Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University was ranked among the top universities in the 2025 annual "TOP 1000 University Startups" ranking, which is conducted as part of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform of the federal "Technologies" project of the national "Efficient and Competitive Economy" project.
Startups from students, employees, and graduates of higher education institutions in the last three years are eligible to participate in the competition.
In terms of the number of projects among the top 35 universities, Polytechnic University ranks sixth with 21 projects. In 2024, the university ranked 34th (nine projects).
The winners included students from various SPbPU institutes: PISh "Digital Engineering" (13 projects), IMMiT (3 projects), IBSiB (2 projects), IKNK (1 project), ISI (1 project), IPMET (1 project).
Maxim Gorbuk, a student at the Higher School of Computer Technology and Information Systems at the Institute of Computer Science and Culture (IKNSC), scored the highest score among polytechnic students—78.59. His project, "MedAI: A Mobile App for Vaccinating Children Receiving Immunosuppressive Therapy," placed 57th among the competition's winners.
Three projects by Elina Goricheva and two by Georgy Shkolnik made it into the rankings. Both participants are students from the Higher School of Technological Entrepreneurship (PSTE) at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. A total of 40 projects were submitted to the competition by the HSTE.
SPbPU's high ranking is the result of systematic efforts to develop and promote student entrepreneurship (the Polytechnic University's Technological Entrepreneurship Model was among the top three at the Startup Summit Awards — Ed.), which aligns with the Concept of Technological Development of the Russian Federation until 2030.
