The forum takes place from September 24 to 25 in Nizhny Novgorod.

Dear friends!

I am pleased to welcome you to the forum and congratulate you on your professional holiday – Forest Workers Day.

Russia possesses unique natural resources and biodiversity. Forest ecosystems occupy more than half of our country's territory and are considered the "lungs of the planet." The protection, restoration, and sustainable use of this national treasure are the result of the work of scientists, forestry specialists, and industry workers.

The forest complex is of strategic importance, ensuring ecological well-being and environmental quality for the comfortable life of millions of Russians.

Digital transformation, the introduction of innovative technologies, the use of cutting-edge oversight methods, and an increase in the volume of services provided are essential conditions for the industry's further development.

And also – training highly qualified specialists who will work as professionally, responsibly and with great dedication as you do.

I am confident that you will be able to discuss these and other topics at the Forum, exchange experiences and best practices, and find answers to pressing questions together.

I wish you productive work, interesting communication, good luck, and all the best. Happy holidays!

M. Mishustin

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko chaired a meeting of the Commission on Scientific and Technological Development (S&TD).

The meeting was attended by Gennady Krasnikov, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Deputy Chairman of the Commission; Vladislav Davankov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma; Maxim Kolesnikov, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development; Dmitry Afanasyev and Denis Sekirinsky, Deputy Ministers of Science and Higher Education; Olga Koludarova, Deputy Minister of Health; Sergei Glagolev, Deputy Minister of Finance; Pavel Kadochnikov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade; Ekaterina Priezzheva, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade; Veronika Skvortsova, Head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia; Anna Popova, Head of Rospotrebnadzor; Yuri Zubov, Head of Rospatent; Sergei Kabyshev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education; Mikhail Kotyukov, Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai and Chairman of the State Council Commission on Technological Leadership; Viktor Sadovnichy, President of the Russian Union of Rectors and Rector of Moscow State University, and others.

During the meeting, issues related to the implementation of the most important innovative projects of national importance, industry strategies, and fundamental scientific research programs were discussed.

One of the main topics was the development of approaches to working on the most important innovative projects of national importance.

The Scientific and Technological Development Commission approved the draft strategy for the development of the rehabilitation industry of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 in terms of personnel and scientific support for its implementation, subject to taking into account comments.

The draft strategy under consideration is aimed at ensuring a sustainable level of development of the rehabilitation industry in our country.

"The project presents a comprehensive picture of the development of the entire industry: from fundamental science and personnel training to production and logistics. It was prepared taking into account fundamental documents for the sector, including decrees of President Vladimir Putin and orders of the Russian Government. It is expected that the implementation of the strategy will, among other things, promote Russia's national interests in rehabilitation technologies, science, personnel development, and production," stated Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Ekaterina Priezzheva added that the project was sent to more than 230 interested organizations and presented to an expert community and the heads of large enterprises.

Gennady Krasnikov reported that the Scientific and Technical Council of the Scientific and Technical Revolution Commission carefully reviewed the draft strategy: "It provides for truly priority research, including the development of neural interfaces, the use of artificial intelligence, the creation of biocompatible materials, and other important studies. Furthermore, it provides for the integration of medical organizations with leading scientific organizations, and a detailed review of human resources policies is underway. We believe that the convergence of nanotechnology, robotics, and neurosciences envisioned in the strategy will enable the creation of cutting-edge, competitive products. Following its review, the Scientific and Technical Council recommends supporting this project."

Veronika Skvortsova presented the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia's cutting-edge practices in high-tech comprehensive rehabilitation: "I would like to thank you for your support of the world-class scientific center—the Center for Cybernetic Medicine and Neuroprosthetics, established within the Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnology of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. Thanks to the agency's close collaboration with Motorika, fundamentally new technologies have been developed and are already being implemented: biocompatible implants, innovative methods for combating phantom pain, prosthetic sensing systems and bionic prostheses, and neuromicroprocessor interfaces. These unique developments are currently being tested on their first patients."

In conclusion, the Scientific and Technological Revolution Commission reviewed the 2024 report on the implementation of the Fundamental Scientific Research Program in the Russian Federation for the long-term period.

Last year, the Academy of Sciences worked to improve the model for coordinating fundamental and exploratory scientific research, as well as the evaluation of scientific results. RAS Vice President Stepan Kalmykov discussed this work in detail.

Denis Sekirinsky highlighted key aspects of the program implementation report and announced changes to the indicator system: "I would like to separately inform you that today we made changes to the fundamental research program: the indicators have been revised and are now fully aligned with the indicators for the implementation of the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia, which were previously approved at a meeting of the commission and the Council for Science and Education."

At a strategic session chaired by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the status of the implementation of the unified digital platform "GosTech" was discussed. It functions as a platform for the development and operation of government information systems (GIS).

