Moscow traditionally takes an active part in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. About the projects presented at the capital’s stand this year, he told in hisblogSergey Sobyanin.
“Our stand at SPIEF-2026 is a maximally interactive space presenting the most important achievements of Moscow at present and plans for the future. We will showcase key projects in the economy, social sphere, transport, industry, and housing and communal services. Forum guests will see technologies that are already changing the lives of Muscovites today and opening up new opportunities for business.”They learn how unique battery or photonic integrated circuit productions are built by looking at the new center for urban development in Kommunarka, studying the main infrastructure facilities of the capital — an innovative school, the renovated Leningradsky railway station, the Moscow shipyard, and much more. The exhibition demonstrates the capital’s experience in developing and implementing advanced solutions: from infrastructure development to large-scale digital transformation,” wrote Sergey Sobyanin.
Moscow has led the National Investment Climate Rating and the National Quality of Life Rating among Russian Federation subjects for the seventh consecutive year, compiled by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. This is the result of systematic work on developing infrastructure and attracting investments.
On the multimedia screen, you can see the main results of the development of the economy, social sphere, construction, cultural sector, transport infrastructure, industry of Moscow, and other branches of the urban economy.
“For example, the capital is a leader in Europe and America in terms of metro development pace and was the first in the world to launch regular fully driverless tram service with passengers. And the Moscowrenovation programis the largest and most extensive urban housing renewal project in the world. It not only allows city residents to be relocated from old buildings to modern housing, but also gives an impulse to the development of the Russian economy,” added the Mayor of Moscow.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see how one of the most advanced platforms for small-volume procurement operates — the capital’ssupplier portal. Using interactive technologies, forum guests learn about the role public procurement plays in Moscow’s economy, the benefits it brings to business and the city, and how suppliers and public customers interact in different regions of our country.
Moscow’s open strategy until 2040 will outline the goals set for the near future.
A separate section of the exposition is dedicated to the national center «Russia», which is being implemented by the Urban Development Complex on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin. The object, intended to become one of the main public spaces of Moscow, will be erected on the territory of the Expocenter on the Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment and will be able to accommodate up to 20,000 visitors simultaneously.
Putin and Sobyanin have launched the construction of the new national center “Russia”
In digital format, it represents the train of the future of the high-speed line (HSL) Moscow — Saint Petersburg. It will unite the Central and Northwestern transport hubs of the country, home to 40 million people. The trip between the two capitals at a speed of up to 400 kilometers per hour will take just over two hours. Moscow actively participates in the project as a shareholder and investor alongside other regions.
Over five years, the volume of manufacturing industries in the city has more than doubled. This is the responsibility of the capital’s Department of Investment and Industrial Policy. The share of high-tech sectors in the revenue of Moscow’s industry is steadily growing: from 30 percent in 2020 to 38 percent in 2025, and by 2030 the figure will exceed 50 percent.
“We are the first in the country in the fields of radio electronics, electric vehicle manufacturing, aviation, rocket and space, and the medical industry. In the capital, a modern industrial infrastructure is actively expanding: by 2030, it will increase more than twofold – to 25 million square meters. More than 755 thousand Muscovites are employed in enterprises of Moscow today – every tenth working resident of the capital,” noted Sergey Sobyanin.
Industry
One of the key exhibits of the Moscow stand will be a model of the largest robotized production cluster of electric batteries in the Russian Federation, designed to practically fully meet the needs of the domestic market — eight gigawatt-hours per year — and to stop depending on foreign supplies. The cluster will be created on the basis of OEC “Technopolis Moscow,” the project is being implemented together with the enterprise “Renera” of the state corporation “Rosatom” and the company “INESIS,” organized by the EC “EFCO.”
By the level of equipment and automation, two new factories will become some of the most modern and environmentally friendly in the world. The length of the enterprise lines will exceed 4.5 kilometers, and the level of automation will approach 100 percent.
A total of 700 robots will be installed in production, combined into 20 complexes. The “Renera” plant will be able to produce products at a rate of one cell per second. The enterprise’s capacity will be 18 million accumulator cells (50 thousand batteries) per year for electric cars, electric buses, trams, river electric vessels, electric bicycles, electric scooters, and other technology. The capacities of “INESIS” will be calculated at 15 million cells per year.
Guests looked inside the Moscow Center of Photonics, which opened at the end of 2025. This is the only enterprise in Russia for the mass production of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Such devices are indispensable for the deployment of 5G networks, the development of artificial intelligence, the construction of new data processing centers, and much more.
The uniqueness of production lies in the application of three technologies simultaneously, increasing the data transmission speed by up to 100 times compared to conventional devices. For example, transmitting a standard 4K quality film currently can take from 45 minutes to an hour. With the use of FIS in the future, such a data volume will be downloaded in 30 seconds. Moreover, photon integral systems allow reducing power consumption as well as cutting the final production cost by up to 50 percent.
For familiarization with the results of work on import substitution in the energy sector of Moscow, forum guests are presented with a model of the “Rudnevo” hot-water boiler house with a capacity of 39 megawatts, designed and built by specialists of JSC “Mosgaz.” The fully automated facility operates based on domestic software.
