An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Polytechnic stand continues its work at the INNOPROM exhibition, and the official delegation of SPbPU takes an active part in the business program. On July 8, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin arrived in Yekaterinburg. At the forum, the Prime Minister assessed the exhibits and opened the main strategic session "Technological Leadership: Industrial Breakthrough".

"I would like to sincerely welcome the participants and guests of the main industrial exhibition of Russia. This year it has a significant anniversary. For the 15th time, Yekaterinburg has become the center of attraction for companies of industrial leaders – both our country and our friendly states. In order to identify new growth points, expand the range of business contacts," said Mikhail Mishustin. – Today's discussion is devoted to a very important topic – industrial breakthrough. President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum emphasized that the Russian economy must become more technological. This is a serious challenge, the solution of which will require combining the efforts of educational and scientific institutions, industry and other sectors, the expert community and investors, state corporations and development institutions, ministries and departments, regional authorities. I am absolutely convinced that together we will be able to achieve the goals set in this area. And a good support, of course, will be the success of domestic manufacturers."

The industrial world is currently experiencing a period of dramatic change and instability. In the context of growing uncertainty, the largest market players are actively looking for new growth points and strategic allies. Technological development is becoming a key area of production transformation. The priority vector is the creation of intelligent and automated systems, where artificial intelligence plays a central role in managing production processes. However, technological progress is only one component of success in the struggle for leadership. An equally important aspect is the formation of a reliable ecosystem of partnerships based on many years of experience of joint work and mutual trust. The key factors in this strategy are the painstaking work of higher education institutions in training qualified personnel, as well as close interaction between educational institutions, enterprises and business representatives.

Thus, the chief designer for the key scientific and technological development area of SPbPU "System Digital Engineering", director of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" Alexey Borovkov was one of the key speakers of the round table "Implementation of strategic projects of technological leadership within the framework of the program "Priority-2030". The participants of the meeting discussed the mechanisms of interaction of the program with the system of higher education, including the assessment of the implemented educational programs, methodological approaches to training and forms of cooperation between educational institutions and the business community.

Alexey Ivanovich recalled that in 2025, each university included the section "Strategic Technological Leadership" in its comprehensive development program, identifying three strategic technological projects. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, following the presentation of the University Development Program at the Council of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, entered the leading group of universities participating in the Priority-2030 program.

It is important to note that in accordance with the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 20, 2023 No. 1315-r, the term “technological leadership” is defined as the superiority of technologies or products in key parameters (functional, technical, cost) over foreign analogues. It is for the purpose of achieving technological leadership according to this definition that SPbPU concentrates its efforts on three key scientific and technological areas (KST): KST-1 “Systemic digital engineering” – development of technologies and products superior to foreign analogues, based on digital twin technology and the CML-Bench® Digital Platform KST-2 “New materials, technologies, production” – creation of science-intensive industries for the repair and manufacture of products for various purposes; KST-3 “Artificial intelligence for solving cross-industry problems” – development of digital platform solutions for analyzing multimodal data, – said Alexey Ivanovich.

A solemn and pleasant ceremony took place at our stand during business negotiations. SPbPU Academic Secretary Dmitry Karpov presented the SPbPU "For Merits" badge of distinction to Anatoly Sludnykh, General Director of the Ural Optical-Mechanical Plant named after E. S. Yalamov (UOMZ). The award was given by a unanimous decision of the Polytechnic Academic Council for his great contribution to the development of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. UOMZ is a long-standing and reliable partner of the Polytechnic. So, quite recently The plant's delegation visited our university.

According to Anatoly Sludnykh, the enterprise is interested in using technologies and materials developed by Polytechnic University scientists, as well as in additional training of its technologists and engineers at the university. SPbPU, in turn, is determined to strengthen ties and expand cooperation with the Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant and other enterprises of the Shvabe holding.

We should add that the Polytechnic stand enjoys increased attention from specialists and visitors to the INNOPROM exhibition. They evaluate the advanced engineering developments of our university and communicate with the university specialists. But the exhibit of the SPbPU History Museum is of particular value – a fragment of the legendary "Cable of Life". This is a gift from Polytechnic graduates who, after graduating from the university, made a successful career at Lenenergo.

