During the official visit to Abkhazia, the Russian delegation headed by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak discussed key areas of bilateral cooperation with representatives of the republic's Ministry of Economy. Particular attention was paid to the implementation of joint projects within the framework of existing intergovernmental agreements.

"Over the past 4 years, the Program for the Socioeconomic Development of the Republic of Abkhazia has been successfully implemented. The volume of trade between our countries has grown by 60%. According to the results of several months of 2025, the growth in trade turnover was about 30%. Russia provides support for the socioeconomic development of the Republic. We see enormous potential for the development of agriculture and tourism in the Republic. Abkhazia is a reliable and friendly partner for us. We have common ideas and initiatives, the same view of the situation in the world, which should become multipolar," said Alexander Novak.

One of the significant results of the meeting was the extension of the basic agreement on socio-economic cooperation until 2030. This will create the basis for a new five-year program for 2026–2030, which should come into force by the end of 2025.

"The difficulties that the republic faces are not easy, but with the support of the Russian Federation, we can overcome them. It is very important for us to implement all the programs that we have outlined. Based on the results of 2022-2025, we see positive results: trade turnover has grown significantly, GDP has increased by 187%. These are serious indicators. I am confident that the implementation of the current program will give a special impetus to the development of the economy of our Republic," said Badra Gunba, President of the Republic of Abkhazia.

During the visit, the 20th meeting of the Russian-Abkhaz Intergovernmental Commission was held, where the parties agreed on further steps for the development of the republic. In particular, the following will be continued: the implementation of the State Program for the Socio-Economic Development of Abkhazia for 2022-2025, the extension of the basic agreement on socio-economic cooperation until 2030.

In the coming years, it is planned to develop and implement sectoral development work maps in the areas of energy, tourism, transport, healthcare and education, social protection of the population, investment climate, real estate cadastre, customs and tax administration, and public utilities. "The main objective of these maps is to further develop the economy of Abkhazia in conjunction with the formation of a common social and economic space between our countries, and to create a favorable investment climate," commented Sergey Nazarov, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia. "As well as eliminating infrastructure restrictions for economic development, attracting investment and tourists to the republic, expanding social protection measures for the population, improving the quality and accessibility of services provided to citizens of the republic in the social sphere, and the standard of living of the population of the republic as a whole."

The delegation also visited the site of the future Children's Republican Hospital, the Sukhum International Airport named after V.G. Ardzinba, to assess the progress of joint projects. The extension of the agreement until 2030 cements the long-term partnership between the two countries.

Lectures, workshops and horizontal connections: the Summer Engineering and Economics School 2025 has started at the State University of Management

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On July 21, 2025, the Summer School of Engineering and Economics started at the State University of Management.

The School brings together postgraduate students, young scientists and engineers from different Russian universities for the fourth time. The School's research areas are engineering, unmanned aircraft systems, mechanical engineering, food security, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development.

At the opening ceremony, the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev said that the first School was held in 2023 in Grozny on the basis of the GGNTU named after Academician M.D. Millionshchikov, but subsequently changed its location.

"Holding the School in different cities is a positive moment. This way, young scientists get to know the country, establish connections, because not everyone will necessarily work in one place their entire lives. Thanks to this, the geography of the School itself is also expanding. Three universities started the project, and today there are seven universities. The program includes lectures, workshops, master classes, but the main thing for you is communication. I wish you a productive time," the rector said.

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Boris Chernyshov noted that the Summer Engineering and Economics School, through the efforts of the rector and management of the State University of Management, shows excellent results not only in attracting funding for science, but also in terms of specific results.

"The topic of management in science is one of the key areas in achieving state strategic goals, including in a special military operation. Associations of young scientists can become a new milestone on the path of continuous development of public administration principles. And the State University of Management in this sense can create conditions for attracting new personnel. Science is the future today, and the ability to manage it is a key factor in success in any activity. I hope that the School will result in an attempt to look into the future and suggest new solutions to pressing issues," Boris Chernyshov wished.

The following institutions will participate in the Summer School of Engineering and Economics – 2025: — BSTU named after V.G. Shukhov (Belgorod); — VlSU named after A.G. and N.G. Stoletov (Vladimir); — GGNTU named after academician M.D. Millionshchikov (Grozny); — GUU (Moscow); — DonNTU (Donetsk); — Moscow State University named after A.I. Kuindzhi (Mariupol); — NTU "Sirius" (federal territory "Sirius").

Immediately after the opening ceremony, the School's students were treated to a lecture entitled "Engineering Heritage: Russia – USSR – Russian Federation". But before that, we managed to find out from the Chairman of the Council of Young Scientists and Specialists of the GGNTU named after academician M.D. Millionshchikov Temirlan Sultanbekov, who is participating in the program for the third time, what attracts him to the School.

"The school attracts with relevant and useful lectures, interesting master classes. It is not only interesting, but also undoubtedly useful. And the program changes and is updated every year. At my university, I do not only science, and the School helps to develop various skills. And with each visit, I notice that my level of personal and professional skills, which I can apply in my work, is increasing," Temirlan Sultanbekov.

