Denis Manturov spoke at a session dedicated to the national goal of "Technological Leadership" as part of a series of thematic meetings "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects."
First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the National Center "Russia" and spoke at a session dedicated to the national goal "Technological Leadership" as part of a series of thematic meetings "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects."
"I am pleased to welcome you to this wonderful platform, which today is dedicated to discussing the most important goal of national development. The Presidential Decree defines it as 'technological leadership.' I hope that my colleagues will be able to develop this concept through specific projects and provide a concrete understanding of how Russia will achieve superiority in global markets," Denis Manturov addressed the guests and participants.
He emphasized that achieving this ambitious goal is focused on nine national projects designed to strengthen more than 15 industries and initiate a profound transformation of key economic sectors. This particularly concerns the transportation sector, for which a line of new, all-Russian civilian aircraft is being developed within an extremely short timeframe.
"In turn, the shipbuilding industry is working to modernize the watercraft fleet. Today, we are the undisputed leader in the nuclear icebreaker segment, have expanded our position in electric passenger ships, have successfully entered the cruise liner niche, and are among the first to introduce autonomous navigation technologies," continued the First Deputy Prime Minister.
Denis Manturov noted that the trend toward autonomy is also relevant for railways, but the main breakthrough will be the creation of an electric train capable of traveling at speeds of up to 400 km/h by 2028. He also called the chemical complex, where hundreds of technologies have been implemented, equally important.
"The national project aims to ensure domestic production of over 700 critically important chemical products. This will close the production chain, eliminating reliance on imported substances. Composites are also a focus. The industry is focusing on materials that combine carbon fibers with polymers, ceramics, and metals," he said.
According to Denis Manturov, the industry has already proven its adaptability by solving the carbon fiber problem for the MS-21, and today domestic composites are used in aircraft and helicopter manufacturing, shipbuilding, and medicine.
"A separate set of tasks is related to energy, including the nuclear sector and the localization of equipment for LNG and renewable energy sources, and the Government is paying special attention to technologies for food security and the development of the bioeconomy. The world already understands that biocompetence can transform virtually any industry. We are successfully integrating into this global trend, which will allow us to claim a leading position in the future. Thus, today, technologies and breakthroughs in one area are becoming a catalyst for change in dozens of others," he noted.
Denis Manturov focused on the space industry, where the challenge is to increase satellite production and reduce launch costs by developing new launch vehicles. Furthermore, projects to build a Russian orbital station and a lunar station powered by nuclear power were highlighted.
"The time when engineering and creative thought were relegated to a secondary role is, fortunately, gone forever. Therefore, I hope that the platform for the future being laid today will provide fertile ground for the realization of your boldest, most audacious ideas," the First Deputy Prime Minister concluded.
A series of thematic programs, "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects," is being held at the National Center "Russia." They are dedicated to the national development goals outlined in Presidential Decree No. 309.