September 23, 1942 was a turning point in the history of Leningrad during the siege. On this day, the besieged city began receiving electricity from the Volkhov Hydroelectric Power Station. The unique project was completed in just 48 days. Power engineers had to lay 104 kilometers of overhead power lines and five 23-kilometer cable strands along the bottom of Lake Ladoga. The work was carried out under constant enemy fire near the front line. A three-core cable with a 120 mm² cross-section ensured the transmission of significant amounts of electricity. The system operated for almost two years, supplying not only industrial enterprises, but also the everyday needs of city residents.

Director of the SPbPU History Museum Valery Klimov shared his memories of the outstanding engineer Nikodim Tumanov, who supervised the cable laying. In 1935, he graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute as an external student, defending his diploma project on the topic of "Expansion of the electrical network of the Central District of the Leningrad electrical network."

When he was assigned to lead the group, he said: "I understood that this task was impossible. But if I refused, someone else would refuse, a third – and the city would be left without electricity. I decided for myself that I had to try. Leningraders are those people who did not refuse. Perhaps that is why we survived. And as long as a person believes, he lives," Valery Yuryevich quoted Nikodim Tumanov.

I noticed that there are not many stands here that have the logo of the 80th anniversary of the Victory. Our stand has one. This year the country celebrated a great anniversary, and that is why we brought to Yekaterinburg one of the symbols of the Victory and the heroism of Leningraders – "Cable of Life", – emphasized Valery Klimov.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Students of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU defended a comprehensive final qualification work in the format of "Final Qualification Work as a Project" to solve real production and management problems of the customer – JSC "Power Machines".

Three students majoring in Management, International Logistics, divided the tasks among themselves as follows: Darya Snigireva considered the issues of developing fast purchases through the implementation and adaptation of marketplaces, and Maria Shapova dealt with illiquid assets: working with unloading, organizing unscheduled inventories, creating a pricing system. Both girls were advised by Nikita Lukashevich, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Management. Yana Salangina took on the transformation of the enterprise's warehouse accounting and the development of recommendations for improving the management of the warehouse complex (consultant – Zoya Simakova, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Management).

The main task of the student of the "Trade" direction, profile "Logistics systems in trade", Ekaterina Rakcheeva was to develop a procurement training system and fill the "Knowledge Base" of the enterprise. Ekaterina was advised by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Service and Trade Irina Kapustina. The overall assessment of the effectiveness of the developed activities was made by a student of the "Economics" direction, profile "Economics and management at the enterprise", Anna Myasnikova (consultant – Professor of the Higher School of Engineering and Economics Svetlana Suloeva). The project was supervised by Senior Lecturer of the Higher School of Industrial Management, the ideologist of the implementation of the complex final qualifying work on the part of the Polytechnic University Egor Temirgaliev.

The meeting of the State Examination Committee was held on the premises of the Leningrad Metal Plant of JSC Power Machines. The State Examination Committee was headed by the Director for Development of General Industrial Suppliers of Power Machines, Evgeniya Khmel. The SEC also included representatives of the customer and the university.

The result of the students' work was a set of measures that optimize production and management processes at the enterprise. In particular, recommendations for improving the purchasing activities of Power Machines through the implementation of an industrial marketplace make it possible to reduce the duration of the purchasing process. The proposed automation of contractual activities through the development of a template for filling out a contract reduces the time of the purchasing manager. Due to the developed recommendations for improving warehouse operations through the implementation of barcoding, as well as the implementation of an automated warehouse complex management system, the time for performing warehouse operations is reduced, the accuracy of accounting and the throughput of the warehouse are increased.

During the defense, the members of the State Examination Commission asked many questions, touching on their areas of professional interest. As a result, the commission rated the work as excellent.

After the results were announced, the chairperson of the State Examination Commission, Evgeniya Khmel, summed up the defense: On the customer's side, we make fairly high demands on students both during the pre-graduation internship and writing of the work, and during the defense itself. It is very important for us that the tasks that we set for students at the beginning of their journey find application in our business after the defense of the diploma. I can say that the team did a great job!

This is already the third project successfully implemented by IPMET students for Power Machines. Last year, the Polytechnicians defended a comprehensive final qualifying work commissioned by Power Machines – Leningrad Metal Plant on the topic of transforming the purchasing activities of an industrial enterprise in order to reduce slow-turnover inventories, and in 2023 worked on the project "Harmonization of production needs with the provision of components and materials" by order of "Power Machines" – the "Elektrosila" plant.

