Document

Order No. 373-r of February 26, 2026

Accelerating the transition of Russia's fuel and energy sector to a new technological level through the use of domestic digital technologies is the primary goal of the updated strategic direction for the digital transformation of the fuel and energy sector through 2036. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving this document.

A priority in addressing this challenge will be the use of Russian base and application software in systems supporting core production and management processes at energy sector enterprises and organizations. By 2030, this figure should reach 80% across the industry.

Another important area of work will be the participation of fuel and energy companies and organizations in cybertesting aimed at identifying vulnerabilities and developing methodological recommendations for protecting sensitive information. By 2030, at least 100 companies and organizations should participate in this effort, and by 2036, this number should increase to 500. Based on the test results, a cyber resilience rating for fuel and energy companies will be compiled.

Along with cyber resilience testing, artificial intelligence technology and other digital solutions in the energy and fuel and energy sectors are also planned for testing. The tests will be conducted at a dedicated industry testing facility, scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027.

Achieving the goals and objectives set by the strategic direction is impossible without training qualified personnel. To this end, the strategic program for the development of school energy classes, "Russian Engineering School – 2030," is planned to be launched at the end of 2027. Its goal is to establish cooperation between schools, secondary and higher educational institutions, and industry companies.

The strategic directions for the digital transformation of key economic and social sectors are sectoral strategic planning documents developed by the Government at the direction of the President. They are aligned with existing state programs and national projects and are approved for the period up to 2036. To ensure the documents remain relevant, they may be amended annually.

St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU) Construction Management Department graduates of 2025—Bogdan Pismarkin, Aigul Orazdurdyeva, and Daniil Koldyshev—proved in practice that a final qualifying work can be not only the final point of study but also the beginning of a professional career. They presented their final qualifying work in the format "Startup as a Diploma" and after defending they continued working on the project outside the university.

The initiative, developed as part of their final thesis, was further developed and presented to the Leningrad Region Construction Committee. Accompanied by Roman Motylev, Head of the Construction Management Department at SPbGASU, PhD in Engineering, and Associate Professor, the graduates presented the project to Vitaly Lazutkin, Chairman of the Committee. This allowed the authors to consider their idea in the context of real-world challenges facing the construction industry.

The project involved creating a digital platform connecting migrant workers and construction companies engaged in industrial and civil construction. The platform includes integration with government services for verifying workers' documents and legal status, implementing a rating system, and enabling the placement of orders and selection of contractors—both individually and as part of established teams. The solution's architecture is designed to comprehensively address organizational issues related to labor resource management in construction.

Currently, a mobile app with basic functionality has been developed: searching for specialists, verifying documents, and creating and coordinating teams. In the future, the team plans to expand the platform's capabilities by implementing calendar and resource planning tools, modules for smart assignment of contractors between sites and orders, and mechanisms for attracting workers from abroad, taking into account current legislation and migration registration requirements.

During the meeting, the relevant committee discussed current issues arising in the implementation of public construction projects. Participants paid particular attention to the labor shortage. The committee chair proposed elevating the SPbGASU graduate project to the level of a public service, which would help systematically address the challenges of organizing and distributing the workforce.

In the future, it is possible that graduates will interact with other specialized committees involved in the development of the construction industry in the Leningrad Region.

Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the XI Eastern Economic Forum.

A meeting of the organizing committee for the XI Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), which will be held from September 1 to 4, 2026, in Vladivostok, was held in Moscow. The EEF is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Russian Government.

"The Eastern Economic Forum is being held under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and is boosting the development of the Far East. Currently, more than 3,000 investment projects worth a total of 13.5 trillion rubles are being implemented in the Far East, of which 6 trillion rubles have been invested, including 1 trillion rubles over the past year. This is an important result, achieved despite the efforts of numerous unfriendly countries to hinder us. As part of these investment projects, more than 1,000 enterprises have been commissioned and over 180,000 jobs have been created. Last year, the EEF was attended by over 8,000 participants from 75 countries. We continue to communicate with our international partners and develop the Far East and Russia," said Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District and Chairman of the EEF Organizing Committee, opening the meeting.

