The government has defined a list of key projects to replace foreign software with domestic analogues. These projects will be under special control. This was discussed at a meeting of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko with heads of industrial competence centers within the framework of the conference “CIPR-2025”.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that these projects have been given flagship status – they are of strategic importance for the country’s technological independence, especially in industry and the military-industrial complex.
The criteria for selecting flagship projects include the criticality of the development for the industry, the possibility of using the software in the critical information infrastructure (CII), the implementation of the project in the interests of the military-industrial complex, as well as the implementation of PLM systems, i.e. integrated solutions for the design and production of complex equipment.
It was noted that the flagship projects include a unified information environment for managing the product life cycle commissioned by the Roscosmos state corporation. The development will integrate all stages of product creation into a single system and optimize the processes of developing and manufacturing rocket and space technology. Another initiative is an information system for manufacturing aircraft technology commissioned by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). It will replace foreign software, will allow for the transfer of control over all stages of the product life cycle to digital technology, and will improve the efficiency of R&D work.
“Within the framework of the ICC, advanced technological solutions are being created to strengthen Russia’s sovereignty. Today, our main focus is on the development of heavy software. First of all, we are talking about the implementation of product lifecycle management systems. These comprehensive solutions allow for the effective management of all stages – from design to serial production – in key industries: aircraft and shipbuilding, automobile and rocket and space industries. It is fundamentally important that all projects – both those financed by grants and corporate initiatives – are implemented within the established deadlines and successfully implemented in production processes. In this case, the priority is not the source of funding, but the achievement of measurable practical results,” said Dmitry Grigorenko.
He also recalled that the ICCs have already demonstrated efficiency and high results. During the meeting, the most widely replicated ICC projects were highlighted – such initiatives demonstrated the highest sales revenue. Among them are the field design platforms commissioned by JSC Rosgeo. The revenue of its developer amounted to about 340% of the grant. Over 150% of the grant was returned in the form of tax deductions. Another successfully replicated development is the Ujin platform for the development of smart homes and digitalization of housing and communal services. The revenue from its sale amounted to about 60% of the grant, over 42% of the grant was returned in the form of taxes.
In total, there are currently about 200 projects in progress to replace foreign software with Russian developments. They are being implemented both with government grant support and through the developer companies’ own investments.
The initiatives are divided into two stages of implementation. The first wave, which started in 2022, includes about 150 projects, of which over 40% have been fully completed to date: these are 59 projects implemented using the participants’ own funds, as well as 7 grant projects.
In May of this year, the second wave was launched, which included another 49 projects: 17 with state funding and 32 with company funds.
