Technologies to Ensure Independence
The Decade of Science and Technology declared by the Russian president has not only become an integral part of state policy, as manifested in a variety of initiatives, but also an effective tool for the development of high-tech companies. Large companies have been actively involved since the start of the Decade of Science and Technology through thematic initiatives, with Rosatom State Corporation serving as the pioneer. Now the list of partners is expanding. In particular, in June 2024, agreements were signed with United Engine Corporation, Uralchem, the Skolkovo Foundation, and the Roscosmos State Corporation at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The results of scientists’ activities and products made using new technologies should play an increasingly larger role in society and aim to solve the most pressing development problems throughout the country. What tools does the Decade of Science and Technology provide to companies for this purpose? What issues are companies able to solve by becoming involved in the Decade of Science and Technology? How and why should companies join these thematic initiatives?