Construction
The interactive model of “Luzhniki” tells about the transformation of the capital’s main sports center. The key visual solution is the division of the structure into two meaningful parts: “Summer” and “Winter.” The summer side demonstrates the activity of the sun and water, the fountain comes to life thanks to dynamic lighting. The winter side transforms the water surface of the fountain into a large city skating rink. The complex of Moscow’s urban economy is responsible for the construction and renovation of the facilities.
The construction industry plays a crucial role in the capital’s economy.
“Since 2011, more than 170 million square meters of various real estate have been constructed in the capital — essentially, another ‘city within a city’ with a population of over three million people,” said Sergey Sobyanin.
Special attention on the Moscow stand is given to future objects — projects whose construction will be carried out using the most modern technologies. Among them are social facilities, transport infrastructure development, as well as the creation of new economic centers and the construction of megaprojects, such as the new MSTU “STANKIN” campus, the inter-museum depository-exhibition complex, and the super-college. All of them form a unique urban development project — one of Moscow’s new urban centers in Kommunarka.
MGTU “STANKIN” is a unique federal-scale project that will eventually become an educational campus of a world-class level. For the first time in Russia, it will unite academic studies, fundamental science, and real high-tech manufacturing on one territory. The model will allow familiarization with the future building project and will demonstrate how competent urban planning and design directly influence the development of a key direction for the country’s technological leadership — machine-tool industry.

Transport
On the stand, guests also learn about the project of the capital’s Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development. For example, about the recently opened Leningrad station, which will serve as an example of updating passenger infrastructure for other stations in our country.
In recent years, Moscow has taken first place in Europe in terms of the development rate of railway frameworks. Since 2010, the high-speed rail transport network has increased by 2.4 times — up to 444 metro stations.Moscow Central Ring(MTSK) andMoscow central diameters(MCD).
Forum guests can also familiarize themselves with the city’s future plans. By 2030, two new metro lines will be opened in the capital — the Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya and the Biryulyovskaya. The total number of stations will exceed 500.
Among the key metro construction projects, the future station “Dostoevskaya” will be shown at the stand — the first new station on the Circle line since the completion of its construction in 1954. Passengers will receive a convenient transfer from the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line to the Circle line. The travel time from the metro to the sports complex “Olympic” will be reduced from 10 minutes to one.
Today, the metro train fleet in the capital has been updated by 80 percent, and by 2030 the share of modern trains will exceed 90 percent. In just the next two years, more than 700 carriages of the modern “Moscow-2026” series will enter service on the line. The exhibition also features a model of the “Novorizhskoye” electric depot of the future Rublyovo-Arkhangelskaya metro line. The project is being implemented by the Moscow Urban Development Complex.
Visitors can also familiarize themselves with the prospects of the capital’s unmanned transport. In September 2025, Moscow became the first in the world to open regular service of a fully unmanned tram. Today, four such transport vehicles are already operating in the city; by the end of 2026, their total number will increase to 15. And by 2030, about two-thirds of the capital’s tram fleet will become unmanned.
Moreover, this year the test operation of the first unmanned train in Russia began onGrand Ring LineMetro. Software for the driverless tram and train was developed by specialists from the capital’s transport.
Moscow Shipyard — the most modern enterprise in Russia for the construction and servicing of river transport. Opened in 2025, it is capable of producing up to 40 vessels annually — for regular routes and river cruises. The first four vessels have already been launched.
Social sphere
The development of medicine, education, and social services is inseparably linked with the introduction of artificial intelligence, digitalization, and innovative infrastructural solutions. Moscow is one of the leaders in the world in the construction and commissioning of social infrastructure facilities.
Four interactive models at the Moscow Government stand demonstrate the most advanced systems and the highest standards of designing social facilities in the capital.
Medicine
The installation “Smart Reception” introduces guests to the capabilities of artificial intelligence and telemedicine.
After completing the survey, forum guests receive a personal AI podcast on their mobile phone. This is a vivid example of how technologies are making the medicine of the future accessible. Visitors can also undergo an express examination and receive an assessment of the body’s aging rate.
Sergey Sobyanin talked about how robots are used in Moscow medicine
On the model of the building of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine, one can see the operating unit with the Da Vinci robot. After construction is completed, it will become one of the largest medical facilities in the country. The building will be executed in a unique architectural concept with an installation in the form of a fractal heart.
The scale of the under-construction children’s multidisciplinary hospital can be assessed thanks to a flying helicopter, emergency fire services, and smart glass over the hall. A detailed floor plan and carousel at the site bring the model to life, and dynamic and lighting elements allow you to see the interior space of the future hospital.
Education
The model of the innovation school on Olimpiyskiy Avenue shows how modern education is arranged: the building’s retractable roof opens to reveal the classrooms, and the dynamic lighting of the stadium and projection simulations create the atmosphere of a vibrant learning space.
The layout of the techno college with an opening building and smart lighting demonstrates the logic of learning. Visitors can look inside the educational space and evaluate its functionality.
And at the bar “Drinks from Moscow colleges,” students will treat visitors to signature teas and aromatic coffee, as well as give away souvenirs: gingerbread cookies with the logos of Moscow education and bright sticker packs.
Other projects
The photo zone “Moscow — the best city on Earth” is located in the model of the elevator of the Karacharovsky mechanical plant — the leading elevator manufacturing enterprise of Russia. Inside the elevator cabin, there are 14 buttons, pressing which transfers visitors to the Moscow of today and tomorrow.
