Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko visited the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone. In particular, the Deputy Prime Minister assessed the developments of the robotics center and the demonstration zone of high-level autonomous driving, as well as a specialized incubator of unmanned technologies and a drone certification center.

Let us recall that Dmitry Chernyshenko is taking part in the working visit of President Vladimir Putin to China as part of the delegation.

"The day before, at a meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO member states in China, our President Vladimir Putin noted the expansion of ties between its members in the field of science and education. Today, about 300 Russian and 500 Chinese organizations are implementing or planning to implement more than a thousand joint scientific projects," the Russian Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

He added that the experience of the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone is applicable to the creation of technology parks as part of world-class campuses. It is there that resident companies will develop new innovative products for the regions of the Russian Federation.

The Russian Deputy Prime Minister reported that a number of state support measures have been launched in Russia within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children" for universities that are engaged in developments for strategically important industries. For example, MSTU "Stankin" as a participant in the "Priority-2030" program presented developments in the field of robotics and unmanned aircraft systems, and the Southern Federal University, within the framework of the advanced engineering school, trains highly qualified engineers in the field of mechatronics and robotics.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted the high level of scientific cooperation between Russia and China. The most popular areas of joint projects are: mathematical and natural sciences, engineering, technology and technical sciences, social sciences, health care and medicine.

The working group on high technologies and innovations and the subcommission on scientific and technical cooperation operate on a permanent basis. The key document is the "road map" of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the field of science, technology and innovations for the period up to 2025.

There is also a competitive selection of scientific projects from the relevant ministries of Russia and China. This year alone, 15 of them were supported. The topics include advanced materials and high-precision chemical industry, information technology, new transport systems and other areas.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the launch of interesting projects that were prepared within the framework of the subcommittee on scientific, technological and innovative development and the working group can be observed in the near future.

It should be noted that the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone has representative offices of more than 26,000 companies whose activities are focused on the development of such technological industries as information technology, the automotive industry, biotechnology and life sciences, robotics and intelligent manufacturing. One of the features is the focus on the development of environmentally friendly technologies.

The high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone is designed to support large-scale operation of high-level autonomous vehicles. Test licenses have been issued to 35 companies for more than 1,000 vehicles.

The exposition of the robotics center "Big World of Robots" presents 50 robots of different functionality from 30 companies. Including sorting robots, baristas, loaders, surgical, diagnostic robots, a fish robot for detecting water pollution and others.

The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized that the field of artificial intelligence is one of the most promising for cooperation. President Vladimir Putin instructed to promote cooperation with the People's Republic of China in the field of AI in December at the conference "Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence." Three Chinese associations joined the International Alliance in the Field of AI, created in Russia last year.