The Summer School of Engineering and Economics will last until July 25. Students will not only be able to attend lectures on artificial intelligence and workshops on the design of unmanned aerial vehicles, but also tours of production facilities, exhibition spaces, and the State Duma.

SPbPU representatives took part in the cross-university examination of the Priority-2030 program

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Sociocenter, with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, has completed the selection of experts to conduct a cross-university examination of the implementation of the Priority-2030 program. Among them are the head of the SPbPU Office of Technological Leadership Oleg Rozhdestvensky, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education Dmitry Tikhonov and Director of the Department of Economics and Finance Elena Vinogradova.

In total, 156 representatives of universities participating in the Priority 2030 program and scientific organizations will be involved in the cross-university examination of the Priority 2030 program.

The selection of experts was a multi-stage process. At the correspondence stage, the selection committee assessed the professional experience and motivation of candidates based on their resumes and essays. As a result, 225 people received an invitation to an educational intensive course at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. There, the candidates' leadership qualities, teamwork skills, ability to analyze information and formulate constructive proposals were assessed. The final stage was an online meeting with the participation of expert candidates, representatives of the Sociocenter and the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, at which five strategically important areas of modern higher education were formulated:

target model and strategic positioning; university development management; strategic technology projects and change projects; knowledge production, transfer and application system for technological leadership; leadership and development team.

After the final list of experts was approved, the Sociocenter team began the final preparation of a large-scale expert work that will cover 113 universities participating in the Priority 2030 program. From September, experts will begin visiting universities across the country to assess their condition and develop recommendations for further development.

Cross-university assessment is an innovative format for assessing the activities of universities, in which the assessment is carried out by representatives of the professional community of university specialists themselves. This mechanism allows combining the principles of objective assessment with the possibility of mutual learning and dissemination of best practices.

"This is an excellent expert tool that has not only proven its effectiveness over the past couple of years, but has also ensured the formation of a community of qualified specialists in the field of university development," commented Oleg Rozhdestvensky, Head of the SPbPU Office of Technological Leadership. "And the main difference this year is that such expert work is becoming systemic — more and more people and universities are getting involved. This is extremely important given the focus of most universities on the federal agenda of achieving technological leadership and the upcoming changes in the higher education system in the country."

The Russian Ministry of Education and Science has been implementing the Priority 2030 program since 2021. Since 2025, the program has become part of the federal project Universities for a Generation of Leaders of the national project Youth and Children.

Mikhail Mishustin visited the city center "Tribuna Hall" in Blagoveshchensk. With the Governor of the Amur Region Vasily Orlov

The key objects of the Blagoveshchensk master plan are located in the central part of the city on the Golden Mile section of the Amur embankment, which includes the House of Russian-Chinese Friendship, a cross-border cable car, an international congress and exhibition center, a premium hotel complex, the Fountain Alley, the Amur Dino Park and other objects.

The entire territory of the Golden Mile is reclaimed and was formed as a result of the implementation of a large-scale project for coastal protection and improvement of the embankment of the city of Blagoveshchensk (implemented in the period from 2013 to 2024 on 10 sites, which are grouped into 3 key clusters – Golden Mile, Silver Mile and Cote d'Azur).

The project was created using funds from a single subsidy, the regional budget and with the participation of partners (SBER). Within the framework of the project, the largest fountain complex in Eurasia was created, the House of Russian-Chinese Friendship with an observation deck, a dino park were built, and the central square of Blagoveshchensk was landscaped.

Mikhail Mishustin inspected the new airport complex of the Blagoveshchensk International Airport (Ignatievo) named after N.N. Muravyov-Amursky

The House of Russian-Chinese Friendship is a separate building with a complex architectural elliptical shape with variable number of storeys and a protruding cornice-spoiler. The area of the object is 6.3 thousand square meters, 2 floors, the roof of the building serves as an observation deck. Finishing works are currently underway at the object, completion is scheduled for September 2025.

The cross-border cableway across the Amur River between the cities of Blagoveshchensk (Russia) and Heihe (China) is the world's first cableway between two countries, Russia and China, and opens up great prospects for the development of international tourism and business. The cableway is being built under an intergovernmental agreement signed on September 3, 2015. The construction period is 2019–2025, with commissioning scheduled for May 2026. Technical readiness as of July 2025 is 80%.

The length of the cable car is 976 meters, it consists of two independent lines with two cabins with a capacity of up to 110 people each, the throughput capacity is 6.8 thousand people per day in each direction, the throughput capacity of the checkpoint across the state border is up to 2.5 million people per year (in both directions).

On the Russian side, a four-level passenger terminal with a total area of 26 thousand square meters is being built to accommodate the cable car terminal station, a platform and technological equipment, a checkpoint across the state border, a duty-free shop, restaurants, shopping and entertainment facilities. Commissioning is scheduled for May 2026.

