The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin spoke at the Flexible Manufacturing Forum of the INNOPROM exhibition in Yekaterinburg, which began work on July 5, 2021. In his speech, Mikhail Mishustin shared his assessments and forecasts on trends in industrial production and economic relations in the new conditions.

Mikhail Mishustin noted that an important factor in competitiveness is the ability of a business to quickly adapt its capacities to the release of new products. Flexibility is becoming one of the key conditions for efficient production. It allows you to minimize risks and reduce damage.
The Prime Minister noted that the coronavirus has pushed many enterprises and organizations to change the technological order and accelerate digitalization processes. Some sectors of the economy have already gone through a complete transformation.

To avoid personal contact, many services have been digitized. Restrictions have shaped the environment for the development of telemedicine and distance learning.

Artificial intelligence is actively used in medicine. At the peak of restrictions, almost 45 percent of Russian enterprises switched to remote operation. Information platforms have emerged that have helped connect producers and consumers directly.

The e-commerce sector boomed, which grew by 60 percent in 2020 in Russia. The Russian market for additive technologies has grown more than tenfold. The government approved the Strategy for the Development of Additive Technologies for a fifteen-year period.
According to Mishustin, the building of “digital twins” - computer prototypes of an industrial product - has become the norm for enterprises. With the help of this technology, the Russian electric car KAMA-1 was created.

The Russian government, according to Mishustin, will continue to support the development of the electronics industry. The three-year budget of Russia for these purposes provides for about 280 billion rubles.

The Prime Minister noted that today it is especially important to create the technologies of the future: to develop and implement the latest robotic schemes. In order to support this area, the Russian government approved the concept of regulatory regulation of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies.

2021 is declared by the President of the Russian Federation as the Year of Science and Technology; The task of the country's technological development has received the status of a national priority. Effective measures of state support for enterprises that conduct research and development have been developed. Businesses can be compensated for the cost of research and development. Over the next three years, more than 25 billion rubles have been allocated for such purposes in the budget.

M. Mishustin also said about the possibility of reducing the cost of work in the field of the industrial Internet of things through the tool of subsidies for the development of digital platforms and software products. About 5 billion rubles have been reserved for it in the budget for the next three years.
Enterprises can recover up to 50 percent of the costs of creating pilot batches of capital goods. The Russian budget has allocated about 5 billion rubles for this.

The Industrial Development Fund supports the creation of new digital industries; to date, nine projects have already received assistance totaling about 2 billion rubles.

M. Mishustin said that the Russian government is now working on the launch of new instruments and is ready to increase the amount of support for all measures that show high efficiency. Special attention is paid to programs for the production of civilian products at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex within the framework of production diversification.

According to Mikhail Mishustin, in order to quickly and safely transfer the industry to a digital format of work, it is necessary, first of all, to work out the issues of ensuring cyber security, think over reliable data protection systems, and design effective energy saving systems. We need a full-fledged coverage of settlements with broadband Internet and communications.

The Russian government has developed a “Strategy for the digital transformation of industry”. It is based on the model of production of the future - "Fast, high quality, cheap." Over the next ten years, it is planned to achieve a twofold increase in the efficiency of equipment, to increase the efficiency of high-tech workplaces by one and a half times, to cut the costs of developing and bringing high-tech products to the market by half.

The Prime Minister also noted that qualified specialists are needed to implement the new systemic approach. Under the influence of technological progress, it is necessary to restructure the entire education system. Traditional approaches to teaching no longer allow students to fully unleash their potential. The school should be more flexible in responding to changes that are associated with scientific and technological progress. It is important that the education system and the labor market are coordinated with each other. For example, according to expert estimates, there are not enough 19 thousand people on the Russian labor market to service robots. This is a serious deterrent. On the other hand, about 80 thousand students are already studying additive technologies in Russian universities.

Skilled workers are also urgently needed; such specialists must learn to work on equipment that uses new technologies, including those based on artificial intelligence. It is necessary to introduce special retraining programs. To modernize the system of secondary specialized education, the federal project "Young Professionals" was launched. For its implementation, the 3-year budget provides for about 22 billion rubles.

The INNOPROM exhibition will continue to work until July 8, 2021 at the Ekaterinburg-EXPO IEC. Within the framework of the exhibition, the national exposition of the Republic of Belarus is presented, which includes stands of 40 industrial and scientific organizations. The Belarusian exposition is also available online - on a virtual platform at: https://www.belinterexpo.by/innoprom/

The organizer of the national exposition of the Republic of Belarus at the INNOPROM exhibition is the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Exhibition operator of the national exposition is the exhibition company "Belinterexpo" of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
