Preparing a leap in technological advancement, the Krasnoyarsk region is readying itself.
In the heart of Siberia, the Krasnoyarsk region has kicked off the selection of brand-new projects for its scientific-technological development program, aiming for 2030. Four newly formed expert groups, consisting of top industrial leaders, Russian Academy of Sciences scientists, and university bigwigs from Krasnoyarsk, will spearhead this endeavor.
As per governor Mikhail Kotykov's mandate, who serves as the chairman of the commission of the State Council on Technological Leadership, the Krasnoyarsk regional scientific-technological development program will work hand-in-hand with industry professionals and the academic community to ensure practical application.
According to the approved plan announced in December 2024, the region aims to develop four strategic areas of technological leadership: production and automation, new materials and chemistry, industrial support for transportation mobility, and new energy technologies.
Approximately 40 scientific research, production, and experimental-design initiatives are already in action.
Notable examples include digitalization in mining and machinery industries, studies on rare-earth metals, production of rechargeable batteries, development of rotor-controlled drilling systems, modern waste disposal methods, and research in the field of molecular engineering and biomedicine.
These expert groups will scrutinize the scientific validity and financial viability of the new projects while ensuring they meet the needs of the regional economy, thereby identifying the most effective proposals.
Minister of Industry and Trade for the region, Maxim Yermakov, commented, "We will continue collaborating with businesses to determine development plans and monitor ongoing programs. Projects that align with the criteria of the scientific-technological development program may receive support at both regional and federal levels."
As a reminder, Krasnoyarsk region was among the 20 pilot regions that were expected to create their scientific-technological development programs. By 2030, investments in research and development are projected to make up 2% of the regional GDP, and the workforce in high-tech sectors is expected to increase by 25%.
