices will form the basis of the Committee's final resolution and will contribute to developing a unified national model for intellectual property management. [~DETAIL_TEXT] => On April 16, 2026, the Intellectual Property Committee of the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR) held a meeting in St. Petersburg, bringing together representatives from government bodies, the scientific community, development institutions, and technology businesses. The event was traditionally held as part of the International Forum "Intellectual Property for the Future." On the eve of the meeting, a strategic session titled "Supporting Inventive Activity at the Regional Level" took place, organized by AIR jointly with the Intellectual Property Development Fund (St. Petersburg). The proposals developed at the end of the session formed the basis for discussion at the Committee meeting. Current Challenges Participants believe that despite the growth in patent activity and infrastructure development, the current intellectual property management system does not yet deliver the expected economic impact. Regional practices show positive dynamics in the number of patent applications, but one of the key problems remains the lack of transparent mechanisms for assessing the value of intellectual rights and involving them in economic turnover. Regional Leaders' Views "Developing effective tools to support inventors and growing the intellectual property market are key tasks for stimulating regional innovative growth. The talented young generation of our region plays a special role in this process, actively participating in creating new inventions and conducting research," noted Denis Sinyavsky, Deputy Governor of Vladimir Region (an AIRR member region). "Yugra is a self-sufficient entity with powerful oil and gas production and a strong university base, where issues of innovation, technology, and intellectual property rights are increasingly entering the orbit of interests and values. Our priority today is to build a system that fosters a culture and genuine interest in inventiveness among people. We want it to become trendy and organically integrated into life trajectories—from school desks to professional realization. I am confident that the 'Young Inventor of Yugra' contest, intensives for youth and students, as well as expanded support for citizens and entrepreneurs, will definitely bear fruit," commented Igor Anfalog, Director of the Yugra Technopark (from an AIRR member region). Best Regional Practices AIRR participants showcased experiences from Kaluga, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod, Tomsk regions, the Republic of Mordovia, and KhMAO—Yugra.

If we go back five years, both the number of deals and the level of risk were higher, and there were more players. Now, unfortunately, the venture market has become quite small. The fact that venture investors are turning to such a broad regional funnel shows that projects are in demand. There is money in the country, and there are tools to implement and support projects at nearly every stage. What we lack are projects. That is why we are now expanding this funnel as much as possible and actively involving the regions.” On the regional funnel and access to financing “When talking with representatives of venture investors, we noticed that most activities are concentrated in the country’s center — in Moscow. Consequently, startups located in Moscow have the primary access to resources. The funnel of regional projects used to be very limited. To make this funnel more relevant for venture companies and more effective for regional startups, together with the Syndicate Club, we created an instrument to improve the preparation and presentation of funding applications.” On launching a training program for venture analysts “We decided to develop a proprietary practice-oriented training program for venture analysts who would be authorized by investors to conduct preliminary project screening. This represents an intermediary stage — a bridge between startup founders and venture financial investors. We aim to train specialists capable of assessing markets and reviewing projects from AIRR regions from multiple angles before presenting them to investors. Surprisingly, there were no such experts before.” On training outcomes and analyst performance “We have trained 25 of these specialists and built a network that connects them. As later practice showed, these analysts effectively evaluate not only projects from their own regions but also from other regions. To date, we have already selected the main projects that are most prepared for financing.” On the first investment committee and prospects for success “Today we’re holding the first in-person committee meeting. Encouragingly, there are more representatives of venture investors than projects. Therefore, we believe the chances of securing funding are quite high. We hope that today this mechanism will help attract investment to regional companies developing at universities and within local innovation infrastructures — allowing them to stay in their regions, secure funding, and move forward with implementation.” [~DETAIL_TEXT] => At the RVF-2026 venue (Russia’s Venture Forum), Alexander Smekalin spoke with TASS press center journalist Andrey Zhurankov.

