Since 2022, nearly 5,000 startups with total revenue exceeding 2.8 billion rubles have been registered within the framework of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform in Russia, emphasized Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, welcoming guests and participants of the IV All-Russian Technological Entrepreneurship Forum "TechPred-2025."

"You are, in many ways, shaping the culture of tech entrepreneurship in modern Russia. You maintain a constant dialogue with young people, helping them promote science-intensive startups. Thanks to your coordinated teamwork, nearly 5,000 startups have registered on the platform in three years, with a total revenue of over 2.8 billion rubles."

Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation

Speaking at the plenary discussion "The Superposition Principle: Towards a Technological Breakthrough by Combining Efforts," Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Olga Petrova noted:

"The key task we see as the Ministry of Science and Higher Education is to embed a culture of technological entrepreneurship into our educational environment, making it a norm that allows us to build a seamless path from a student's idea to the creation of a multidisciplinary technology center. And here, the strength of our interdepartmental cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Development and the coordinated work of all operators of the 'Technology' federal project are crucial."

Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation

In turn, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Kolesnikov noted:

Together with our colleagues from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, we've truly strived to provide all kinds of support—from the most basic stage of student startups to IPOs. And it's gratifying to know that, thanks to our colleagues from Innopraktika, who operate the "Vzlet – From Startup to IPO" program, we've already supported one company through the end of the year to go public. Two companies are also in the process of listing on investment platforms. So, the process has begun, even though we only launched this support program in the middle of this year."

Maxim Kolesnikov, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation

This year, the ministries combined initiatives to support technology entrepreneurship and the development of small technology companies—the University Technical Representative Platform of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and the "Takeoff: From Startup to IPO" program of the Ministry of Economic Development—under the federal project "Technology." These measures are aimed at increasing the number of small technology companies in Russia, increasing their revenue, and engaging in the development of technological sovereignty.

According to Maxim Kolesnikov, the ministry's registry already contains over 6,300 MTCs, and these companies are demonstrating very strong growth rates (an average of 35% per year). Last year, their combined revenue exceeded 1 trillion rubles, and approximately 26,000 intellectual property rights have been registered.

The plenary session was also attended by Rifkat Minnikhanov, President of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan; Dmitry Zauers, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprombank; Viktor Avdeev, Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering and New Materials at Lomonosov Moscow State University; Nikita Shnyrev, General Director of the ANO "Human Capital Development"; and Antony Shvindt, Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Government Commission for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia.

The All-Russian Forum of Technological Entrepreneurship is the flagship event of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform, which became part of the federal "Technology" project of the "Efficient and Competitive Economy" national project in the spring of 2025. The event has been held since 2022 and is the country's leading platform for discussing effective approaches to startup creation, research commercialization, and the development of technological entrepreneurship in Russian universities.

In 2025, the Forum will be organized by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science jointly with the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, with the Moscow Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development serving as a co-organizer. The Republic of Tatarstan will serve as a partner region.

Audiences seek not only spectacle but also new meanings in film and TV series characters that reflect the current values of Russian society, said Daria Pugacheva, Director of the Research Department at Gazprom-Media Holding.

She presented a large-scale study of the hero's image in Russian films and TV series, conducted by the Holding last year. It was based on interviews with experts, a semiotic analysis of Russian cinema over the past 40 years, and surveys of Russians. The study identified 43 hero archetypes.

"The study has become a useful tool for the Holding's content strategy, and we are already beginning to rely on the created archetype system in film production. Importantly, the meeting participants found much in our study that is useful for solving their professional problems and for further practical application in the industry."

Daria Pugacheva, Director of the Research Department at Gazprom-Media Holding
