On June 20, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University continued its work at the XXVIII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
At the forum, the rector of SPbPU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy and the chairman PSB Petr Fradkov signed a partnership agreement aimed at developing and scaling digital twin technology for defense industry enterprises and civilian high-tech industries. The document sets out the creation of a joint ecosystem for technological development that meets the priorities of the Russian Federation in the field of digital transformation and technological leadership:
Russia’s entry into the top 10 countries in terms of R&D volume; accelerated implementation of technological innovations; formation of long-term demand and supply for high-tech products.
All joint initiatives of SPbPU and PSB will be focused on the implementation and financial support of “cross-cutting” projects: from technological innovations to the creation and technical support in the operation of promising military and military-technical equipment and dual-use products.
Polytechnic has been building a world-class ecosystem around key scientific and technological direction— system digital engineering and digital twin technology. PSB support will give our projects strategic and financial acceleration and will allow us to transform our scientific and technological groundwork, created digital platforms, digital test benches and testing grounds not only into a tool for developing high-tech products and implementing R&D, but also into state standards. After all, our common goal is to increase business investment in R&D, to make digital twin technology not only a language of communication between science, production and business, but also a basis for effective cooperation in order to ensure a high level of defense capability and technological leadership of the country, — noted Andrey Rudskoy.
For systematic work in this direction, PSB will create specialized structures within its framework by the end of the year – the Sovereign Technologies Development Agent and the Innovation Diffusion Accelerator, which will form cooperation chains of qualified customers and qualified performers, developers and manufacturers of high-tech products, and will also develop specialized financial instruments for the implementation of technological innovations using digital twin approaches.
For PSB, the backbone bank of the military-industrial complex, the role of an agent for the development of sovereign technologies is a responsibility and a growth point. Based on the expertise of the Polytechnic University andCML-Bench® digital platform, we consolidate engineering and financial data in a single digital circuit so that bold scientific and technological ideas quickly become competitive products. Our goal is to create and test a convenient “short route” from development to serial production and ensure the country’s technological leadership, which today is measured, among other things, by the ability to create the future in digital form, said Pyotr Fradkov.
The most important link that translates the country’s priorities from the highest level into an effective project format should be the Interdepartmental Comprehensive Target Program for the Implementation of Digital Twin Technology, which is being developed on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation by federal executive bodies under the leadership of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.
Digital twin technology plays an important role in the development of industry and is aimed primarily at reducing the cost and development time of high-tech products, improving the characteristics of created and modernized models, which will lead to ensuring technological sovereignty and technological leadership. I would like to note that within the framework of the activities of TC 700, RFNC-VNIIEF and SPbPU were the first in the world to develop National standard “Digital twins of products”, which was officially recognized in the PRC and served as the basis for the creation of the standard “Digital Twins of Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines”. In this regard, the signed Agreement on Cooperation between PSB and SPbPU in the field of development and application of digital testing technologies and digital twins at defense industry enterprises will play a major role and will be of great importance in the implementation of the Interdepartmental Comprehensive Target Program for the Implementation of Digital Twin Technology, – commented Kirill Lysogorsky, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Chairman of TC 700 “Mathematical Modeling and High-Performance Computing Technologies”.
Also at the forum, two agreements on joining the consortium “Russian-African Network University” were signed: with the Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and the Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography. The documents were signed by the Chairman of the Presidium of RAFU, Rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy, Rector of SPbGEU Igor Maksimtsev and Rector of MIIGAiK Nadezhda Kamynina.
The Russian-African Network University is proud to welcome new members to its ranks. This event is of great importance. The main value lies in the professional activities of the University of Economics. The Ministry instructed us to conduct research to assess the economic and cultural damage inflicted on Africa by centuries of colonial rule. Our President rightly noted that Africa is the future of our planet and the most populated continent. Africa has enormous intellectual potential, which in the near future may occupy leading economic and intellectual positions. Our network university should contribute to this process, – noted Andrey Rudskoy.
The Russian-African Network University consortium was created on the initiative of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation in 2021.
Its goal is to develop partnerships between Russian and African universities in the field of higher education and research, and to create a unified educational space for training highly qualified personnel. RAFU includes more than 90 Russian educational, scientific organizations and companies, and on the African side – 45 universities and organizations from 15 African countries.
Andrey Rudskoy also became an expert in the session “Welcome, or No Trespassing: A Challenge for Science” with the participation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Valery Falkov. The conversation was devoted to the problem of communications in the field of science as an important part of international relations.
At the forum, the rector of SPbPU held a series of productive meetings where they discussed current tasks for ensuring the country’s technological leadership, as well as the interaction of science, education and business.
