The mission of the Mayor and the Government of Moscow is to make the capital the best city on the planet. Sergei SobyaninHe stated during a plenary session held as part of the Moscow Startup Summit, an international summit on technological entrepreneurship and innovation.
According to him, it's necessary to constantly raise the bar, setting new challenges that gradually increase in complexity. And the more the city develops, the greater the demands of its residents, which also provides additional incentive for work.
"There is no final goal. It's movement. If you've set some final goal for yourself, consider yourself already dead. Because a final goal is still a limit to something. But the world moves forward without any final goal. Every goal presupposes setting a new goal, more ambitious, more dynamic, and more complex. So, essentially, it's movement, movement, movement. And never a stop," Sergei Sobyanin emphasized.
To develop various sectors, including education, it is necessary to create a comfortable environment. This will motivate teachers and students to achieve high results.
"I understood that we needed to move forward, to create an environment in schools, to motivate teachers so that they, together with students, could achieve maximum results. Moscow is now among the top five schools in the world. This is how we need to move forward, to create the environment, the infrastructure, and the motivation," Sergei Sobyanin noted.
According to Sberbank President and Chairman of the Management Board Herman Gref, Moscow today offers unique living conditions. These include, first and foremost, a comfortable urban environment, the development of the Moscow metro, and the overall transportation infrastructure.
"The number of crossings, bridges, new transport interchanges, and so on that appear every year is absolutely incredible, unimaginable. Improved parks. Ultimately, all of this is about creating better living conditions for young people, including those who should remain in their own country, and creating unique conditions for startups," said Herman Gref.
Moscow also has all the conditions for the growth of high-tech industrial enterprises. Sergei Sobyanin added that entrepreneurs and businesses are actively returning to Moscow due to its highly qualified and motivated workforce, which is difficult to find in other regions.
"Regarding Moscow's new industrialization, it's proceeding precisely according to these principles: we're trying to support high-tech manufacturing, and entrepreneurs and businesses are eager to return to Moscow. Besides the infrastructure, which is crucial, and the affordable land, among other things, the most important thing is the current workforce. These are highly specialized, highly qualified, and motivated people. And such people are harder to find in other regions than in Moscow. Therefore, a large number of companies that had long since left Moscow are now returning, and they're returning at a different technological level," the Moscow Mayor said.
To attract young professionals to live and work in the capital, it's crucial to create a comfortable, well-maintained living environment. This includes various infrastructure, such as those for recreation and sports. Work to develop and improve this infrastructure is currently underway in Moscow.
"To keep people in the city, to attract them, you need to create an environment in which they live. If they don't like the environment, you can build 40 factories, but there will be no one there, nothing will work. You can build a wonderful technology park in the city, but there will be no one there. The city is the environment," Sergei Sobyanin emphasized.
By creating a comfortable environment and new jobs, the capital is actively investing in improving its industrial sector. The focus is on import-substituting technologies, the development of which facilitates the growth of a number of related industries.
"We need a technological foundation for our country, high technology, independent technology, which constitutes a significant foundation and strength for the city and our country," the Moscow Mayor noted.
According to Herman Gref, in the next 10 years, at least general artificial intelligence, and possibly even superintelligence, will emerge, which will effectively solve a vast number of humanity's unsolvable problems. This will pose a new global challenge, as people will have to figure out how to coexist with and manage it. Furthermore, a vast number of new opportunities will emerge for the creation of fundamentally new technologies, materials, and vehicles.
