The event features an exhibition of technological achievements, where major corporations and science-intensive enterprises present cutting-edge developments and the latest innovative solutions in the bioeconomy. The forum is supported by the Russian Government and organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
The Deputy Prime Minister visited the stands of companies participating in FBT-2026 and assessed the technologies and projects presented by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center, Sberbank, the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom, Gazprombank, and the Moscow government.
"As our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, has said, the bioeconomy is a key topic in terms of the quality of global growth. At the head of state's direction, our country is implementing national technological leadership projects. Among them is the national project 'Technological Support for the Bioeconomy,' which aims to develop technologies and personnel, and mobilize science, the government, and technology entrepreneurs to create cutting-edge developments in the bioeconomy. The forum's exhibits feature impressive exhibits, many of which are already prototypes, and some are ready for real-world use. All these developments are designed to make our lives better. Importantly, many young scientists are also working on them," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.
Among the most striking, he named bio-eco-autonomous stations, which, when combined with a low-power nuclear reactor, make it possible to develop hard-to-reach places for habitation. They provide the conditions for creating products necessary for life support, such as a plant propagation accelerator, which allows for the rapid development of plants with the required properties. The Deputy Prime Minister also highlighted a technology presented at Sber's stand: artificial intelligence for science, which accelerates scientific research and creates protein compounds with specified parameters. Among the developments highlighted by Dmitry Chernyshenko were Rosatom's work on closed-loop technologies for nuclear reactors and technologies in life extension and prosthetics for the heroes who participated in the Second World War.
The central element of the exhibition is the Ministry of Industry and Trade's stand, which presents five key areas of work within the national "Bioeconomy" project. Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Mikhail Yurin presented the stand to the Deputy Prime Minister.
Sber and its partners are presenting projects related to artificial intelligence technologies at the Future Technologies Forum. For example, a joint project with the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) is a prototype device for recording and storing information in DNA. The company's booth will also feature an exhibition of projects by the winners of the 2024 Sber Science Prize.
"Today, artificial intelligence is becoming the primary tool for scientific research—a kind of 21st-century microscope. At our booth, we're demonstrating how AI is already at work in science: helping to design proteins with specific properties, predict the state of ecosystems, and accelerate research," said Albert Efimov, Vice President and Director of Research and Innovation at Sberbank.
Gazprombank JSC is presenting a range of high-tech Russian developments in the bioeconomy at its stand. These include the Far Eastern Federal University's "Marine Biofactories" project, developed under the "Priority 2030" program and based on the potential of marine bioresources.
At the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom's stand, visitors can see how Rosatom produces clean energy, restores natural resources, and develops healthcare technologies.
The Challenge Foundation for the Development of Scientific and Cultural Relations is presenting a multimedia cube that will show videos about the foundation's work and its key projects, including the Challenge National Prize for Future Technologies.
On the sidelines of the forum, Moscow's bioeconomy solutions are presented at the Moscow government's stand.
"Moscow companies are already successfully integrating biotechnology into production cycles and offering solutions for the sustainable development of the city and the country as a whole. The Moscow government's stand features approximately 80 high-tech solutions from 35 companies across five thematic areas: pharmaceuticals and medicine, transport and ecology, food industry, and agriculture. Among them are biosimilar drugs for the treatment of complex diseases, bioprinters, hydrogen charging stations for electric vehicles, accelerated plant breeding systems, and a biodegradation unit for polyethylene using insects," said Anatoly Garbuzov, Moscow government minister and head of the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.
The core of the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" exhibit is the center's proposed concept for a bio-eco-settlement powered by a small nuclear power plant. A prototype of this power plant was created at the Kurchatov Institute, and a model is on display at the exhibit. This compact bio-eco-settlement boasts a high degree of autonomy and a closed life-support cycle, including waste recycling. It develops production based on biotechnology and renewable resources and ensures a high quality of life with minimal impact on the environment. This makes these types of settlements highly sought after for the development of hard-to-reach areas, particularly in the Arctic zone.
Russian manufacturing companies also showcase their products at the forum.
The Future Technologies Forum 2026 is being held with the support of the Russian Government, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Science Foundation, and the Russian Quantum Center. The forum's co-organizers are Gazprombank, the Moscow Government, and Rosatom. The general partner is Sber. The strategic partner is Rosseti PJSC. The communications partner is the MAER media holding. The partner is R-Pharm.
