Order No. 3871-r of December 19, 2025
By 2035, Russia must establish at least nine scientific and technological competence centers, as well as up to 50 laboratories, aimed at developing new types of transportation equipment, as well as new materials and technologies for transport construction. This is one of the objectives of the Concept for the Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Transport Complex through 2035. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving this strategic planning document.
The new centers' areas of focus include the development of high-speed rail, autonomous (unmanned) vehicles, electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, hydrogen-fueled transport, as well as the development of the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor and transport logistics technologies.
A research institute for transport will coordinate scientific research and experimental development for the transport sector, including through new competence centers. It will be established within the Russian University of Transport.
The new competence centers and laboratories are expected to increase applied scientific research, which in turn will lead to the launch of new start-ups in the transportation sector.
The same goal is pursued by the creation of youth technology entrepreneurship centers (business incubators) at industry universities and the launch of a grant program for student startup developers.