Specifically, the platform enables ministries, agencies, and regions to access modern software solutions, government service development tools, and infrastructure that meet high security requirements. This ensures the rapid launch of new GIS systems and significant cost savings on their implementation, as it eliminates the need to redevelop existing solutions. The platform is being developed under the supervision of Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

There are currently 52 departmental and regional systems and services operating on GosTech. Another 30 services are in the development or pilot phase.

Among the platform's services is the My School GIS. The system helps track up-to-date information on lesson schedules, homework, and academic progress, and allows parents to manage a unified schedule for their children, adding clubs, sections, and other extracurricular activities. The system also allows students to access a library of electronic learning materials, which currently includes over 30,000 lessons from leading Russian educational platforms. Teachers can assign homework to their class in the form of a link to a specific digital module.

During the event, the platform's updated operating format, "GosTech 2.0," was presented. Its key advantages will include fully automated procedures for ordering government information systems, as well as the creation of a competitive environment by incorporating IT solutions from various Russian developers into the platform.

"GosTech 2.0 will allow us to create new services faster and easier and ensure a high level of security. Our goal is to make government digital solutions as efficient and convenient as possible for citizens and businesses," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

He recalled that the GosTech project was launched in 2020. The platform was designed based on the best technical solutions available at the time. Currently, the development of the unified digital GosTech platform involves the integration of modern technologies to improve efficiency and automate the development of government services.

Thus, within the framework of the platform, it is planned to create a special cluster for working with large language models and implementing artificial intelligence in government services.

The platform's development is part of a larger-scale change in the government's approach to managing the state IT infrastructure. The new IT management model envisions a clear division of responsibilities in the development of government services, platforms, and other digital projects. Specifically, all government IT solutions are planned to be developed with the support of the Center for Expertise and Coordination of Information Technology. At the same time, the Federal State Institution "GosTech" will become the single coordinator for the technical design of IT solutions for the state.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired the first meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the International Economic Forum "Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum" in 2026.

The event was attended by Advisor to the President of Russia Anton Kobyakov, Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, as well as representatives of federal ministries and agencies.

"KazanForum has once again confirmed its status as an important platform strengthening the partnership between Russia and the countries of the Islamic world. Our dialogue is based on shared interests and deep mutual respect. Last year's business program brought together approximately 8,500 representatives from 96 countries and 82 regions of Russia. Participants were widely represented, including countries from the CIS, the Middle East, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia. Next year, the forum will be held in Kazan on May 14–15. It will be held at the federal level for the fourth time. And with Kazan set to receive the status of 'Cultural Capital of the Islamic World 2026,' the forum takes on particular significance. Our work must be focused on concrete results, and our shared goal is to hold this event at the highest level. I am confident that KazanForum will continue to serve as a bridge that facilitates even greater rapprochement between Russia and Muslim countries," said Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Organizing Committee Marat Khusnullin.

The meeting also summarized the results of the 2025 forum. The business program included approximately 200 events, resulting in the signing of approximately 130 agreements. Key outcomes include the growth of the halal financial products market, increased trade with countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the opening of an office in Kazan for the AAOIFI, the international organization for Islamic finance standards. Other areas such as the international exhibition Russia Halal Expo and the unique real estate platform International Property Market also continue to thrive.

"We see growing interest from our domestic and international colleagues in the International Economic Forum 'Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum.' Today, the forum serves as a venue for meeting, dialogue, and cooperation between Russia and the Islamic world. This year, KazanForum welcomed participants from 96 countries and 82 regions of Russia. The event was covered by over 500 media outlets from 20 countries. I would like to emphasize that the upcoming KazanForum 2026 will be held as part of a significant event: Kazan's status as the cultural capital of the Islamic world. I am confident that this event should be reflected in the 2026 forum's agenda," noted Rustam Minnikhanov, Head of the Republic of Tatarstan and Deputy Chairman of the Organizing Committee.

Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee, noted that holding the International Economic Forum "Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum" is a large-scale undertaking that utilizes all available tools to maintain dialogue and develop mutually beneficial cooperation with member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

"In the context of ongoing geopolitical changes and the growth of Russia's foreign trade, maintaining and strengthening stable partnerships is key to transforming the Russian economy. The forum, which will be held in May 2026, is intended to become a platform for expanding Russia's cooperation with Islamic countries. Participants are particularly interested in bilateral sessions dedicated to developing intercountry ties across a wide range of issues. It is important to continue strengthening this dialogue by offering relevant topics for discussion during the forum's business and cultural events," emphasized Anton Kobyakov.

He also noted that meetings between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Arab leaders are scheduled for October 2025. Following these talks, a foundation will be laid for organizing Kazan Forum business missions to countries in the Arab region. The main objective is to present real opportunities for investment and joint projects and identify priority areas for cooperation. The results of the business missions will form the basis for the substantive discussions of the KazanForum business program in 2026.

The International Economic Forum "Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum" has been held in Kazan annually since 2009. The key objective of the event is to develop economic, trade, and socio-cultural relations between Russia and Islamic countries.
