Technology Helps Advance Russia’s National Goals

Russian companies are increasingly using IT solutions and digital infrastructure to implement projects in environmental protection, transport, urban development and healthcare.

Russian Business Week

At Russian Business Week organized by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), a forum titled “Responsible Business Practices: Social Aspects of Business Contributions to National Goals” was held. At the event, AFK Sistema presented projects related to digital infrastructure, environmentally friendly transport and medical technologies.

Russian Business Week remains the largest annual event of the RSPP. In the forum’s resolution, participants noted that technological developments by companies are increasingly being applied in socially significant sectors, including healthcare, environmental protection, information accessibility and digital security.

Technological DNA

“The corporation’s technological DNA – acting as a ‘laboratory of the future’ – is reflected across its entire portfolio: from improving efficiency through the introduction of advanced technologies in traditional industries to developing new sectors and promising markets such as satellite manufacturing and space, electric vessels and autonomous navigation, smart and safe cities, hydrogen energy and other areas. This fully aligns with the national goal of achieving technological leadership and with a number of national projects where technology is one of the key components,” an AFK Sistema representative said.

Green Transport, IT Systems and Medicine

The corporation is developing environmentally friendly transport projects. Electric vessels built at the Emperium shipyard have traveled more than one million kilometers over the past two and a half years. Their use has helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Moscow by 5,500 tons of CO₂ equivalent.

IT solutions are also used in urban infrastructure. In Mordovia, cameras with automatic detection of traffic accidents and emergencies have been installed, while some traffic lights operate under the control of digital systems.

Digital technologies are also being used in healthcare. A pilot deployment of the Sitronics Group healthcare management platform in a state clinic in St. Petersburg has significantly reduced waiting times for hospitalization. AI-based services are also used in the corporation’s network of clinics to analyze medical data and support physicians.
