Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the state commission to combat illegal trafficking of industrial products.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the State Commission on Combating Illegal Trafficking of Industrial Products. The event was attended by the heads of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia Maxim Reshetnikov, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East Alexey Chekunkov, the Federal Tax Service of Russia Daniil Egorov, the Federal Customs Service of Russia Valery Pikalyov, the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology Anton Shalayev, Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova, representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Federal Security Service of Russia, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Rosselkhoznadzor, Rosstat, Rospatent, Roszdravnadzor, and other agencies and organizations, as well as the heads of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The meeting participants approved the new Strategy for Combating Illegal Trafficking of Industrial Products through 2030, as well as the implementation plan. Denis Manturov outlined the Strategy's priority areas, including improving the institution of industrial product conformity assessment and oversight, finalizing the development of regulatory solutions to curb the online sale of illegal goods, and eliminating fictitious manufacturers passing off goods of unknown origin as Russian.

Denis Manturov also noted that product identification marking is an example of an effective way to combat illegal product trafficking. This marking tool already covers 33 product groups, and experiments are underway on 12 more.

"The operator, CRPT, has invested over 100 billion rubles in private investment into the creation of the labeling system. And we see the unique effectiveness of this tool. The government and businesses have collectively received approximately 2 trillion rubles in additional revenue from the cleansing of the economy and the release of demand. Importantly, the labeling system is not only scalable to new industries but is also expanding with key functionality. Specifically, this concerns the automatic prevention of illegal product sales to consumers at checkout. A similar mechanism is being developed to address the supply of unsafe products to social institutions," the First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

One of the key objectives of the updated Strategy is the effective implementation of state oversight over certain types of products. Denis Manturov emphasized the need to reinstate this oversight for certain building materials: cement, cables, heating radiators, and other products.

"During the year of the experiment, Rosstandart conducted approximately 35,000 preventative and control measures. Based on these results, we have observed a decline in the number of detected violations, from 91% in January to 68% currently. This positive shift is also confirmed by construction associations, which have recorded a decline in the volume of unsafe products on the market. Therefore, there are objective grounds for resuming state oversight of these product categories," the First Deputy Prime Minister noted.

"The strategy includes an analysis of the results achieved in combating illegal trafficking of industrial products over the past five years. It also assesses the current situation, identifies key issues, mechanisms, and measures for implementing the Strategy, as well as the expected results," said Ekaterina Priezzheva, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.

The meeting participants supported the draft law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Industrial Policy in the Russian Federation" and the Repeal of Certain Provisions of Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation," which provides for the establishment of a separate type of state control over compliance with mandatory requirements for certain types of industrial products.

The meeting participants also approved a draft federal law developed by Rospotrebnadzor on the introduction of a system of automatic fines for violations of mandatory requirements for the labeling of goods with identification means.

The Digital Transport and Logistics Association is organizing the international forum "Digital Transportation 2025." The event, now in its third year, traditionally brings together government officials, company executives, and industry experts.

At an exhibition held as part of the forum, the Deputy Prime Minister was presented with practical examples of digital products and services used in transport: driverless cars and Russian software for the safe operation of airlines, rail transport, and transport infrastructure facilities.

Addressing the forum participants, Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev discussed in detail the Government's key areas of work in the digital sphere.

As part of the federal project "Unmanned Logistics Corridors," a roadmap for the development of highly automated vehicles through 2028 has been developed. Currently, 90 unmanned trucks are already operating on highways and testing grounds. Over the past two and a half years, unmanned trucks have traveled over 8.5 million kilometers. The key objective remains reaching Level 5 autonomy and developing a full-fledged market for ground transportation by unmanned trucks. The Ministry of Transport is drafting a federal law regulating the use of highly automated vehicles on public roads. It is scheduled to come into force in the third quarter of 2027.

The market for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) continues to develop. Class H airspace was established in July of this year. This simplifies the use of UAS at altitudes of up to 150 meters and within designated routes at altitudes of up to 3,050 meters. Russia is currently among the leaders in developing a regulatory framework for UAS use. The United States and China are also moving toward establishing separate airspace.

