Rosatom’s Digital Export: High-Tech Contributions to Asia and the Middle East

Rosatom is redefining its role in global energy by exporting digital tools, small modular reactors, and quantum computing capabilities to strengthen partner nations’ infrastructure and technological sovereignty.

From Nuclear Power to Digital Technology Leadership

As global digital transformation accelerates, Rosatom is expanding beyond conventional nuclear power. By integrating cutting-edge tools such as project management systems and quantum computing, the Russian state corporation is boosting both the efficiency and safety of energy infrastructure abroad—especially in Asia and the Middle East. These initiatives strengthen Russia’s international footprint while helping partner countries build robust technological foundations.

Multi-Dimensional Systems for Next-Gen Projects

One of Rosatom’s flagship technologies is the Multi-D Information Management System (IMS), which facilitates large-scale engineering projects like nuclear plant construction. The platform integrates several project dimensions: 3D modeling for design, 4D for scheduling, 5D for cost control, and up to 8D for human resources, equipment tracking, and financial monitoring. This unified platform enables seamless collaboration across stakeholders—from designers to contractors. The system is in use at Egypt’s El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant, where it coordinates the construction of four VVER-1200 units totaling 4.8 GW. It has also proven effective in Hungary’s Paks II project. Meanwhile, in Uzbekistan, Rosatom is building a small modular reactor (SMR) facility in Jizzakh, based on six RITM-200N reactors with a combined capacity of 330 MW. Construction began following a contract signed in May 2024.

Quantum Technology: A New Frontier for Collaboration

Beyond nuclear energy, Rosatom is exploring strategic partnerships in quantum computing—a technology that promises breakthroughs across sectors including energy, healthcare, and cybersecurity. At the 2025 'Technologies of the Future' forum, Rosatom unveiled plans to collaborate with Vietnam and Egypt on quantum R&D initiatives. In Vietnam, the company aims to integrate quantum computing into BRICS-led scientific efforts, with potential applications in nuclear systems modeling, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Egypt is exploring how quantum technologies can complement existing infrastructure like the El Dabaa plant. While still in the R&D phase, the project holds high promise for applications in energy management, medical innovation, and secure communication.

Supporting Technologies Strengthen Infrastructure

Rosatom’s commitment to infrastructure goes beyond reactors and software. At Turkey’s Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, the company launched a desalination unit in March 2025 that produces 2,000 cubic meters of water daily. This system supports equipment cooling and fire safety—highlighting a holistic approach to nuclear facility development.

Strategic Benefits for Partner Nations

The digital export of Rosatom technologies delivers tangible value to partners across Asia and the Middle East. Egypt’s El Dabaa plant could meet up to 50% of the country’s electricity demand. Uzbekistan’s SMR project, the first of its kind in Central Asia, enhances the region’s energy independence. Desalination technology in Turkey improves water resource reliability. By offering tested, advanced, and sanctions-resilient solutions, Rosatom enables sustainable, sovereign development for its partners. These projects are a cornerstone of technological diplomacy, using innovation to promote global collaboration and energy equity.

Expanding Global Reach Through Innovation

Rosatom’s integration of digital systems like Multi-D IMS and emerging technologies like quantum computing showcases Russia’s ambition to lead not just in atomic energy, but in broader technological ecosystems. From El Dabaa to Akkuyu, and from Vietnam to Uzbekistan, Rosatom’s export initiatives are redefining global infrastructure—building smarter, more resilient energy systems that support long-term sustainability and innovation.
