A special feature of the project is the complete replacement of foreign analogues, which corresponds to the strategy of technological sovereignty.

This is an example of effective interaction between a scientific institution and business. And even more significant is that the implementation of such large projects in this difficult time opens up new opportunities for young scientists.
Igor Ivanovich Kobzev, Governor of the Irkutsk Region 

Vice Presidents of Transneft, Maxim Grishanin and Pavel Revel-Muroz, visited the production facility, discussing prospects for further cooperation with the region. An agreement on the socio-economic development of the Irkutsk region is also under consideration.
