Experts will outline and discuss the key tasks for national digital development over the coming decade.
A strategy for technological leadership is not a short-term initiative but a fundamental turning point in building a resilient economy based on domestic innovation. Across eight national projects covering key sectors, the government and businesses have set ambitious goals to achieve global tech leadership — a goal that can no longer be separated from active digital transformation. These goals can only be met by creating a self-sufficient and competitive digital industry, which will serve as the foundation for sustainable growth.
Today, the industry is undergoing a full cycle of technological renewal to enable the emergence of future leaders who can drive innovation and shape the new tech landscape.
— Which cutting-edge digital technologies are already shaping new industrial standards, and how can the state and businesses accelerate their adoption?
— What are Russia’s prospects in the global tech race, and what competitive advantages can ensure leadership on the global market?
— What digital development priorities must be set to achieve technological leadership in the next decade?
— Where can cross-sectoral synergy boost the growth of digital technologies?

The Roscosmos panel at CIPR will serve as the first public platform for presenting the National Space Project. The document outlines Russia’s long-term goals for involving private business in the space sector, creating multi-satellite constellations, developing a national orbital station, advancing space-based nuclear energy, expanding communication services, conducting deep space research, and training personnel.

Digital transformation is no longer just a trend — it has become a key factor in business competitiveness. In recent decades, technology has radically reshaped the business landscape, making adaptability a critical success factor.
Today, companies that effectively adopt digital solutions gain a significant advantage, outperforming competitors in innovation, efficiency, and customer engagement. This is especially relevant in the new wave of digitalization, driven by generative AI, quantum computing, and autonomous systems.
The session will explore how the integration of digital solutions drives innovation, accelerates new technology deployment, and supports ongoing process improvement. Speakers will share case studies of how digital strategy is helping Russian companies move toward global tech leadership and prepare for future technological breakthroughs.
— What successful digital solutions adopted by Russian companies can serve as models of technological leadership and sustainable growth?
— What barriers hinder the development and scaling of digital initiatives?
— What role do digital ecosystems and platforms play in accelerating scientific and technological progress, and how do they impact industry standards and competitiveness?
— What business models are most promising in the era of digital transformation?
— Which sectors could become the engines of digital transformation in the coming years?

The national strategy for AI development through 2030 sets a clear direction: AI must become an integral part of the economy’s technological transformation.
As of 2025, business can no longer remain passive observers or experimenters — proactive engagement is essential.
Companies now face several challenges:
— Moving from isolated pilots to large-scale deployments with measurable economic impact;
— Creating their own product and research tracks in AI, becoming centers of technological development;
— Investing in AI skills and culture, transforming teams, processes, and decision-making frameworks;
— Participating in setting the research agenda in collaboration with academia and government to identify critical areas for national and business development.
This session will focus on how business is taking the lead in implementing the strategy, what’s already being done to achieve tech sovereignty and global competitiveness, and what remains to be done in 2025 to seize the AI-driven opportunity.
Key discussion points include:
— Government as strategic navigator: how national priorities shape investment and technology decisions, and which business sectors are key to implementing the national AI strategy.
— Business as a driver: proven practices, investments in science, education, and industrial R&D.
— AI as a core business competency: how companies are rethinking governance, R&D, and education to not just adopt AI but build new growth models around it.

Russia’s 20th-century status as a technological superpower was driven by groundbreaking technologies and underpinned by strategic national ideas supported by scientists and broader society — with dreams of space and the engineer as a national hero. In the 1990s, these ideals shifted, and much of the country’s technological foundation was lost.
In modern Russia, the goal is no longer just technological sovereignty — it is technological leadership. This national idea requires not only support but also reinvention.
How do we now define “technological leadership” as a national goal? What is needed to rally society around this vision? How can we engage companies, big tech, developers, and industry professionals in shaping Russia’s technological future?

In recent years, the path to technological independence has demanded new approaches to digital product development — especially for industrial software built from scratch.
There’s no time for slow, evolutionary growth. The solution lies in uniting expertise and resources — not only among industrial firms but through tight collaboration with the IT sector.
How can we build efficient cooperation models to deliver world-class solutions in record time?
— Collaboration models: which industrial-IT partnerships have proven successful?
— How should responsibilities and roles be distributed?
— What are the common challenges and how can they be overcome?
— Success stories: examples of fruitful cooperation among Russian companies
— What are the key success factors for joint industrial-IT projects?
— What common mistakes occur in such partnerships?

Digital transformation is no longer the end goal — the focus is shifting toward AI-driven transformation.
According to Gartner, never in 15 years of CEO surveys has a tech trend generated such interest. Executives increasingly expect CIOs to lead data-centric transformation strategies, not just digital ones.
So what does this new wave of interest in AI mean for digital-native companies?
— At what pace and through what mechanisms must Russian digital companies evolve to grow?
— What’s the next step: unified ecosystems or platformization?
— Has the time come for AI to become not just a tool but the central pillar of strategic thinking and operating systems?
— How do digital businesses define and measure the success of their transformation efforts?
