Rosatom Office Named Best Smart Office in Forbes Special Ranking

Rethinking the Modern Workplace

The Forbes special ranking, titled Top Non-Headquarters Offices of Russian Companies, examines best practices for creating employee-centric workspaces. Companies are increasingly investing in environments that enhance productivity, and regional offices are no longer secondary to headquarters. In many cases, they are setting new industry benchmarks. These spaces are becoming catalysts for corporate culture and operational performance. The ranking assessed a wide range of metrics, from building quality and location to environmental performance and the integration of advanced technologies.

The Rosatom 2.0 office is located in Moscow in a building constructed in 1956 on Kitaygorodsky Proezd. The space blends high-tech and eco-inspired design elements to create a comfortable, technology-driven environment. The open common area uses neutral tones, workstations are unassigned for both executives and staff, and dedicated rooms support focused work, meetings, and rest.

All engineering infrastructure – lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and more – is controlled by an intelligent system built on an infrastructure IoT platform. The office functions as a digital ecosystem that optimizes resource consumption while enhancing daily comfort and safety for employees. The solution was developed entirely by Russian IT specialists. The infrastructure IoT platform is included in the Unified Register of Russian Software, complies with FSTEC Russia requirements, and is already deployed in dozens of projects related to housing and utilities management and building engineering systems.

The Russian Internet of Things market continues to show steady growth despite current challenges. We are seeing substantial demand growth from both corporate customers and private users. A key driver of the industry’s development is domestic IoT platforms, including our cloud products EKF Connect Industry and EKF Connect Home. It is important to note that new solutions are not only capable of replacing foreign products that are no longer available in our market, but can also go a step further by incorporating current trends and anticipating future opportunities

The Internet of Things-based solution allows organizations to quickly deploy automated process control systems of any complexity. It is designed to address critical needs when replacing foreign analog systems.

The infrastructure IoT platform collects, processes, and visualizes engineering equipment data in real time, a core requirement for a fully functional smart office. The platform also includes built-in integration with building digital twins based on BIM models. At the central office of AO Rosatom Infrastrukturnye resheniya, a demonstration laboratory showcases how an automated operational dispatch management system for engineering systems functions in practice.

Winning the Forbes ranking represents recognition from a leading business publication and industry experts. It demonstrates successful deployment of modern IoT technologies within corporate infrastructure by a Russian holding company. Projects like this are becoming reference models for both corporate and public-sector digital building initiatives, helping create more comfortable and employee-friendly work environments.

The adoption of infrastructure IT solutions reflects rising digital maturity in Russia’s corporate sector. Domestic IoT technologies are increasingly competitive with foreign smart office platforms. Analysts expect local IoT-based platforms to gain market share and potentially become a standard across the country’s corporate segment. Developed entirely by Russian specialists, such digital systems also contribute to strengthening national digital sovereignty.