We attach great importance to the preparation of comprehensive final qualification works created by order of industrial enterprises of St. Petersburg. In this way, we solve a dual task: on the one hand, we help the enterprise to take a new look at production and management processes, on the other hand, we prepare young qualified specialists for our strategic partner, the Power Machines company, who, while still students, successfully completed pre-graduation practice, then wrote a diploma work and, most importantly, became employees of this enterprise, – commented the director of IPMEiT Vladimir Shchepinin.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From September 1, students of the Priazovsky State Technical University (PSTU) will begin studying the key course "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood" using the unique practical manual "Let's Talk About Russia". It was developed by employees of the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

In recent years, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation has been actively working to reform the humanitarian block of disciplines in the country's universities. One of the main innovations of the 2023-2024 academic year was the introduction of a patriotic-focused academic subject, "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood". The need to develop the discipline was especially emphasized by Russian President V.V. Putin at a meeting of the State Council "On the implementation of youth policy in modern conditions". The head of state pointed out the critical importance of this step in the context of escalating information confrontation, noting the increased vulnerability of the younger generation to targeted attacks from outside. The task has been set to give young people reliable guidelines and reliable knowledge through a fundamental academic course on the "History of Russia" and "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood".

In response to the appeal of the teachers of the Priazovsky State Technical University to the Vice-Rector for Educational Activities of SPbPU Lyudmila Pankova, an additional print run of the textbook "Let's Talk About Russia" was promptly printed and sent to Mariupol. The presentation ceremony took place at the A. A. Zhdanov Memorial House-Museum in Mariupol – a branch of the State Memorial Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad.

The practical manual was prepared by a team of authors — teachers of the Higher School of Social Sciences of the Humanitarian Institute. The main feature of the publication is its innovative structure, which allows for an organic combination of theoretical training in the course "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood" with various analytical, project and creative tasks.

By studying the fundamental principles of statehood, value and ideological attitudes of a citizen of the Russian Federation, students will not only learn the information, but also comprehend it through dialogues, discussions, project work and the completion of creative tasks.

For example, when studying the topic "Diversity of Russian Regions", students are offered tasks in the form of fillwords and anagrams. The game approach turns the acquisition of material into a fascinating search, developing attentiveness and analytical thinking. Working on the topic "Victories and Trials of Russia", students create a virtual art gallery of works dedicated to the trials or victories of Russia. Reflecting on the traditional values of Russian society, students analyze how values and moral ideals are reflected in language, works of art, and are fixed in the form of quotes, images, and characters. The children select quotes and suitable images from works of literature and popular culture that most vividly demonstrate the manifestation of a specific value. It is the synthesis of theory and interactive tasks that allows us to form a meaningful personal attitude to the principles and values of Russian statehood, making the learning process as productive and engaging as possible.

At the present time, the Higher School of Social Sciences of the Humanitarian Institute is completing work on a collective monograph, “Russia’s Civilization Path,” within the framework of a single educational and methodological complex on “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood.” The monograph will become an additional resource for integration processes aimed at forming the socio-cultural sovereignty of our country.

In total, over 47 thousand participants from 60 countries are expected at INNOPROM-2025, including representatives of 11 thousand organizations and companies.

"I am glad to welcome you to the anniversary XV International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM! The main theme of INNOPROM-2025 — "Technological Leadership: Industrial Breakthrough" — is fully revealed in the business and exhibition program of the exhibition. And almost every thematic track of the exhibition — be it the development and application of advanced digital and production technologies or effective educational solutions for training a new generation of engineering personnel — corresponds to one or another scientific and technological or practice-oriented educational area of activity of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, — says Rector of SPbPU, Chairman of the SPbB RAS Andrey Rudskoy. — I am convinced that INNOPROM-2025 will become an effective platform for uniting sites for demonstration, interaction, as well as effective business communications with potential customers and investors. The stand of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is open for constructive dialogue and interaction with all interested participants and partners who are ready, like our university, to actively participate in the implementation of the action program to achieve technological leadership in Russia."

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University presents more than ten advanced developments at the exhibition, which not only demonstrate the level of the engineering school of Russia, but are also ready for implementation in key areas of industry. These are not prototypes "for the future", but ready-made solutions for the present.

"Zhuchok" – a transport platform for wheelchairs

A distinctive feature is that any wheelchair can enter the platform: both electric and mechanical. This allows the platform to be rented on popular tourist routes or beaches, increasing their accessibility for people with disabilities. Equipped with a unique rubber track, which has no analogues in Russia.

