Almost 93 thousand quotation sessions took place on the supplier portal in January-June 2025. This figure increased by more than 20 percent compared to the same period last year, Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

"Quotation sessions are an effective tool for small-volume procurement, which is convenient and beneficial for both businesses and government customers. In the first half of the year, almost 93 thousand mini-auctions were held on the supplier portal – 22 percent more than in the first six months of 2024. The procedures allowed state and municipal institutions to save 3.5 billion rubles by reducing the initial contract price. On average, seven entrepreneurs bid for one transaction during quotation sessions, and the purchase price is reduced by 14 percent. In the first half of the year, construction and household goods, household appliances, information technology products, communications equipment and electronics were most often purchased on the portal – the total number of sessions for them amounted to almost 25 thousand," said Maria Bagreeva.

Moscow customers can purchase goods worth up to five million rubles, and works and services worth up to three million rubles, as part of mini-auctions on the supplier portal. The platform concludes contracts with both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals, which contributes to the development of small and medium-sized businesses and an increase in offers in the catalog.

"The supplier portal works like a digital store – contracts are concluded and executed remotely, without paper documents, using an electronic signature. Thanks to the resource, businesses have quick access to participation in government procurement and expansion of sales markets, and the city, in the face of growing competition, receives the best offers in terms of price and quality from suppliers throughout Russia. The leaders in terms of the volume of contracts concluded during quotation sessions in the first half of this year included entrepreneurs from Moscow, who concluded more than 48.8 thousand transactions for 11.6 billion rubles, the Moscow Region – 15.9 thousand contracts for 3.9 billion rubles, St. Petersburg – 1.9 thousand contracts for 448 million, the Ryazan Region – 297 transactions for 171.7 million and the Perm Territory – 1844 contracts for 166.1 million," noted the head of the capital's Department of Competition Policy.

How neural network algorithms help entrepreneurs

The supplier portal attracts businesses with the opportunity to participate in small-volume interregional purchases, high digitalization and transaction efficiency. Thanks to the online format, suppliers can often start shipping products on the day the contract is signed. The platform develops additional services using artificial intelligence – neural network algorithms help when filling out product cards, automatically determining the category of the uploaded product based on its image.

In the capital Department of Information Technology also reminded about other digital opportunities of the supplier portal. Thus, in 2022, an automatic bidding bot was launched on the resource – a convenient online tool that allows entrepreneurs to participate in several quotation sessions at once, without interfering with other participants making their offers. And in 2023, Moscow customers became able to purchase identical products through joint quotation sessions. Thanks to this, state and municipal institutions of Moscow can combine their needs and, by increasing the volume of purchases, attract more suppliers to the session. This increases competition between entrepreneurs and allows customers to save budget funds.

Moscow's contract system consistently demonstrates high efficiency. The capital is the leader inNational Procurement Transparency RatingBy standardizing procedures, introducing digital technologies and involving small businesses, Moscow government procurement ensures savings at all stages of the process.

Moscow is the largest center for the development of creative industries in the country. Cinema, music, video games, publishing, design, theater and advertising not only make the lives of city residents brighter, but have also established themselves as the most important sector of the capital's economy. Its share in the total volume of gross regional product in 2023 reached 10.1 percent, which is 3.3 trillion rubles. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about the development of creative industries in his blog.

"Over the past five years, the number of organizations and individual entrepreneurs in this area has grown by 11.7 percent and has already exceeded 113 thousand. Accordingly, more and more Muscovites find themselves in creative professions. The revenue of companies is also growing steadily: last year, the creative industries sector earned 103.8 percent more than in 2019 — 6.7 trillion rubles," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Movie

Despite sanctions and other challenges of recent years, the capital's film industry is on the rise. More than 80 percent of Russian films and TV series are shot in Moscow.

