The concept of technological development of Russia until 2030

• Technological sovereignty of Russia
• Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation
• National Development Goals of Russia

2024: Mishustin listed 3 priorities for the technological development of Russia

On February 2, 2024, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, speaking at the international IT forum in Alma-Ata, listed three main priorities for the development of information technologies in Russia. Words of the Russian Prime Minister are cited by the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers. According to Mishustin, Russia has focused on the following areas:

• launch of large mega-projects of technological sovereignty;
• strengthening the training of engineering teams;
• introduction of digital technologies.

As the head of the Cabinet noted, the implementation of megaprojects will increase the production of priority products in a number of areas - from machine tools and the manufacture of aviation equipment to the electronic industry and pharmaceuticals. To provide the IT industry with domestic industrial and system-wide software, the efforts of customers, developers and authorities within the framework of special competence centers were coordinated, Mishustin added. In turn, in order to improve the quality of training of specialists, as noted by the Prime Minister, a network of world-class campuses is developing in the Russian Federation.

Now there are 17 of them. In total, on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin, by 2030 there should be 25. They will have comfortable conditions and ample opportunities for obtaining a profession and conducting research. Technological teams of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union can also be trained at such sites, the chairman of the Russian government added.

During his speech, Mikhail Mishustin also touched upon the topic of artificial intelligence. According to him, the economic effect of the use of these technologies in Russia has already exceeded 1 trillion rubles, and by 2030 the figure may amount to 10 trillion rubles, which added about 6% to Russia's GDP. Mishustin also said that the capabilities of neural networks of Russian developers practically do not differ from Western ones.^[1]

The concept of technological development of Russia until 2030 included 3 trillion rubles

The concept of technological development of Russia until 2030 included 3 trillion rubles. This became known at the end of May 2023.

As Kommersant writes with reference to the document approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, about 55% of funding for the mechanisms of the concept will fall on the budget of the Russian Federation, 45% - on private funds. By 2030, the volume of investments in the initiative should grow by one and a half times with a decrease in the budget share to 45%, the newspaper notes.

In the concept of technological development of Russia laid 3 trillion rubles

The concept is aimed at achieving "technological sovereignty" and contains three consolidated goals: by 2030 to ensure national control over the reproduction of priority technologies, innovative economic growth and sustainable development of production systems. In practice, this should lead to the creation of its own lines of technology development, the growth of innovative activity of companies and the emergence of domestic high-tech goods and services on the market.

In connection with the sanctions, the previous model of reproduction of technological innovations - based on machine-building imports and technology imports - ceased to be relevant. In fact, for the first time in 25 years, starting from the 2000s, we have an independent subject of technological policy, - said First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov.

Experts supported the approval of the concept of technological development of Russia until 2030. The Director General of the Sergei Polyakov Innovation Assistance Fund says that this comprehensive document intertwines all the areas developed and implemented in the country for the development of science, human resources, and creating favorable conditions for business growth.

About 55% of funding for the mechanisms of the concept will fall on the budget of the Russian Federation, 45% - on private funds

The concept also reflected initiatives important for the grantees of our fund - small innovative companies: the assessment of intellectual property will no longer be a problem, and lending will become more affordable for startups that have only their own intellectual works in their assets, "he said.

Mikhail Fedorov, independent director and consultant, founder of the КачествоРешений.рф project, expert of the Center for Strategic Research (CSR), believes that the anchor customer of such projects should be the state (including state corporations), which will require the aforementioned high-quality project approach to their implementation.

The participants will definitely be a mixture of private and public companies. All this together may well give a strong impetus to the country to achieve technological sovereignty, he concluded.

According to Igor Drozdov, Chairman of the Board of the Skolkovo Foundation, the adoption of the Concept will help accelerate the development of additional measures to support small technology companies, including those aimed at stimulating demand for their products from large customers. The first deputy chairman of the board of Sberbank, Alexander Vedyakhin, notes that the approval of the concept is an important stage in the formation of state technological policy, which creates the foundation for the accelerated introduction of scientific results into business activities and into the daily life of the population.

According to Kirill Varlamov, director of the Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF), the Concept recognizes the dysfunctional state of the national innovation system. The document contains "diagnoses" and "methods of treatment," which are recognized and proposed for the first time in documents of this level.

