The Deputy Prime Minister thanked SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy for the award and the trust he placed in him, and noted SPbPU's role in training engineering personnel for the domestic transport industry.

"The issue of national technological sovereignty is a pressing issue today. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is actively involved in a number of transport projects. I would especially like to highlight the expertise of SPbPU specialists in developing electric transport models and digital twin technologies for railway rolling stock components.
