First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov chaired the first meeting of the Government Commission on Industry.
The event was attended by commission members: Anton Alikhanov, Minister of Industry and Trade; Oksana Lut, Minister of Agriculture; Mikhail Murashko, Ministry of Health; Andrey Nikitin, Ministry of Transport; Maxim Reshetnikov, Ministry of Economic Development; Maksut Shadayev, Ministry of Digital Development; and Vladimir Gutenyov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Industry and Trade. The commission was created to ensure coordinated efforts among federal ministries to achieve technological leadership.
"The new collegial body will retain some of the functions of the Government Commission on Import Substitution. Overall, it has completed the first wave of localization of the most in-demand industrial products. Since 2015, more than 2,000 significant projects have been implemented. And now, in addition to launching new finished products, companies are mastering the mass production of raw materials, components, and components. They are also focusing on the development and implementation of critical technologies," said Denis Manturov.
In this area, the key areas of work are defined by the federal law "On Technological Policy." One of the commission's priorities is to align technological policy with strategic approaches to industrial development. As the First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized, all industrial projects must incorporate cutting-edge innovations, meet the high demands of consumer sectors, and thereby contribute to achieving technological leadership.
"To consolidate systemic support mechanisms around this comprehensive national development goal, the commission must select priority investment projects. For each project, it must formulate a specific need for engineering products, connect customers with potential contractors. And in certain cases, where we haven't yet developed the necessary expertise, it must coordinate the purchase of foreign-made products," stated Denis Manturov.
Participants discussed the commission's structure, main goals, and objectives. The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, despite the strategic nature of the new platform's issues, it is essential to continue working on current tasks and to focus on identifying risks in the implementation of national technological leadership projects.
"In implementing national technological leadership projects, we will focus primarily on intersectoral and interdepartmental coordination and removing barriers to their implementation. At the same time, we will collaborate with our colleagues to determine the contribution of industries and individual companies to achieving these objectives," noted Anton Alikhanov.
