During his working visit, Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko got acquainted with the results of the implementation of artificial intelligence in various sectors of the economy, social life and public administration in the Novosibirsk Region. As the Deputy Prime Minister noted, local developments using artificial intelligence have a high potential for replication across the country.

Dmitry Grigorenko visited the Research Center for Artificial Intelligence of the Novosibirsk National Research State University, as well as the technopark of the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, where IT companies are working on the creation and implementation of promising AI solutions. The Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff noted that Novosibirsk is one of the centers for the development of information technology and artificial intelligence.

"Our goal is to develop high-quality AI solutions and implement them on a large scale. This is only possible if AI development brings tangible results and real benefits. Novosibirsk has created decent conditions for the development of artificial intelligence. It has a strong scientific base and a progressive startup community. Thanks to this, the development of artificial intelligence here is parallel to the implementation, and not in isolation from it. It is important that the region itself is interested in using its AI developments and implements them in local educational institutions, enterprises and even in the work of government agencies," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

One of the most important areas of implementation of artificial intelligence is public administration. In the Novosibirsk region, AI assistants are being implemented, which allow optimizing the work of civil servants. Thus, an AI expert in customer centricity helps process citizens' requests and prepare the most understandable and clear answers, an AI assistant in the electronic document management system – quickly find the necessary information, and an AI stenographer – generate meeting minutes. Services have already begun to be implemented in the work of regional and municipal authorities.

In addition, the region has implemented the Safe City video analytics system, which helps monitor public order and search for offenders. More than 2.6 thousand criminals were detained with the help of the system. Novosibirsk specialists also created and implemented an AI service for searching for missing children using city video cameras. In less than two months of the service's operation, six children were found with its help.

Since 2025, the Novosibirsk Region has been actively introducing AI technologies into healthcare: AI is used to interpret X-ray and CT scan data. Since the beginning of the year, the system has processed over 361 thousand images. AI is used as an assistant for analyzing medical data, but the final diagnosis remains with the specialist. In addition, Novosibirsk doctors use voice input technology based on a neural network. It reduces the likelihood of errors in medical documentation. Today, the technology has been implemented in 71 medical institutions in the region.

"The use of artificial intelligence is justified for specific tasks. We try to monitor all developments, but when we approach the stage of large-scale implementation, we look at the expected result – improved quality of services, fundamentally new services for our citizens or a reduction in our labor costs. If we see successful developments, we try to quickly repeat them, but at the same time we can develop our own solutions. As examples, I can cite the analysis of X-ray and computed tomography data, the Safe City video analytics system. In the field of voice analytics and speech generation, this is the well-known robot Nikolai, a voice keyboard for doctors, intelligent assistants for civil servants. All these solutions both improve the quality of services for citizens and seriously reduce labor costs for our colleagues," said Andrey Travnikov, Governor of the Novosibirsk Region.

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 automobile checkpoint across the state border Kani-Kurgan

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.

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.

From the 65th to the 102nd km, three lanes will be arranged in each direction, from the 102nd to the 124th km – two lanes. In addition, secondary passages for local transport will appear in populated areas. During the reconstruction, overhead pedestrian crossings and interchanges will be built to eliminate intersections with other roads at the same level. High-speed traffic without traffic lights will be ensured. This will allow transit transport to pass freely without interfering with the movement of residents of Naro-Fominsk, Balabanovo and Obninsk. The reconstruction work is carried out in two stages and is distributed across the territories of the two regions. A total of about 2.5 million square meters of asphalt concrete has already been laid at the site, which is 553 thousand. t,” said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the roadbed construction work on the section from the 65th to the 86th km is nearing completion, the road surface is 68% complete – this is 353 thousand tons of asphalt concrete layers. All three interchanges are currently being actively built. The overall readiness on the first section from the 65th to the 86th km within the Moscow Region is 65%, and on the second section on the territory of the Kaluga Region from the 86th to the 124th km, the work has been completed by 25% of the planned volume.

Also, 28 km of parapet fencing out of the planned 39 km have been installed here today. At the same time, the installation of culverts is at a high level of readiness.

On the section from the 86th to the 124th km, 1.19 million cubic meters of roadbed were filled, 200 thousand tons of asphalt concrete were installed. Also, specialists began construction of reinforced soil embankments, which pass through the entire city of Balabanovo and partially through the city of Obninsk.

The head of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, specified that a total of 33 artificial structures are being erected at the site. These are bridges, overpasses, an overpass, and overground pedestrian crossings.

"The first stage of reconstruction in the Moscow Region involves the construction of eight artificial structures, five of which are in a high state of readiness. It should be noted that in general in this region we have reached the final stage of construction and installation works. As for the second stage, on the site within the borders of the Kaluga Region it is planned to build 25 artificial structures, including 15 overpasses, one flyover, three bridges and six overground pedestrian crossings. It is noteworthy that the spans of these overground pedestrian crossings are made of wood-composite materials, ensuring their environmental friendliness. Work is currently underway on 23 structures. At the same time, we are building reinforced soil retaining walls in Balabanovo and Obninsk with overpasses providing passage for local residents," noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.

Currently, over a thousand people and more than 300 units of special equipment are involved in the project.
