Dear participants and guests of the XIII International Forum for Technological Development TECHNOPROM-2026,
Welcome to one of the most authoritative expert platforms uniting representatives of government, business, and the scientific community!

Traditionally, the Forum is held during the Decade of Science and Technology, declared by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. As the Head of State emphasizes, it is crucial today to enhance the role of science in addressing the strategic tasks of Russia's development.

TECHNOPROM is growing increasingly popular: since 2022, the number of participants has nearly doubled – from 12,000 people representing 19 nations to almost 20,000 delegates from 33 countries last year.

The key theme of the 2026 Forum is ‘Russian Science – the Foundation of Technological Leadership’. Within this framework, participants will discuss the progress of national projects focused on technological leadership and the ‘Youth and Children’ initiative, the achievements of Russian science and high-tech industry, as well as the development and implementation of cutting-edge knowledge-intensive technologies in the economy.

Today, a comprehensive scientific and educational infrastructure is being created in Russia, including a network of modern world-class university campuses. One such campus is taking shape here, in Novosibirsk – a facility with a total area of approximately 78,000 sq. m, comprising modern laboratories, dormitories, and new buildings for the Specialized Educational and Scientific Center. In total, by the order of President Putin, a constellation of 25 student campuses is to be established in Russia by 2030. Additional opportunities for professional growth and self-realization of young people are provided by the Priority‑2030 program, advanced engineering schools, and youth laboratories.

To address complex scientific and research challenges, a network of unique megascience facilities – unrivaled anywhere in the world – is also being built. This year in the Novosibirsk Region, we are launching SKIF – Siberian Circular Photon Source – a 4+ generation synchrotron.

All these measures create the conditions for the development of Russian science and the personnel training system, thereby ensuring the achievement of technological leadership – a national goal set by President Putin.

I wish you productive work at TECHNOPROM, constructive dialogue, and impactful projects for the benefit of Russian science!

Dear participants and guests of the XIII International Forum for Technological Development — Technoprom-2026,

Welcome to Russia’s premier technology platform!

This year, the Forum’s theme is ‘Russian Science – the Foundation of Technological Leadership.’

Over the years, Technoprom has grown into a large-scale and highly significant event in the field of science, technology, and innovation. It brings together representatives from research centres, state corporations, businesses, and government authorities, creating a unique atmosphere for dialogue and cooperation.

Each year, participants address strategic issues of industrial development and make decisions aimed at achieving the objectives set by the President of the Russian Federation.

As one of Russia’s leading science and innovation hubs, the Novosibirsk Region has become a key platform for uniting the efforts of all regions in pursuit of these ambitious goals.

The highlight of the year will be the inauguration of a megascience-class facility — SKIF (Siberian Circular Photon Source) in the science town of Koltsovo. The launch of this facility will provide a powerful boost to both fundamental and applied science.

Technoprom-2026 takes place during the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia, which lends the Forum particular significance. The programme includes presentations from state corporations, development institutions, research organisations, and higher education institutions.

During the forthcoming discussions, panel sessions, and working meetings, participants will not only address current challenges but also conclude promising agreements and launch joint projects — all of which will serve as a foundation for further strengthening Russia’s technological sovereignty.

I firmly believe that Technoprom-2026 will mark a significant step towards Russia’s technological leadership. I wish you all productive work, constructive dialogue, and successful implementation of your plans. May your ideas and initiatives make a substantial contribution to the development of our nation!
