2024: Opening of a technopark in Togliatti

In September 2024, a new technopark was opened in Togliatti, created on the basis of the Advanced Engineering School of Togliatti State University (TSU). This research center will become a key platform for the development and implementation of computer-aided design (CAD) systems technologies. The project was implemented with the support of AvtoVAZ and became possible thanks to the close cooperation of the university with a leading automaker, which allowed TSU to win the federal competition "Advanced Engineering Schools" in 2023.

According to Kommersant, the technopark includes five educational and research spaces, including an engineering center for high-tech industries, a regional authorized CAD training center, as well as laboratories of ultrasonic, laser technologies, mechatronics and automated production systems. These resources will create unique opportunities for students to learn and work, who will be able to develop innovative products in close collaboration with large enterprises.

The Governor of the Samara Region Vyacheslav Fedorishchev noted that the technopark will become an important element in the strategy of socio-economic development of the region, contributing to the integration of science, education and production. He emphasized the importance of cooperation between the university and AvtoVAZ, which allows not only to train highly qualified personnel, but also to create new technologies in demand in various industries, including automotive, medicine, aviation and astronautics.

One of the key areas of work of the technopark will be the development of new magnesium alloys and technologies for their processing. These innovations will be used to create light structural materials that can significantly reduce the weight of products in mechanical engineering and other high-tech industries. Among the first projects of the technopark is the production of bioresorbable implants from magnesium alloys, which will be used in medicine for accelerated rehabilitation after injuries.^[1]