Industrial cartridge – an effective barrier for protecting urban waters

FOPS filters purify wastewater, turning sewer manholes into eco-stations. The development is entirely Russian and has already been tested in megacities. The solution is scalable and relevant for all urbanized areas. FOPS filters are not thrown away after cleaning, but are included in the composition of nutrient substrates. The new technology closes the ecological cycle, reduces waste and makes agriculture "greener". The key idea: to use what others throw away.

Lithium-ion module with smart balancing

Module for electric vehicles and new generation equipment. Up to 1500 W/kg of power in a compact case. Most of the components are domestically produced, the rest can be replaced in the near future.

"Nomad" – mobile laser welder

Mobile laser cladding complex created in the Research Laboratory "LiAT" of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The Nomad is designed to restore and modify the surfaces of large-sized and special products using laser cladding. After transportation, the start-up and adjustment time is up to 30 minutes. The laboratory specialists designed the complex to carry out projects to repair components of domestic and imported gas turbine engines. This technology allows applying layers of material to a substrate or a finished product. Metal powders and wires can be used as raw materials. The main feature of the MK is its compactness and the ability to move to the work site, which is convenient for repairing large-sized products.

Also on the stand you can see nozzle assemblies after restoration repairs using the laser gas-powder surfacing method, working and nozzle blades, welded joints formed using the laser and hybrid laser-arc welding method, and much more.

New generation unmanned aerial vehicle "Snegir-2"

The Snegir electric UAV family is a line of multifunctional unmanned vehicles developed by specialists from the Experimental Design Bureau of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering". In 2023, the Snegir-1 UAV was created on an initiative basis in just five months, and in 2024–2025, the Snegir-1.5 and Snegir-2 modifications with increased take-off weight and flight range were developed on its basis.

The new generation UAV Snegir-2 presented at the Polytechnic stand has increased stability due to an improved control system, and is also equipped with an innovative modular system of interchangeable components, which allows the device to be quickly adapted to perform various tasks.

The SPbPU stand showcased developments of the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the SPbPU Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering", including demonstrators of overprinting and induction welding technologies for thermoplastic composite materials, as well as automated laying out of thermoplastic unidirectional prepregs. These solutions were highly praised by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko at the XI International Forum of Technological Development "Technoprom" in 2024.

Innovative materials and products are presented for the first time: ASM PEEK C140UD toupreg for automated production of highly loaded composite structures, a bracket made of ASM PEEK-C285S-P based on a thermoplastic consolidated plate made of superstructural polyetheretherketone, as well as ASM PEEK-3K filament for 3D printing based on continuous carbon fiber. The production technologies of the materials were developed by engineers of the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" of SPbPU in the interests of JSC Prepreg-SKM (part of Rosatom Composite Technologies), and samples of the materials were manufactured by an enterprise of the composite division of the State Corporation specifically for the INNOPROM-2025 exhibition.

Oil products in water sensor

The use of the sensor allows determining the concentration of impurities in real time. Analogues allow determining the presence and concentration of impurities only in samples taken at specified time intervals. When creating the sensor, digital design technologies, additive technologies, development of proprietary image processing algorithms, and microcontroller programming were used.

"The Cable of Life" is a story that has become a symbol of heroism

An exhibit from the SPbPU History Museum is an engineering solution that saved Leningrad during the siege. A fragment of a high-voltage cable that was laid along the bottom of Lake Ladoga to provide Leningrad during the siege with electricity from the restored Volkhov Hydroelectric Power Station. It is named by analogy with the "Road of Life".

There is also an active business program at the Polytechnic stand. On the first day of the exhibition, negotiations were held with representatives of the Industrial Cluster of the Republic of Tatarstan. They were attended by the Scientific Secretary of SPbPU Dmitry Karpov, Chairman of the Board of the Cluster Sergey Mayorov, Member of the Board Aidar Gimadeev, Member of the Board Pavel Loginov, Member of the Board Ilnar Zakirov.

The Tatarstan Industrial Cluster is an association of enterprises and organizations created to develop industrial production and increase its competitiveness. Founded in 2010, the cluster today includes more than 1,000 enterprises operating in various industries. The goal of the cluster is to develop the republic's economy through the development of production and increasing the competitiveness of industrial enterprises. The partners discussed promising options for cooperation that can be implemented in joint educational projects. They are aimed at improving production technologies, creating new products and services, and improving the qualifications of personnel.

