On October 1, 2025, the Lomonosov cluster hosted the 3rd International Forum of Digital Technologies in Transport and Logistics, "Digital Transportation 2025," which was attended by GUU employees.
The forum's business program was structured around key areas aimed at ensuring Russia's digital sovereignty: developing Russia's own advanced solutions, implementing digital technologies in the transport sector and regional development, supporting domestic companies, and strengthening the national economy's position in the global market. Representatives of government, science, and business gathered to engage in an honest and open dialogue about the results and prospects of transport transformation. SUM represented the forum by representatives of the Department of Transport Complex Management: Associate Professor Artem Merenkov and Assistant Professor Dmitry Rogov, Director of the SUM Business Incubator.
The central event of the day was the plenary session "Russia's Digital Path: Shaping the Industry's Future," opened by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and his Deputy, Vitaly Savelyev. The panelists highlighted key trends in the digital transformation of our country's transport industry, which are essential for achieving sustainable leadership in the new reality. Participants included Russian Transport Minister and GUU graduate Andrey Nikitin, Minister of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev, Aeroflot CEO Sergey Aleksandrovsky, Russian Railways CEO and Chairman of the Management Board Oleg Belozerov, 1C Director Boris Nuraliyev, Yandex.Taxi CEO Alexander Anikin, Monopoly Group Chairman of the Board of Directors Ilya Dmitriev, and SKB Kontur Group CEO Mikhail Srodnykh. The session was moderated by Polina Davydova, Director of the Digital Transport and Logistics Association, and Russian actor, showman, and TV presenter Dmitry Khrustalev.
"Digital Transportation is a unique platform where we can consolidate the efforts of the government, business, and the scientific community to create a modern, safe, and efficient transportation system in Russia. Today, more than ever, it is important to pool our resources and expertise to implement cutting-edge technologies that will not only enhance the industry's competitiveness but also improve the quality of life for citizens," said Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin in his speech.
Maksut Shadayev, Head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media, in turn, emphasized the importance of transitioning to Russian digital solutions and implementing unmanned systems throughout the country. According to the minister, one of the key achievements was the introduction of mandatory electronic document management on September 1, which will significantly simplify and speed up logistics operations at all levels. "This is a fundamental step; we couldn't decide on it for a long time, but it's simply burning bridges and a one-way street. Technologically, we are ready for it," Maksut Shadayev concluded.
The forum also featured a meeting of the State Council of Russia's Commission on "Efficient Transport System," dedicated to digitalization. The discussion focused on intelligent transport systems, the experience of implementing digital solutions in the regions, and the mandatory nature of electronic document management in transport.
Another key event of the Digital Transportation Forum was a practical discussion dedicated to the development of human resources in the transport industry. Leading experts discussed the specialists needed in digital transport today, which is especially important for overcoming the technological challenges facing our country.
