The government has resumed issuing grants for industrial competence center projects. A total of 49 projects will be implemented within the second wave: 17 of them will receive grant funding, the other 32 projects will be implemented using the companies’ own funds. Completion of 86% of the selected second wave projects is planned for up to and including 2027.
During the selection of the second wave of projects, on the instructions of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, an additional assessment of their economic efficiency and potential for replication was carried out.
All developments that claimed the status of particularly significant projects were reviewed by development institutes – the Russian Foundation for Information Technology Development and the Skolkovo Foundation. Also, all projects that participated in the selection underwent an independent examination, within the framework of which an assessment was made of industry and inter-industry demand, economic feasibility of expenses and project implementation timeframes. In addition, the developments were checked for compliance with the requirements for inclusion in the register of software and hardware systems. Inclusion in the register facilitates the replicability of the solution and opens up the possibility of its use at critical information infrastructure (CII) facilities.
“The projects implemented within the framework of the ICC are not just another point digital solutions. These are developments that are designed to increase the efficiency of entire sectors of the economy and ensure import substitution. We continue to improve the mechanism for selecting and implementing particularly significant projects in order to obtain competitive solutions that are not inferior to foreign ones, which the market is already waiting for and wants to implement. Additional assessment will allow us to determine at the stage of project selection which of them the industry is most interested in and how government investments will be returned to the budget in the form of tax deductions. It is important to exclude a situation in which one company – the customer – receives benefits from the implementation of the project. Also, let me remind you that we pay equal attention to both grant projects and projects at the expense of the companies’ own funds. All of them – regardless of the source of funding – must be completed on time and implemented within one or several industries,” commented Dmitry Grigorenko.
The approved projects with grant co-financing, which will be implemented during the second wave, include, for example, a digital platform for solving and tracking quality issues commissioned by NAZ LLC. The system will automatically identify quality issues and promptly report them. Its implementation is expected to increase the speed of decision-making by 20% and increase the profits of enterprises in the automotive industry by 5-15%.
The Industrial Assistant software package, implemented by order of DST-Ural LLC, also received grant support. The solution will allow using topographic images to create highly accurate 3D terrain models, plan mining operations, create routes for equipment movement, and warn of possible collapses and landslides. The system will help reduce the number of emergency situations and equipment downtime, and save on its repair and maintenance.
Among the second-wave projects implemented at the expense of the companies’ own funds is the information system of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Rosmorport for recording the calls of ships at the ports of the Russian Federation on domestic software (developed by JSC Sitronics). The project will consolidate data on ship calls at ports in a centralized database and create a “single information window” for the industry. Also among the progressive projects that will be implemented at the expense of the companies’ own funds is the development of JSC Kama – the cross-platform digital environment “Atom” for managing the functions of an electric vehicle. The system includes online diagnostics services, a digital cloud web system and a mobile application for managing an electric vehicle.
For all projects, agreements have already been signed with customer companies at the level of development institutions on the provision of grants. The funds will be transferred to the recipients no later than June 1, 2025.
