Rosatom Drives Russia’s New Digital Reality
The Russian state nuclear corporation is using next-gen IT platforms to digitize and automate its most complex industrial operations — and it's building for export.
New Frontiers in Digital Manufacturing
Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear holding company, has launched a sweeping digital transformation of its industrial operations. The focus: automating and optimizing production at scale using domestically developed IT solutions.
According to Rosatom’s Director for IT and Digital Technologies, Evgeny Abakumov, digital innovation is a cornerstone of sustainable growth. By investing in automation, the company aims to minimize human error while boosting productivity. This push aligns with broader trends in the global energy sector, where major firms are retooling their business processes around modern digital platforms.
Over the next few years, Rosatom plans to transition to Russian-made platforms and scale up homegrown tools for managing the full lifecycle of its assets — from design to decommissioning.
Streamlining the Industrial Chain
One of Rosatom’s key goals is the end-to-end automation of complex production chains. The corporation is deploying integrated software platforms that unify disparate systems and workflows into a single digital environment. These technologies are not limited to domestic use — they are also being developed with international deployment in mind.
At the 2025 Digital Industry of Industrial Russia conference, Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev explained that the company is not just a major customer of Russian IT innovation, but also a creator. Rosatom develops solutions for critical infrastructure and operates data centers across the country.
The company’s software ecosystem supports Russia’s quest for technological self-reliance. Experts report that the nuclear industry now has access to a full stack of domestic solutions — from PLM systems and CAE tools to BIM technology.
In particular, Rosatom is managing the lifecycle of a tokamak fusion reactor — part of the national 'New Atomic and Energy Technologies' initiative — entirely on Russian-developed software.
Securing Critical Infrastructure
One of Rosatom’s flagship initiatives is its Infrastructure IoT Platform. Built with modularity and flexibility in mind, the platform integrates with digital building twins (BIM), includes SCADA for equipment control, and supports accident prevention systems. It can be quickly adapted across multiple industries and has passed certification from Russia’s FSTEC for use in critical infrastructure.
Rosatom also launched a secure data center management solution to protect critical digital assets. These facilities — including Kalininsky near Kalinin NPP, Innopolis in Tatarstan, Xelent in St. Petersburg, and StoreData in Moscow — provide secure environments for storage, processing, and data exchange. Redundancy is built in through multiple sites, backup capacity, and strict adherence to Russia’s cybersecurity regulations.
The company’s cloud platform, ATOMCLOUD, supports virtual IT infrastructure management with encryption, firewall protection, and access controls. Rosatom’s low-code platform — built on microservice architecture with AI modules — allows developers to rapidly deploy enterprise applications while cutting development time in half.
From National Strategy to Global Software Export
Rosatom isn’t just digitizing for its own use — it’s building an export-ready platform for international deployment. For now, these tools are being used in nuclear construction projects overseas, but the company sees broader opportunities. Its vision is to deliver Russian-made IT solutions bundled into large-scale infrastructure deals.
International partners are being offered a range of nuclear power plant models, from small modular units to high-capacity facilities. Rosatom believes these projects can also double as sites for secure data centers — a concept that received backing at the latest IAEA conference.