The regime was established by the Russian Government. Five more Arctic regions are also participating in the testing: Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Karelia, and Komi. The experimental regime initiator and operator of the test site is "Atomflot" (part of Rosatom state corporation). The experiment's goal is to test an ice reconnaissance complex based on a deck-launched unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). These complexes use radar, optoelectronic, and other technical means to provide real-time information on ice conditions for safe navigation along the Northern Sea Route. "Working with the initiators, we have developed a unique testing program. Using unmanned technologies in remote areas and harsh climates will yield effective use cases, which will later support the implementation of the 'Unmanned Aerial Systems' national project in solutions for northern territories' development," commented Maxim Kolesnikov, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia. "Arkhangelsk Oblast is one of the key regions in this experiment. For us, it offers a chance to strengthen Pomorye's role in Northern Sea Route development, enhance navigation safety and predictability, and lay the groundwork for new logistics solutions and tech projects in the Arctic," said Alexander Tsybulsky, Governor of Arkhangelsk Region. Russia's Ministry of Economic Development, which oversees the experimental regime for unmanned aerial systems, explains that UAV flights will be controlled by an external pilot. The operator's workstation will receive live feeds of visible and infrared imagery, along with radar images of the required NSR waterway sections, geolocated. The complexes deliver high-quality radar images in the Arctic's severe weather and during fall-winter navigation. The experimental regime also plans air cargo delivery and aerial works. Over the three-year experiment, the program targets at least 600 flights and ice reconnaissance of 6,000 sq km of Northern Sea Route waters. Effective Arctic development is impossible without modern unmanned technologies, says Vladimir Voloshin, Director of the Digital Development and Data Economy Department at Russia's Ministry of Economic Development. Even an icebreaking nuclear-powered vessel needs a small drone: extra navigation data from the drone significantly boosts efficiency on a nearly 6,000 km route. In the long term, this will reduce incident risks in complex international shipping scenarios and improve safety. "A total of 12 experiments on unmanned aviation systems testing are underway, with one completed in 2025. Over 170 companies and individual entrepreneurs are involved, logging more than 140,000 UAV flights under experimental regimes and processing over 350,000 hectares of farmland. The Ministry is also expanding certain regimes to the Far East per the Russian President's instructions," Voloshin explained.

The meeting was attended by State Council Secretary Alexey Dyumin and Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev. The participants discussed technological sovereignty in the energy sector and the development of domestic power engineering. Lipetsk Region Governor Igor Artamonov showed Russian Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut the introduction of innovative solutions in the region’s agro-industrial sector, including biotechnology, digitalization, precision farming, unmanned systems, and the training of highly skilled personnel. Using Yelets State University as an example, they demonstrated the linkage between school, college, university, and enterprise. Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov and Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak discussed the implementation of measures to improve labor productivity in the economy, industry, and energy sector. He also described how cooperation between business and science is organized in the region: enterprises formulate their technology needs, research centers and universities find solutions, and the results are brought into production. Novosibirsk Region The region is addressing staffing needs by supporting young specialists at enterprises. Governor Andrey Travnikov visited one of the region’s most high-tech companies, the “Ekran FEP” plant, where unique technologies from optics, chemistry, and electronics are used. The company actively cooperates with Novosibirsk research institutes and universities. Novosibirsk State Technical University became one of two winners of a federal competition to establish regional centers for scientific and technological development in machine-tool engineering. The university will receive a grant of 9 million rubles. Kaluga Region For the first time, the region has developed a seven-year forecast of workforce demand based on a survey of around 2,600 employers, taking labor productivity growth into account. According to Governor Vladislav Shapsha, nearly 60 percent of the demand is for blue-collar occupations. The number of state-funded places in technical schools and colleges will be increased, and new in-demand training programs will be introduced. Republic of Mordovia The region became the national leader in the number of certified industrial tourism sites in Russia for the first time. Four sites — “Biokhimik,” the winery “Kemlya Distillery,” Ogarev Mordovia State University, and the tourism company “Edge of the Earth. Tourism” — received certification from Roskachestvo, as reported by Head of the Republic Artem Zdunov.

