From October 29 to 31, Polytechnic University is participating in the International Forum and Exhibition "Russian Industrialist." The forum has become a federal platform bringing together heads of enterprises and companies from leading industries to collaborate with the government, technology companies, the financial sector, scientific organizations and institutes, small and medium businesses, and international partners.
This year, the "Russian Industrialist" forum and exhibition took on a special status—the event was timed to coincide with the 120th anniversary of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. The main theme was "Industrialization as the Foundation of National Projects."
"The International Forum and Exhibition 'Russian Industrialist' is a key platform for expert dialogue between representatives of government, industry, science, education, and economic development institutions—key organizations and structures directly involved in addressing strategic issues in the field of technological development and public industry in our country. Polytechnic University is a regular participant in the forum," noted SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.
On the first day of the forum, Andrey Rudskoy held a working meeting with Vladimir Ivanov, Director of the N. S. Kurnakov Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The Polytechnic University rector also gave an interview for the TV studio "Russia — A Co-Event of Good News." The discussion focused on the training of highly qualified specialists for Russian industry and the main challenges in this field. They also discussed what motivates modern engineers to pursue professional development. The broadcast was broadcast on the "Petersburg Diary" website.
Andrey Rudskoy presented a paper at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg Congress "Professional Education, Science, and Innovation in the 21st Century." The session focused on the role of science and professional education in achieving national technological leadership. The rector of SPbPU discussed options for the new development of 21st-century technologies. In addition to the rector of the Polytechnic University, representatives from Russian education, science, and politics attended the session. Before the plenary session, Andrey Rudskoy also gave a short interview to the Saint Petersburg TV channel.
This year, the Russian Industrialist is hosting the St. Petersburg International Scientific and Educational Salon. Andrey Rudskoy also attended the grand opening. He welcomed the salon's guests and wished everyone productive work.
Andrey Rudskoy joined the presidium of the plenary session of the II Conference of Grant Recipients of the St. Petersburg Science Foundation, where he reported on the results of the work of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
As per tradition, Polytechnic University presented its cutting-edge developments at Rosprom.
The industrial cartridge is an effective barrier for protecting urban waters. FOPS filters purify wastewater, transforming sewer manholes into eco-stations. This development is entirely Russian and has already been tested in major cities. The solution is scalable and suitable for all urban areas. After purification, FOPS filters are not discarded but incorporated into nutrient substrates. This new technology closes the ecological loop, reduces waste, and makes agriculture greener. The key idea: reuse what others throw away.
The Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory at IMMiT is demonstrating laser systems for foil welding processes, repairing and manufacturing components for power engineering, and more. The LIAT Research Laboratory boasts robotic laser cladding systems, mobile units, robotic laser cladding and surface hardening systems for external and internal surfaces, direct laser deposition systems, including systems on linear guides, and a laser-arc welding system. All of these systems were developed directly by Polytechnicians. The LIAT Research Laboratory systems are used to repair imported and domestically produced components of power engineering equipment.
The Lightweight Materials and Structures Laboratory also showcased its latest developments to forum guests and participants. They focused on friction stir welding technology, applicable to non-ferrous metals and dissimilar joints in industries such as aviation, shipbuilding, and energy. This technology is also effective for welding aluminum armor up to 50 mm thick.
The Engineering Center for Design, Certification, and Testing of Advanced Energy Sources at the Institute of Metallurgical and Metallurgical Engineering (IMMeT) presented its development—a lithium-ion buffer battery—at the Russian Industrialist exhibition. The battery is designed to provide power in areas with limited or no access to the power grid. The battery can power laptops, charge phones, and other devices from a 220V AC power source. A laptop powered by this battery can operate continuously for over 200 hours.
Many other developments by polytechnicians were also presented.

In addition to all this, the Polytechnic Institute's stand also features museum exhibits. Reconstructions of the uniform of a student in the shipbuilding department of the Polytechnic Institute and the dress uniform of Marshal of the Soviet Union Leonid Govorov are on display. Also on display is Slavyanov's glass. At the end of the 19th century, the global engineering community held the belief that it was impossible to fuse different metals into a single alloy due to their different physical and chemical properties. The renowned engineer and scientist, Nikolai Gavrilovich Slavyanov, the inventor of modern electric arc welding, refuted this belief by creating two metal "glasses" welded from eight metals and alloys: bell bronze, tombac (a copper-zinc alloy), nickel, steel, cast iron, copper, nickel silver (an alloy of copper with nickel and zinc), and bronze.
Alexander Shokhin, President of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and the National Research University Higher School of Economics, visited the Polytechnic University's booth. SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy personally gave the distinguished guest a tour and explained all the developments.
