Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak assessed the results of the first year of the "Labor Productivity" federal project. It is part of the "Efficient and Competitive Economy" national project and aims to improve the efficiency of both business and the social sector.

"Over a thousand companies have joined the federal productivity project in 2025. More than 21,000 employees have been trained in productivity-enhancing tools. The implementation of lean manufacturing principles helps businesses restructure logistics, optimize equipment utilization, and reduce downtime. Experts from the federal competence center and the network of regional centers provide support. This year, they expanded to the DPR and Kurgan Oblast, covering 62 regions. By 2030, RCCs will be established in four more regions of the country," noted Alexander Novak.

At the President's direction, the federal project is intended to cover 40% of medium and large enterprises in key non-resource sectors of the economy and all state and municipal social sector organizations. To this end, 15 out-of-the-box solutions and over 100 best practices for increasing labor productivity have been developed for cultural and leisure organizations, sports organizations, public libraries, social services organizations, and general and higher education institutions. Projects to improve labor productivity have already been completed in 3,600 social sector institutions.

To systematically improve labor productivity, industry competence centers and specialized programs are being established within ministries.

"Eight such OCCs have been established in the real sector of the economy, and six in the social sector. Sixteen sectoral programs have been developed. These programs are designed to identify productivity priorities, generate demand for lean manufacturing tools, develop proposals for removing administrative barriers, and adjust support measures to stimulate productivity growth. They are currently being finalized to create version 2.0," said Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov.

The federal project "Labor Productivity" is a continuation of the national project of the same name, which ran from 2018 to 2024. During this time, more than 6,000 enterprises received support from the federal competence center and the network of regional centers and increased their profits by 484 billion rubles. To participate in the project, enterprises in non-resource industries simply submit an application on the "Productivity.rf" platform.

Denis Manturov spoke at a session dedicated to the national goal of "Technological Leadership" as part of a series of thematic meetings "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects."

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the National Center "Russia" and spoke at a session dedicated to the national goal "Technological Leadership" as part of a series of thematic meetings "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects."

"I am pleased to welcome you to this wonderful platform, which today is dedicated to discussing the most important goal of national development. The Presidential Decree defines it as 'technological leadership.' I hope that my colleagues will be able to develop this concept through specific projects and provide a concrete understanding of how Russia will achieve superiority in global markets," Denis Manturov addressed the guests and participants.

He emphasized that achieving this ambitious goal is focused on nine national projects designed to strengthen more than 15 industries and initiate a profound transformation of key economic sectors. This particularly concerns the transportation sector, for which a line of new, all-Russian civilian aircraft is being developed within an extremely short timeframe.

"In turn, the shipbuilding industry is working to modernize the watercraft fleet. Today, we are the undisputed leader in the nuclear icebreaker segment, have expanded our position in electric passenger ships, have successfully entered the cruise liner niche, and are among the first to introduce autonomous navigation technologies," continued the First Deputy Prime Minister.

Denis Manturov noted that the trend toward autonomy is also relevant for railways, but the main breakthrough will be the creation of an electric train capable of traveling at speeds of up to 400 km/h by 2028. He also called the chemical complex, where hundreds of technologies have been implemented, equally important.

"The national project aims to ensure domestic production of over 700 critically important chemical products. This will close the production chain, eliminating reliance on imported substances. Composites are also a focus. The industry is focusing on materials that combine carbon fibers with polymers, ceramics, and metals," he said.

According to Denis Manturov, the industry has already proven its adaptability by solving the carbon fiber problem for the MS-21, and today domestic composites are used in aircraft and helicopter manufacturing, shipbuilding, and medicine.

"A separate set of tasks is related to energy, including the nuclear sector and the localization of equipment for LNG and renewable energy sources, and the Government is paying special attention to technologies for food security and the development of the bioeconomy. The world already understands that biocompetence can transform virtually any industry. We are successfully integrating into this global trend, which will allow us to claim a leading position in the future. Thus, today, technologies and breakthroughs in one area are becoming a catalyst for change in dozens of others," he noted.

Denis Manturov focused on the space industry, where the challenge is to increase satellite production and reduce launch costs by developing new launch vehicles. Furthermore, projects to build a Russian orbital station and a lunar station powered by nuclear power were highlighted.

"The time when engineering and creative thought were relegated to a secondary role is, fortunately, gone forever. Therefore, I hope that the platform for the future being laid today will provide fertile ground for the realization of your boldest, most audacious ideas," the First Deputy Prime Minister concluded.

A series of thematic programs, "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects," is being held at the National Center "Russia." They are dedicated to the national development goals outlined in Presidential Decree No. 309.

Document

Order No. 3773-r of December 12, 2025

At the President's direction, the Government has developed a program for the preservation of cultural heritage sites of the peoples of Russia, covering the period 2025–2045, and an action plan for its implementation. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving this document.

The main goal of the new program is to preserve the country's cultural and historical heritage for current and future generations. Its implementation will increase the number of restored historical and cultural monuments and integrate them into economic use.

To achieve this goal, the program includes specific mechanisms. These include subsidies to regions and non-profit organizations for cultural heritage preservation activities, as well as subsidized loans to entrepreneurs for the restoration of such sites. It is expected that at least 1,000 historic buildings will be restored by 2030 using this subsidized instrument, and at least 800 more by 2045. Investors will be able to become property owners, provided they comply with cultural heritage preservation obligations.

The program also includes an inventory of cultural heritage sites included in the state register and in need of restoration. These sites will then be prioritized for economic development, allowing for a precise determination of the funding, resources, and time required to restore them to their proper condition.

Furthermore, it is planned to improve legislation in the area of preserving cultural heritage sites, specifically by eliminating excessive requirements for work, reducing the timeframe for reviewing and approving project documentation and conducting state historical and cultural assessments, creating conditions for the development of human resources, including for the preservation of the Russian school of restoration, and completing work on approving territorial boundaries, protected areas, and urban planning regulations in settlements designated as historic settlements. Furthermore, the development of historic settlements and key settlements should be synchronized with the implementation of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality."

As a result of the program's implementation, the share of restored cultural heritage sites included in the unified register of historical and cultural monuments will increase to 90% by 2045.

Mikhail Mishustin announced the approval of the program for the preservation of cultural heritage sites and its main objectives on December 16Government awards ceremony in the field of culture.

"We expect cultural figures to play an active role in fulfilling these tasks. Your dedication and professionalism are absolutely indispensable here," the Prime Minister emphasized.