Another delegation represented the Moscow Government. The prospects for cooperation and interaction with the Polytechnic were discussed by the Scientific Secretary of SPbPU Dmitry Karpov, the Head of the Department for the Development of International Cooperation of the Department of Foreign Economic and International Relations of the City of Moscow Elena Tikhonova and the Head of the Department of International Relations Anastasia Sibileva. The discussion focused on joint events within the framework of the upcoming BRICS municipal forum.

Ilya Kobykhno, Head of the Laboratory of Polymer Composite Materials of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering", spoke at the session "Thermoplasts – New Materials for Industry", during which the participants discussed the prospects for the development of the thermoplastic composites market in key areas of industry, as well as the impact of new materials on the competitiveness of the final product.

The speaker presented advanced developments created for the Rosatom State Corporation and Rostec enterprises, including demonstrators of overprinting and induction welding technologies for thermoplastic composite materials, as well as automated laying of thermoplastic unidirectional prepregs. Let us recall that these solutions were highly praised by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko at the XI International Technological Development Forum Technoprom in 2024.

Ilya Kobykhno also spoke about the creation of innovative materials and products jointly with Prepreg-SKM JSC (part of Rosatom Composite Technologies) and BI PITRON LLC: ASM REEK C140UD toupreg for automated production of highly loaded structures, a bracket made of ASM REEK-C285S-P based on a thermoplastic consolidated plate made of superstructural polyetheretherketone, as well as ASM REEK-3K filament for 3D printing based on continuous carbon fiber. These exhibits are presented at the SPbPU stand as part of the INNOPROM exhibition program.

In conclusion of his speech, the speaker emphasized that further development and application of the integrated technology for producing composite structures using the overprinting method for manufacturing products, including aviation equipment, will be carried out within the framework of the key scientific and technological development area of SPbPU “System Digital Engineering”.

The Institute of Civil Engineering at SPbPU has created an environmentally sustainable technology based on microalgae that allows the utilization of carbon dioxide from industrial emissions and the production of biohydrogen, a promising renewable fuel. The results of the study were published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, and the technology is described in the material onon the RIA Novosti website.

The development was carried out under the supervision of Natalia Politaeva, professor at the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering. The technology involves the use of bioponds, where microalgae absorb carbon dioxide, forming biomass, which is then subjected to dark fermentation to obtain biohydrogen.

The fuel produced in this way can be used in cars, hydrogen fuel cells or to generate electricity and heat. Implementation of the technology in coal power plants will help reduce the harm from carbon dioxide emissions and increase the energy efficiency of enterprises.

The advantage of the technology is that it combines three functions: carbon dioxide capture, biomass processing and hydrogen production. This makes the system unique in terms of its closed nature and sustainability. Scientists plan to improve the technology after pilot implementation at an industrial facility.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The student teaching team "SOzvezdie" is once again giving children unforgettable impressions and vivid emotions in the summer work season. The students have gone to different regions of Russia. In the Leningrad Region, they work in the children's health camps "Volna" and "Gorizont". Another group is spending a shift in the children's health and career guidance camp "Vremya Dela" in the Republic of Dagestan.

The season of pedagogical teams is notable for the fact that students can work in different positions. Counselors organize children's leisure time, conduct entertainment programs and monitor safety. Administrative staff coordinates the work of the camp and solves organizational issues. Club leaders lead creative and sports sections, helping children to discover their talents. A special role is played by the press center workers, who cover the events of the camp and manage social networks.

We went to Dagestan for the first time to work there in the already familiar to us camp "Time of Business". This is an unusual experience: a different climate, cultural features of the region, incredibly beautiful nature. Despite the completely new conditions, the members of our squad are very happy to work with the children in the camp and help them spend their holidays cheerfully and usefully, – said SPO "SOzvezdie" fighter Elena Larina.

Thanks to the professionalism and enthusiasm of the participants of "SOzvezdie", every day in the camps is filled with bright events. Creative events are held – concerts, competitions, theatrical performances. Sports competitions are organized – tournaments, relay races, team games. The counselors do not forget about educational programs – master classes and educational games.

Students enthusiastically take on any job, striving to make each summer special for their charges. And they themselves gain invaluable experience working with children, improve their teaching skills and find new friends. For many, this becomes an important stage in their professional development and personal growth.