In itself, the correct awareness of the country's situation gives hope for mobilizing efforts to build effective processes of scientific, technical and innovative and technological development, he says.[2]

Mishustin approved a list of megaprojects for the production of priority high-tech products

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin approved a list of megaprojects aimed at the development and production of priority high-tech products. Megaprojects are one of the most important mechanisms for technological development and the achievement of sovereignty in this area, determined by the Concept of Technological Development approved by the Government of the Russian Federation until 2030, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers reported on May 25, 2023.

The list includes projects related to the localization in Russia of the production of the necessary drugs, medical devices and equipment, with the establishment of the production of critical chemical products, priority machine tools, electronic and radio electronic products, ships and ship equipment, aircraft, medium and high-speed diesel engines and products based on them, with the development of unmanned aircraft systems and the production of liquefied natural gas based on domestic equipment.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin

It is planned to implement megaprojects at the expense of budgetary and extra-budgetary investments. Responsible federal ministries are assigned to each of them. The general coordination of work will be carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the curators from the government will be specialized deputy prime ministers.

The Cabinet added that the launch of new and the implementation of existing projects, adjusted for the emerging challenges, will ensure the production of a specific line of deeply localized high-tech products and the necessary components and components, as well as the formation of a long-term order for the development and implementation of critical technologies, will give impetus to the further development of a number of important industries and will contribute to the achievement of one of the key goals set by the president - to strengthen the country's technological sovereignty.^[3]

Mishustin approved the concept of technological development of Russia until 2030

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving the concept of technological development of Russia until 2030. The press service of the Cabinet of Ministers announced this on May 25, 2023.

Among the goals set out in the document are:

• achievement of technological sovereignty the presence in the country (under national control) of critical and end-to-end technologies of their own developments;
• transition to innovation-oriented economic growth;
• technological support of sustainable development of production systems.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin

Work in these technological areas is already underway, First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov said on May 25, 2023, under whose leadership the concept was developed. He stressed that due to the sanctions, the previous model of reproduction of technological innovations - based on machine-building imports and imports of technologies - ceased to be relevant.

The President emphasized the need to significantly increase the capabilities of the Russian economy, stimulate the opening of new industries and the creation of new workplaces. On behalf of the head of state, the Concept of Technological Development until 2030 was prepared, Mishustin said, opening the government meeting on May 25, 2023.

According to him, work on the document was carried out at strategic sessions. Expert and business associations, the largest enterprises, scientific centers, representatives of the regions, members of the government, as well as heads of state-owned companies and state corporations took part in the creation of the document.

According to the document, by the end of the third decade of the 21st century, Russia should have its own scientific, personnel and technological base of critical and end-to-end technologies. It is assumed that the country will create conditions for high-intensity innovative activity of corporations and entrepreneurs who will work in a comfortable regulatory environment. In addition, by 2030, the national economy should ensure the production of high-tech products - chips and other microelectronics, precision machines and robotics, aerospace technology, drones, drugs and medical equipment, telecommunications technology and software. At the same time, the share of such domestic goods in the total consumption should be at least 75%.

Each of the goals of the concept has indicators that allow you to judge its achievement. Thus, to ensure technological sovereignty, it is necessary to achieve an increase in domestic research and development costs by at least 45%. To move to innovation-oriented economic growth, the level of innovation activity in industry and other areas should increase 2.3 times, and the cost of these goals should increase 1.5 times. Also, by 2030, the volume of innovative goods, works and services should increase 1.9 times, and the number of patent applications - 2.4 times. For the sustainable functioning and development of production systems, it is necessary that the number of manufacturing enterprises using technological innovations increase 1.6 times.

By the end of the third decade of the 21st century, Russia should have its own scientific, personnel and technological base of critical and end-to-end technologies

For each goal, the main mechanisms for achieving it are also determined. This is the formation of end-to-end technological priorities for science, education and for the sectors of the economy, this is focusing on our own lines of technology development, key components and components, this is a reliance on new organizational forms of interaction between science, education and business, this is the development of the infrastructure for the transfer of technologies to the economy and personnel support.