The central theme focused on advanced technological solutions that ensure the country’s digital and industrial sovereignty. In his address, Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin emphasized that the Ministry is currently focused on eliminating infrastructure bottlenecks and creating so-called digital seamlessness. A key tool in achieving this goal is the national digital transport and logistics platform “GosLog.” Its implementation is expected to dramatically accelerate border-crossing procedures: the time for freight transport to pass through checkpoints is planned to be reduced to ten minutes through a complete transition to electronic documentation and intelligent algorithms. The topic of high-speed railways (HSR) attracted particular attention at the forum. Andrey Nikitin described the HSR project as one of the largest scientific and technological initiatives in modern Russia, comparing it to a vast iceberg. Behind its visible part — a cutting-edge domestic high-speed train — lies extensive cooperation among more than 150 enterprises from 36 regions and a major restructuring of the education system. The Moscow–St. Petersburg HSR project marks a fundamentally new level of technological maturity for the Russian economy. According to experts, operating the first line alone will require around 8,000 highly qualified specialists, while the entire network of five HSR lines will eventually employ more than 100,000 people. In response to this challenge, a new academic discipline — “High-Speed Transport Engineer” — has already been approved, with training now underway at the “HSR Academy” within the Russian University of Transport. Issues of scientific and human resource support for the industry were further elaborated by Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov. He reported that since 2023, about 700 research projects have been carried out under the Priority-2030 program, covering the full spectrum of transport technologies — from unmanned systems to advanced structural materials. According to the minister, this synergy between science, education, and the real sector allows Russia not only to achieve complete technological sovereignty in high-speed transport but also to develop competencies ready for export to international partners. Unmanned technologies, already being tested on Russian highways, were another highlight of the forum. Driverless trucks are now operating on the M-11 “Neva” and the Central Ring Road, and are expected to enter the M-12 “Vostok” route in 2026. The results are impressive: travel time between St. Petersburg and Kazan has been reduced from 58 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, Russian Railways presented a model for unmanned freight operations on the Eastern range, where the driver supervises the system from a control panel rather than directly operating the train. The main takeaway from the forum is clear — logistics has finally ceased to be merely a support function. Today, it is a genuine driver of economic growth, built on reliability, digital transparency, and a sovereign technological foundation.

The topic of high-speed railways (HSR) attracted particular attention at the forum. Andrey Nikitin described the HSR project as one of the largest scientific and technological initiatives in modern Russia, comparing it to a vast iceberg. Behind its visible part — a cutting-edge domestic high-speed train — lies extensive cooperation among more than 150 enterprises from 36 regions and a major restructuring of the education system. The Moscow–St. Petersburg HSR project marks a fundamentally new level of technological maturity for the Russian economy. According to experts, operating the first line alone will require around 8,000 highly qualified specialists, while the entire network of five HSR lines will eventually employ more than 100,000 people. In response to this challenge, a new academic discipline — “High-Speed Transport Engineer” — has already been approved, with training now underway at the “HSR Academy” within the Russian University of Transport. Issues of scientific and human resource support for the industry were further elaborated by Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov. He reported that since 2023, about 700 research projects have been carried out under the Priority-2030 program, covering the full spectrum of transport technologies — from unmanned systems to advanced structural materials. According to the minister, this synergy between science, education, and the real sector allows Russia not only to achieve complete technological sovereignty in high-speed transport but also to develop competencies ready for export to international partners. Unmanned technologies, already being tested on Russian highways, were another highlight of the forum. Driverless trucks are now operating on the M-11 “Neva” and the Central Ring Road, and are expected to enter the M-12 “Vostok” route in 2026. The results are impressive: travel time between St. Petersburg and Kazan has been reduced from 58 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, Russian Railways presented a model for unmanned freight operations on the Eastern range, where the driver supervises the system from a control panel rather than directly operating the train. The main takeaway from the forum is clear — logistics has finally ceased to be merely a support function. Today, it is a genuine driver of economic growth, built on reliability, digital transparency, and a sovereign technological foundation.

The First International Transport and Logistics Forum, held in St. Petersburg from April 1 to 3, 2026, became more than just an industry discussion platform — it showcased the emergence of a new technological era in Russia’s transport system. The central theme focused on advanced technological solutions that ensure the country’s digital and industrial sovereignty.

Governor Alexander Tsybulsky signed a cooperation agreement between the region, St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University (SPbGMTU) and Northern (Arctic) Federal University (SAFU). The document is aimed at developing a scientific and educational cluster in Severodvinsk, including the establishment of a science and production center for USC enterprises and ship repair yards. Tyumen Region Young scientists from Tyumen State University created an AI-based flood assistant — an information service for residents during emergencies. It includes a Telegram bot, a web chat bot, and a mobile application with an offline mode. The assistant answers questions about water levels, determines geolocation, and builds routes to temporary accommodation centers; the service is planned to be scaled to other Russian regions. Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov said that the region continues to develop the air hub at Krasnoyarsk International Airport and personally inspected the completed overhaul of the hangar complex for aircraft maintenance before it is put into operation. Samara Region Scientists at Togliatti State University (TSU) proposed a method for measuring machine part wear during operation using acoustic diagnostics. The development will allow timely repairs and reduce downtime costs. It increases the probability of detecting dangerous wear of parts by 45% compared to existing solutions. Tomsk Region Scientists at Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have found a safer way to diagnose cancer using radiopharmaceuticals. They improved the targeted proteins for cancer diagnostics (DARPin). The new drug accumulates less in healthy tissues.