Last year, about 120 projects were filmed on the sites of the Moscow film cluster, which is 2.5 times more than in 2023. Among them are the leaders of the distribution and film platforms of 2024-2025: "Not on the Lists", "Kholop-2", "The Master and Margarita", "Led-3", "Baba Yaga Saves the New Year", "The Last Knight. Legacy", "One Hundred Years Ago", "The Flying Ship", "The Word of a Boy. Blood on the Asphalt" and others.

The Moscow Film Cluster, created on the initiative of the Moscow Government, currently unites several sites. Among them is the legendary Gorky Film Studio, where large-scale work on modernizing the historical territory on Sergei Eisenstein Street and the site in Valdaisky Proyezd will be completed by the end of the year. The modern full-cycle film factory Moskino on Ryazansky Prospekt has also become part of the film cluster. In addition, a super-modern complex has been created – the Moskino film park in TiNAO. Its construction is ongoing, now there are 24 natural sites in the film park, and by 2030 there will be 70. Any ideas of film crews can be realized here.

In addition, the cluster includes a film platform. "Moschino"— a convenient service for professionals, where in a couple of clicks you can rent a location for filming not only at a film studio, but also in the city, as well as learn about grants, rent costumes, props and much more. Over the past year, the platform has been used 1.7 million times.

In the new season of the project "Summer in Moscow" Anyone can get to know the films, the process of their creation, and learn more about the history of cinema. Guests are invited to the Moskino Cinema Park, the Gorky Film Studio, and many themed areas on the capital's boulevards.

The Moskino cinema park organizes exciting events for city residents and guests of the capital as part of the Cinema Weekend project. These are dozens of master classes, staged filming based on favorite Soviet and Russian films, creative evenings and lectures by film industry professionals, performances by musicians, plays and film screenings in the cinema of the same name.

IT and video games

There are over 33,000 organizations involved in the capital's IT and video game industry. Their total annual revenue last year exceeded 3.9 trillion rubles.

"The industry is developing rapidly. And as usually happens, in such periods the main problem is a huge shortage of personnel. In one of the previous posts I already said that Moscow colleges offer new

specialties, including a developer of computer games, augmented and virtual reality. At the same time, we provide support to professionals. The Agency for Creative Industries implemented 125 projects in 2024, including the accelerator for indie developers “Video Game Factory,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

"Video Game Factory" provides full support for developers – from the idea to finding investors. The accelerator holds educational lectures and webinars, Q&A sessions, and works with curators. Currently, 60 pilot versions of games in different genres have been created. Among them are a detective story based on the works of Mikhail Bulgakov, an adventure quest based on the fairy tales of Alexander Pushkin, and a puzzle in the interiors of a spaceship.

Moscow game developers have long needed their own space, so in 2025, the first video game and animation cluster in Russia will open in the Skolkovo Innovation Center. Its residents will be leading Russian development companies and animation studios. Uniting under one roof, they will be able to create video games of any type and complexity. The cluster will unite all stages of content production and promotion – from training specialists to support in promotion in foreign markets.

Residents will have access to offices, meeting rooms, server rooms, a motion capture studio, a space for sound recording, a lecture hall, a conference hall, an exhibition area and much more.

Publishing

There are about 12 thousand organizations engaged in publishing activities in Moscow – this is 10.6 percent of all companies in the creative industries. Total revenue last year amounted to about 349.1 billion rubles.

This industry also does not remain without city support. The Agency for Creative Industries is implementing the project "Publishing Seasons": at the largest International Fair of Intellectual Literature Non/fiction, Moscow publishers and illustrators can present their products free of charge.

Last year, the Moscow International Publishing Week was held for the first time in the capital. Over the course of four days, more than 45 publishers from 13 countries took part in it – Argentina, Brazil, China, Serbia and others. During this time, over 200 meetings of representatives of the book market took place, 34 export contracts were concluded for the publication of books with a total circulation of 55 thousand copies.

Since 2023, under the auspices of the Moscow Agency for Creative Industries, a business mission of Moscow publishing houses to China has been carried out annually at the Shanghai International Children's Book Fair.

And now, as part of the project "Summer in Moscow" You can buy books in pavilions on Moscow boulevards.
