Tatyana Golikova spoke at the open discussion "Priority 2030: From a University Idea to Technological Leadership."

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova spoke at the open discussion "Priority 2030: From University Idea to Technological Leadership." The discussion was held as part of the "Priority – Technological Leadership" conference. Also participating in the event were Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprombank Dmitry Zauers, General Director of the Institute of New Carbon Materials and Technologies Viktor Avdeev, and Director of Innovations at EFKO Management Company JSC Rostislav Kovalevsky.

The Priority program, which has been implemented since 2021, is the largest state support program for universities in Russian history. It covers 56 regions and 141 universities. Universities from 15 federal ministries and agencies participate in the program.

Universities affiliated with the Russian Ministry of Health ranked second in terms of number of participants. The "Medicine and Biotechnology" program leads in terms of the number of technology projects announced for implementation, accounting for 22% of the total.

Medical universities participating in the program occupy leading positions, implement technological projects, and already have product results.

Tatyana Golikova recalled that Russia has launched a national project, "New Health-Saving Technologies," which aims to make Russian healthcare 80% technologically independent by 2030.

"It's important for us that universities supported by Priority 2030 and part of the national technological leadership project are not only talent pools. They also serve science and high technology. Synergy between these areas is crucial," she noted.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the Russian pharmaceutical market will exceed 1.1 trillion rubles by the end of 2024. Russian-made medicines account for 67% of total sales and 85% of government procurement.

"It's crucial for us to develop innovative drugs and develop our own medical products. Our leading participants in Priority 2030, including Sechenov University, Pirogov University, Samara State Medical University, and Siberian State Medical University, are all proven institutions," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

Minister of Education and Science Valery Falkov noted that, starting this year, the Priority program has been reoriented toward fulfilling the national goal set by the Russian President of achieving technological leadership in the country. This has required a complete overhaul of university development programs.

Ultimately, more than 280 strategic technology projects are planned across nine priority technology leadership areas. Gazprombank has become a strategic partner for the program, committing to conducting technological assessments of the university projects.

"The University of Technological Leadership must be an active, full-fledged participant in economic relations," noted Valery Falkov.

Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin spoke about how Priority universities are participating in the development of end-to-end transportation technologies.

"In 2021, when discussions about high-speed rail were just beginning, a cutting-edge engineering school was established at the Russian University of Transport. It focused on high-speed rail and driverless technology. This was a perfect fit—today, this area is the main driver of industry development," emphasized Andrey Nikitin. "The engineering school has become a platform that brings together business, science, applied technology development, and proactive students who want to build their future in high-tech fields. We are actively discussing with the Ministry of Transport how to expand the number of such schools and strengthen our participation in the Priority 2030 program. Understanding the importance of this, we believe it is the best tool for achieving technological leadership and developing industry innovation."

A systematic approach to housing management and maintenance ensures timely maintenance and repairs of apartment buildings, which ultimately improves the quality of life for residents. To this end, unified regional funds for managing apartment buildings have been established in the DPR, LPR, and Zaporizhia and Kherson oblasts. Currently, 38,000 of the 42,000 apartment buildings have been transferred to their management, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Maintenance of apartment buildings is a necessary condition for their operation, ensuring the comfort and safety of residents. To improve the efficiency of apartment building management, unified regional funds for managing apartment buildings were established in Donbas and Novorossiya in 2025. Currently, 38,000 buildings with a total area of 67.5 million square meters have been transferred to their management, representing 90% of the total number of buildings in the reunified regions," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that unified management companies were created to synchronize routine and major repairs of apartment buildings, ensure centralized planning and cost control, and allocate resources for fulfilling obligations and providing services. Furthermore, consolidating building management into a single center allows for faster response to problems and improved service quality. The Territorial Development Fund (PDF) facilitates the organization and operation of unified management companies.

"In parallel with the transfer of apartment buildings to unified management companies, the fund is working to implement modern billing systems to generate a single payment document. Experts note a 30% increase in payment activity, which has enabled management companies to better prepare for the autumn/winter season and increase the volume of ongoing repairs performed on apartment buildings," noted Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Fund for Reconstruction and Development.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the program for the comprehensive development and modernization of housing and communal services in the reunified regions, under the coordination of the Ministry of Construction.

The Deputy Prime Minister spoke at the East Asia Summit in Malaysia.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexey Overchuk spoke at the 20th East Asia Summit, held in the capital of Malaysia as part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) events.

In his speech to the economic leaders participating in the forum, Alexey Overchuk emphasized the importance of developing dialogue and cooperation between countries in the context of a new period of global development and the challenges facing countries, including growing demand for new resources, access to water, food and energy security, artificial intelligence, fragmentation of the global economy, investment redirection, and tariff and non-tariff barriers introduced to hinder the development of individual countries.

According to him, in the current multipolar world, the most important task is to find new points of equilibrium for the formation of balanced international economic relations. "The centers of global economic activity have shifted to the Asia-Pacific region, and together we must seek economic balances between these centers, that is, primarily between the countries of Northern Eurasia, Southeast Asia, North America, China, and India," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

During the speech, it was emphasized that the Russian Federation places particular importance on developing its partnership with ASEAN by strengthening the connectivity of the Northern Eurasia and Southeast Asian macroregions. The positive impact of the free trade agreements that Russia is concluding as a member of the Eurasian Economic Union was noted.

As the Deputy Prime Minister noted, developing trade and economic cooperation requires improved logistics. "Given its geographic location and colossal transit potential, Russia is investing in global transport connectivity through the development of transport corridors linking Eurasia along the East-West and North-South axes, paying close attention to increasing the capacity of port infrastructure in the Far East. We are establishing new container shipping routes with countries in Southeast Asia. We are working on developing the Northern Sea Route," he added.

Turning to food security issues, Alexey Overchuk noted that Russia occupies a leading position in the global agricultural market. "As a major food supplier, Russia contributes to the sustainable development of agriculture to achieve global food security," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

Access to affordable energy was cited in the speech as another key component of growth. "Our country remains a reliable supplier of traditional energy resources. We are also a leader in nuclear energy, having become the first country in the world to sign an export contract for the construction of a small nuclear power plant," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Special attention was given to supporting the countries of Southeast Asia. "Southeast Asia is the region on our planet most susceptible to natural disasters. Russia will continue to provide assistance to countries located here in dealing with their consequences, as it did after the devastating earthquake in Myanmar in March," noted Alexey Overchuk.

The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized the importance of preserving cultural diversity. "Our shared goal is to protect cultural diversity in the world," he said. The Deputy Prime Minister reiterated the importance of historical memory: "It is important to preserve our shared historical memory. This year, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, remembering the nations that brought victory to Germany against Nazism and Japanese militarism, making colossal human sacrifices for this victory."

Concluding his speech, Alexey Overchuk articulated his vision of Russia's international role: "Russia wants to build bridges of cooperation in Eurasia and between continents, and it itself is such a bridge." In this context, he noted the convergence of the fundamental goals of the East Asian Community and the Greater Eurasian Partnership—an initiative launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin aimed at creating a comfortable shared environment for peaceful, sustainable development and strengthening connectivity in Eurasia.