During the meeting, general aspects of the forum's preparation were discussed, including the content of its business program, as well as the preparation of urban infrastructure.

"The Eastern Economic Forum is currently one of the key development tools for the Russian Far East and an important platform for implementing national development goals. In 2026, declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the forum will focus on the humanitarian dimension of development. The "Soul of Russia" project, which was already presented at the anniversary EEF, will unite traditions, modern ideas, and the cultural diversity of the country's peoples and will highlight the unique features of our multinational country through the creative cluster. This will strengthen the Far East's position as a hub for interaction between the cultures and civilizations of the Asia-Pacific region," noted Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Deputy Chairman of the Organizing Committee and Executive Secretary.

The organizing committee discussed the theme of the upcoming event. "Ten years is a good time to take stock. One of the topics will be an analysis of the implementation of the President's instructions issued following previous forums. We are holding the EEF not for the sake of the forum itself, but to achieve results. The results are defined by the instructions of the head of state. The second important issue is technological development. Today, without technological advancement, the development of the Far East and the entire country is impossible," said Yuri Trutnev.

Furthermore, the business program proposed highlighting issues related to the development of energy and transport infrastructure, discussing mechanisms for attracting private investment and government support measures, and discussing aspects of human resources policy. Special attention will be paid to the implementation of master plans for Far Eastern cities and improving the quality of life. As usual, industry-specific business sessions will be organized to discuss the implementation of investment projects.

The 4th International Forum "Falcon Day" will take place on the opening day of the EEF, having already become a highlight of the forum. The "Far East Street" exhibition will traditionally showcase the achievements, unique culture, customs, and cuisine of the Russian Far East, as well as the economic potential of the regions.

The 2026 Eastern Economic Forum will feature a strengthened international sports component. The Parade of Sails will take place for the fifth time, bringing together over 1,000 sailors and young yachtsmen in Amur Bay, including professional foreign yachtsmen from China and other friendly countries.

The International Services of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, together with Viktor Gorelykh, Director of the Russian House in Mumbai, monitored the Indian market to determine the interest of companies and investors in innovative technologies developed at SPbPU. The analysis identified Thetabeta Analgorithms Pvt Ltd, an Indian company engaged in the commercialization of innovative technologies.

At the request of Thetabeta Analgorithms' management, an online meeting was held with a team from the Polytechnic University who have developed a technology for using microalgae to solve various environmental problems and produce diverse products. The meeting was attended by project leader Professor Natalia Politaeva, four graduate students, Vladimir Khizhnyak, Head of the International Cooperation Office, and Sergey Antonov, Head of the Department of International Scientific and Foreign Economic Relations. Colleagues from India expressed particular interest in using microalgae for carbon dioxide absorption and biodiesel production.

Natalia Politaeva provided a detailed explanation of the technology's capabilities and presented the results of testing it on a semi-industrial setup—a 100-liter photobioreactor—using real gases from the Severov Thermal Power Plant. Indian specialists asked numerous questions, and SPbPU graduate students actively participated in the discussion. The cost of implementing the innovation was of particular interest. To reduce the cost of the technology, they proposed cultivating microalgae in wastewater and injecting gases from industrial facilities. Practical testing of this approach has already shown positive results.

"Implementing the technology in Russia presents certain challenges," noted Natalia Politaeva. "In particular, the cool climate makes practical application of the technology on an industrial scale quite expensive. In India, thanks to the warm climate, the cost will be significantly lower."

In addition to the technology and its commercial potential, the meeting participants discussed the economic and organizational aspects of entering the Indian market.

India, with its huge population and serious environmental challenges, is extremely interested in green technologies. Our Indian partners understand this well and see great potential for applying our developments, emphasized Vladimir Khizhnyak.

Representatives of the Indian company confirmed their high interest in developing cooperation.