The construction of a multifunctional congress and exhibition center is included in the long-term plan for the comprehensive socio-economic development of Blagoveshchensk for the period up to 2030. The planned start date for construction is the first quarter of 2026, and the completion of work is 2028. International events will be held here (the Russian-Chinese Economic Forum "AmurExpo", congresses, concerts, exhibitions), a center for Russian-Chinese business cooperation will be created, and a permanent export fair of Russian goods (from food to industrial equipment) for foreign guests will be organized.

The construction of five-star hotels is planned on the territory adjacent to the cross-border cableway under construction, in the immediate vicinity of the planned international congress and exhibition center.

The Alley of Fountains is the largest fountain complex in Eurasia, which has become the new calling card of the capital of the Amur Region. It is a pedestrian fountain with an area of 3 thousand square meters with a fogging system and 2114 jets. It was put into operation in May 2024.

In the evening, the fountain jets "dance" to music, being painted in different colors thanks to the spotlights installed next to the nozzles. Spectators can see "swan wings", "hearts", and other water figures.

The Amur Dinopark is an immersive area that will feature more than 20 exhibits, such as animatronic dinosaurs in jungle-like interiors. Finishing work is currently underway in the new building, with completion scheduled for May 2026.

M. Mishustin: Dear Vasily Alexandrovich!

Previous news Next news

Conversation between Mikhail Mishustin and the Governor of the Amur Region Vasily Orlov

Not so long ago, about five years ago, we met here and spoke in detail about the infrastructure elements that were sorely needed in the Amur Region. I remember very well, then we looked at the bridge towards Heihe, talked about checkpoints, a new airport, coastal protection, the creation of modern embankment elements and much more.

Today, these projects are being implemented systematically. The result of this was a twofold increase in the regional domestic product. This is a very good result. Today, we have seen from the implementation that everything is going as usual.

The airport we visited is almost ready. I hope that it will welcome and serve the millionth passenger in the new terminal in December, as planned.

Drive

The projects “Golden Mile”, “Silver Mile”, the expo center, the hotel, the cable car, all the elements on the embankment, which we also discussed in detail with you – they are all being implemented, and I hope on time.

It is also pleasing to see the creation of infrastructure for the movement of goods and, of course, for passenger transportation, tourism – both within the country and for tourism towards China. You are a border city.

And here it is very important that Kanikurgan, as an infrastructure, as a customs and logistics warehouse, as a checkpoint, will become, I think, an anchor for the expansion of the entire transport and logistics system of the Far East.

To be continued…

Dmitry Grigorenko: More than a third of the first wave of industrial competence center projects have been successfully completed

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Within the framework of industrial competence centers, the implementation of 66 IT products of the first wave has been completed. They have already been implemented by more than 500 Russian and foreign companies – from chain retailers to airports and nuclear industry enterprises. More than 135 thousand jobs have been transferred to domestic software solutions that were implemented within the framework of the ICC.

In total, the first wave of particularly significant projects included 150 solutions that replace foreign software used in key sectors of the economy. Among the completed developments are 59 projects implemented using the companies' own funds, as well as 7 projects implemented with the involvement of grant funds.

"We are faced with the task of developing, including with government support, IT products that are not inferior in functionality to foreign ones, so that it would be interesting and profitable for businesses to implement them. And judging by the completed projects of the first wave, such mature domestic solutions exist. They have gone beyond the pilot stage and are already used by hundreds of companies," said Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Among the completed solutions that are most actively replicated is the creation of a software and hardware complex (operating system, office software, browser, antivirus) designed to automate the activities of specialists (a project commissioned and funded by Rosatom State Corporation). It is necessary to transfer automated workstations that previously used Microsoft to domestic software. During the project, more than 133 thousand workstations of 150 nuclear industry organizations were transferred to Russian software. The active replication of the project continues.

Another development within the framework of the ICC, which has already been implemented and is in great demand among Russian companies, is the Russian loyalty system Loyalty 2.0 for retail outlets. It has already been implemented by more than 50 Russian companies, such as Magnit, Domashniy Interier (Hoff), Dixie, Medsi, Rive Gauche, as well as three foreign companies. The solution uses data on customer purchases and preferences to create personalized offers and manage marketing campaigns. The system allows processing more than 6 thousand customer requests every second. The developer's revenue from sales of the solution amounted to about 1 billion rubles.

The solutions that showed the best sales revenue figures also included a digital platform for field design commissioned by JSC Rosgeo. The solution was developed with the help of grant funds. It is already being used in 33 companies. The solution's sales revenue amounted to almost 160 million rubles (340% of the grant amount), and the return on government investment in the form of taxes was more than 72 million rubles (154% of the grant amount).

In total, about 200 particularly significant projects are currently being implemented in Russia within the framework of the ICC. Most of the first wave projects will be implemented by the end of 2026. In May 2025, the second wave of ICC projects was launched. Within its framework, 49 projects were selected and supported. 17 of them received grant funding in the amount of 3.2 billion rubles. Completion of the implementation of most of the second wave projects is planned for the end of 2027.
