Ahead of the United Russia party's reporting and program forum, "There Are Results!", in Nizhny Novgorod, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko commented on the development of the educational infrastructure of the Neimark IT campus and the Nizhpoligraf federal vocational education technology park.
"Currently, at the direction of our President Vladimir Putin, we are creating a constellation of 25 world-class campuses across the country. Work on them is being carried out as part of the national project 'Youth and Children.' Their construction is one of the key initiatives of the United Russia People's Program. Thanks to the party's support, funding has been allocated from the budget. I would like to note that the Volga Federal District is among the top three in terms of the number of such campuses. The Neimark IT campus will have 7,000 student places and nearly 5,500 residential spaces. This is a flagship educational institution not only for Nizhny Novgorod but for the entire Volga Federal District," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.
In September, 18 new hotels opened on the Neimark campus. Students and faculty are already living there in comfortable conditions, and training is underway in in-demand IT fields such as AI, telecommunications, information systems, and others. The campus is being developed in close collaboration with industrial partners. For example, Sber's GigaDoc is located there.
The campus infrastructure was also praised by Vladimir Yakushev, Secretary of the General Council of the United Russia party, Igor Komarov, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Volga Federal District, and Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.
"Currently, 25 campuses are at various stages of development, scheduled for completion by 2030. These campuses will provide us with opportunities to more actively develop science and introduce new technologies. And by creating this infrastructure, we will adequately respond to the technological challenges facing our country today," said Vladimir Yakushev.
Another important element of Nizhny Novgorod's educational infrastructure is the Nizhpoligraf Federal Technopark for Professional Education, which is being created at the behest of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Nizhpoligraf is being created under the 'Professionalism' federal project of the 'Youth and Children' national project. This technology park is a unique venue. Besides Nizhny Novgorod, the only other similar facility in Russia is in Kaluga. Thanks to the United Russia party, funding for the 'Professionalism' program was increased. The technology park is a talent pool for the secondary vocational education system of Nizhny Novgorod and the Volga Federal District. The creation of Nizhpoligraf meets the needs of young people. United Russia has received requests from them for participation in championships and accelerators. The technology park already hosts major events. Last year, the finals of the 'Professionals' championship took place," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.
In collaboration with industrial partners, 21 laboratories have been established at the technology park, covering everything from mechanical engineering to IT. A total of 43 laboratories are planned, covering everything from the chemical industry to tourism. All of this is aimed at achieving the goal set by President Vladimir Putin of training one million specialists and skilled workers by 2028.
"Implementing the 'Professionalism' program is part of United Russia's popular program. Colleges' participation in the program allows us to upgrade our material and technical resources, which means we can train even more qualified specialists for leading industries and meet the real needs of businesses and the economy as a whole. Here, children have every opportunity to develop. Teachers also receive training at Nizhpoligraf—they receive practical training on the best equipment and internships at companies," noted Vladimir Yakushev.
Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor and Secretary of the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Branch of the United Russia Party Gleb Nikitin noted that the region is consistently developing an engineering culture and creating conditions for unlocking the potential of young professionals, which is particularly important for achieving the goals of the Decade of Science and Technology declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The Nizhny Novgorod Region is a major industrial and scientific center of the country, home to strong universities and a powerful engineering school. Thanks to federal support, we are creating a technology park at Nizhpoligraf and the Neimark IT campus—large-scale projects that will drive positive change. These are new hubs, bringing together thousands of talented young people who want to develop, build a career, and live in Nizhny Novgorod. By implementing such projects, the Nizhny Novgorod Region is affirming its educational, industrial, and cultural potential. We strive to ensure that Nizhny Novgorod residents perceive themselves as residents of a successful, leading region where even their boldest ambitions can be realized," noted Gleb Nikitin.