One of the goals is to be the first in the world to create a universal identification system for unmanned vehicles. This platform will be based on the ERA-GLONASS system, and its commercial operation will begin on March 1, 2026. Tests have already been conducted on connecting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to the system in 25 regions of the country, autonomous trucks on the M-11 highway and the Central Ring Road (TsKAD), and unmanned boats in Sakhalin and the Murmansk Region. The identification system will ensure transparency in the use of unmanned vehicles on land, water, and air.

Digital logistics solutions are developing successfully. The Electronic Shipping Documents State Information System (GIS) was launched in 2022, and its use will become mandatory on September 1, 2026. This will significantly simplify interactions between shipping parties and reduce overall time costs.

Active work to replace foreign software continues. To this end, the Ministry of Transport operates four industrial competence centers in key transport areas: maritime and river transport, aviation, rail transport and logistics, and airports. Twenty-three projects are being implemented within these centers, 12 of which have already been completed. The results of these centers' work will be scaled up to organizations across the transport sector.

"Developing the digital potential of the transport industry is essential to addressing the strategic challenges of maintaining a high level of national security and building technological sovereignty. The Russian transport sector occupies a global leadership position in the depth of its implementation of digital technologies and services. The Russian government is closely monitoring the digital maturity of the transport sector and actively promoting the further development of its digital potential," noted Vitaly Savelyev.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko welcomed participants of the Sber500 international accelerator demo day and, together with Sberbank President and Chairman of the Management Board Herman Gref, assessed the startup exhibition.

The event took place as part of the Moscow Startup Summit at SberCity. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin addressed the participants. The event also included a dialogue between Herman Gref and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, titled "Human-Centered Technologies: What Determines the Future of Megacities?"

During the opening of the demo day, Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked Sber as "a corporation that has built a true conveyor belt for startups—from the first idea to the global market." He also cited statistics: according to VTsIOM, almost half of Russians surveyed—44%—want to live in a smart city, and 14% believe they already live in one.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that 30 startups will be showcased to participants, while at the beginning of the selection funnel, there were approximately 2,000 teams from more than 40 countries.

"Almost half of the teams represented at the Sber500 accelerator demo day are DeepTech startups, with deep scientific roots. The government is currently the largest investor in science. In 2025, 665 billion rubles have been allocated for research and development. Scientists are conducting this research with federal funding through assignments, grants, and subsidies. This means that somewhere in Russia, there's a high probability that research on your topic is already underway. And you, as entrepreneurs, can convert these scientific findings and turn them into truly compelling businesses. You can apply for grants from foundations yourself, or you can use the "Science and Innovation" domain platform, which is built on the GosTech platform. You can also create a technical request on the platform and contact specific contractors who will conduct specific research on your topic," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister discussed the capabilities of the Industrial Development Fund. The Fund provides preferential loans of up to 2 billion rubles at 3-5% per annum, depending on the project, and offers the opportunity to move from pilot projects to industrial scale and integrate into the country's industrial chains.

He also paid special attention to student opportunities. "There's a project called the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform, where every student can receive a million rubles for their startup. We selected 2,500 such startups this year," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Chernyshenko added that 85% of Sber500 projects use artificial intelligence.

"This means that artificial intelligence has already become a fully accepted norm in the modern world. Thanks to Herman Oskarovich Gref, the Artificial Intelligence Alliance was created. Fourteen countries have joined. It's a serious international platform. Together with the SAPFIR agency and leading scientists with an h-index of 15 or higher, we held foresight sessions. There, we identified 10 areas of fundamental research where we expect breakthroughs in the coming years. We will present the results at Sber's traditional AI Journey conference, which will be held this November. These trends will allow you to keep your finger on the pulse and anticipate future markets," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

The event also selected 13 leading research centers in the field of artificial intelligence.

Five of the 30 startups presented on stage were selected through GigaChat's Sber500 track. Dmitry Chernyshenko explained how, at his request, GigaChat categorized these projects according to Russia's national development goals. It turned out that digitalization, human development and health, economics, and technological leadership were fully covered by the startups, while ecology and a comfortable environment were not.

In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister urged people not to focus solely on fast-moving markets, as it is important to fulfill the mission of leaving behind a country they can be proud of, one in which our children and grandchildren will live.
