The key task of 2050.LAB is to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of domestic industry products in the Russian and international markets, which corresponds to the state import substitution program, in particular, in the field of industrial design and prototyping of high complexity.

2050.LAB forms the global ecosystem of the brand: from industrial design of objects to design of business culture, environment, thinking.

The main areas of activity of the company: industrial design and prototyping of rolling stock, search, experimental application and introduction of innovative materials into production, adaptation to GOST requirements and industrial introduction of brand-DNA, retraining and advanced training of designers and designers at production sites, bionic design and additive technologies, generative design, Digital technologies and IoT in interior and exterior design, etc.

Strategic partners 2050.LAB: TMX, LokTech, Crl2Go Group, NITU "MISiS," Autodesk.

History

2021: Obtaining a license for educational activities

On August 2, 2021, the National Center for Industrial Design and Innovation 2050.LAB announced that it had received a license to conduct educational activities and began regular work in this direction.

Having experience in developing and launching the master's program "Industrial Design and Engineering" for NITU MISiS, 2050.LAB continues to form the agenda of design education.

The work of the educational block will be generally built in three areas:

• additional professional programs aimed at improving the skills in the field of industrial design. Specialists in their industry will talk about design-thinking techniques, innovations in the world of materials, innovative approaches in the field of design and on the basis of practical tasks pump the knowledge gained. Course participants will have the opportunity to visit the design studio 2050.LAB and become part of the production process.
• additional general education programs are aimed at a wide audience and are devoted to such popular topics as automotive , VR/AR in design, as well as cross-disciplinary projects that allow listeners to significantly expand the horizon of understanding the essence of the creative process in creative industries. Courses will be interesting to those who want to learn more about how design changes the world for the better.
• preparation for admission to the master's program "Industrial Design and Engineering" for NITU MISiS.

Agreement with RUTH MIIT to create a technopark

Agreement with NITU "MISiS"

On January 22, 2020, the presentation of the National Center for Industrial Design and Innovation "2050.LAB" (2050.LAB) took place at NITU "MISiS." The event was attended by Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, General Director of Transmashholding JSC (TMH) Lipa Kirill, General Director of 2050.LAB Daria Topilskaya, Rector of NITU MISiS Alevtina Chernikova.

Within the framework of the presentation, a cooperation agreement was signed between 2050.LAB and NITU "MISiS" on the implementation of development work for enterprises transport-machine-building the complex of the Russian Federation. The document implies joint engineering work on the creation of innovative products, including transport engineering, examination of technical solutions and research, etc.

2050.LAB will implement projects designed to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of domestic products in the Russian and international markets, as well as development work for enterprises of the transport and engineering complex of the Russian Federation.

The production facilities of 2050.LAB are located on a universal modern high-tech site - the Engineering Center for Prototyping of High Complexity of NITU MISiS.

Designers, engineers, designers and technologists of 2050.LAB, who have extensive experience in the leading industrial design bureaus of Russia and Europe, are faced with the task of integrating modern world trends in industrial design into the real practice of Russian industry.

Employees of the Center will be engaged in developments in the field of industrial design of industrial products and objects, as well as prototyping of high complexity. The laboratory will search, pilot application and introduction of innovative materials into production, adaptation of developments to the requirements of existing industry standards. Also, 2050.LAB specialists will carry out retraining and advanced training of designers and designers at production sites of partner companies.

"Millions of people interact with the products of transport engineering every day - passengers, transport workers and simply citizens living near the transport arteries," said Kirill Lipa, general director of Transmashholding JSC. - "We believe it is very important that modern rail equipment is not only comfortable and cost-effective, but also recognizable, while meeting the highest aesthetic standards." According to the head of the holding, the national design center will be involved in the development and implementation of a new DNA brand TMX - a set of recognizable features that unite all products produced by the company. Kirill Lipa expressed hope that the high qualification of industrial designers and the latest equipment of the center will allow creating extraordinary and high-tech solutions.

2019: 2050.LAB and Autodesk plan to create a Competence Center

On October 3, 2019, the National Center for Industrial Design and Innovation 2050.LAB and Autodesk announced the creation of the Center for Competencies. The document was signed by the general director of 2050.LAB Daria Topilskaya and the general director of Autodesk in Russia and SNGMorozova Anastasia.

The companies agreed to cooperate in the development and implementation of innovations in the field of industrial design, the preparation of industry standards and local regulations. It is planned that the Competence Center will be formed on the basis of "2050.LAB."

In addition, Autodesk will participate in the creation of a certified training center for third-party employees in 2050.LAB.

At the same time, Laboratory.2050 will act as a reference user of Autodesk products and demonstrate the best practices to Russian and international customers.
