Under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, a meeting of the organizational committee for the preparation and holding of the XIII International Forum of Technological Development “Technoprom-2026” took place, which will be held from August 26 to 28 in Novosibirsk.
At the meeting were present Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Governor of Novosibirsk Region Andrey Travnikov, Deputy Head of the United Russia faction, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Regional Policy and Local Self-Government Sergey Morozov, General Director of the Russian Scientific Foundation Vladimir Bespalov, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Aldoshin, Acting Director of the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis.G.K. Boreskova SO RAN Valery Bustiyarov, General Director of ANO “National Priorities” Sofia Malyavina and other representatives of departments, organizations, companies.
The number of participants in the “Technoprom” business program grows annually. In 2025, more than 27 thousand people took part in the forum. This allows us to conclude the importance of the venue as a place for discussion and decision-making on key issues of the country’s scientific and technological development. This year, the focus of the business program should be the implementation of national projects for technological leadership and the development of individual clusters of our industries.”Our task is to focus scientific and technological resources on priority areas and to configure management decisions to ensure the country’s technological breakthrough,” emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister.
This issue will also be discussed at the strategic session on improving the science management system under the leadership of the Chairman of the Government of Russia, Mikhail Mishustin. As a result, initiatives aimed at achieving technological leadership in priority sectors of the economy will be formed. According to Dmitry Chernyshenko, the business program of the “Technoprom” forum should continue and address key challenges.
The Deputy Prime Minister listed the issues that will be included in the agenda of the upcoming “Technoprom” forum. Among them are the formation of a new scientific research infrastructure, accelerated implementation of the results of scientific research into the economy, increased investments in the field of science from the government and business sectors, involvement of talented youth in science, development of international scientific and technological cooperation and trade-economic relations.
Dmitry Chernyshenko also instructed to include in the business program a meeting with the heads of scientific and technological development of the regions, to collect proposals from the subjects for the forum agenda, and to invite chief engineers of universities to participate.
The head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted that “Technoprom” has established itself as one of the significant events held within the framework of the Decade of Science and Technology.
“Today we see that universities and scientific organizations not only prepare highly qualified specialists, but also transform themselves according to the task of the country’s technological sovereignty. The flagship program of the Ministry, “Priority-2030,” is aimed at this, within the framework of which universities jointly with business develop innovative products and technologies demanded by the market. I am confident that the forum platform will serve to further establish close contacts between representatives of the scientific community, engineers, inventors, and the real economic sector,” said the head of the Ministry of Education and Science.
In his report, Andrey Travnikov emphasized that the “Technoprom” program, according to its architecture, includes 8 tracks.
“Track ‘From Synchrotron to Enterprise: installations of the ‘megasaience’ class will be the main business program. We are talking about how world-class installations — synchrotrons, neutron sources, accelerators — are becoming working tools for industry. We plan to show specific examples of research on megainstallations, resulting in new materials, new medicinal products, new technological solutions in production. Within the framework of the energy track, the conversation will be about renewable sources, new energy accumulators, intellectual energy networks.”Participants of the track “Chemistry Creating the Future” discuss the creation of new substances with fundamentally different specified properties. We plan to present cases about how fundamental science becomes the source of the emergence of new materials, new technologies, new technological paradigms,” said Andrey Travnikov.
Among other topics are tracks such as medicine, bioengineering, biosphere, microelectronics and instrumentation, intellectual systems — the main content of this theme will be provided by the “Sber” AI Journey conference (“Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence”).
The forum program is complemented by 11 satellite events, including the III International Cooperation Forum Russia – Africa “Education. Business. Culture – 2026”, the “CIS Innovation Forum: Health Technologies”, the International Forum in the Field of Education “Russia – China – Novosibirsk”, the VI National Technology Transfer Forum, the XX Siberian Venture Fair, and other activities.
