The Russian government has approved the Concept for the technological development of the country until 2030 with funding (both budgetary and private) of 3 trillion rubles.
According to the plan, "by the end of the third decade of the XXI century, Russia should have its own scientific, personnel and technological base of critical and cross-cutting technologies." The concept focuses on the production of microelectronics, high-precision machine tools, robotics, drones, software, accelerators and charged particle detectors.
The concept envisages an increase in domestic spending on research and development by at least 45%, an increase in innovation activity, an increase in spending on innovation activity by 1.5 times, and an increase in the number of patent applications by 2.4 times.
The first stage of work on the concept will be the creation of a plan of priority steps, which will be handled by the Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Education and Science.
