As part of the training, students will develop a project on the industrial design of a technological product based on a real case.
The “Artificial Intelligence in Industry” program is designed for 72 academic hours and is aimed at developing professional skills in the field of industrial data analytics using artificial intelligence (AI). The course includes three modules: “Fundamentals of Machine Learning”, “Advanced Machine Learning in Industry” and “Neural Networks in Industry”.
The annual road construction plan in Moscow was completed ahead of schedule. Since the beginning of 2023, 110 km of roads and 65 artificial structures have been built: tunnels, overpasses, overpasses and bridges. In the next three years, it is planned to build another 265 km of roads.
As part of the “Open #Mosprom” project, a pre-New Year virtual quiz was held for citizens. Players had to remember the main chemical element contained in the toothpaste of the capital's cosmetics manufacturer, and the metro station, the name of which is consonant with the goods of the Moscow enterprise. In addition, it was necessary to answer how many times the Moon could be wrapped with the products of one of the city’s companies and which perfume of the capital’s factory is mentioned in poems and Soviet films.
The winners were determined randomly among those who answered seven or more questions correctly. The results were published on November 20 on the Open#Mosprom website.
Over 6.000 finished technological products have already been presented on the capital’s online platform “Map of Innovative Solutions”. With its help, large businesses and city structures can select projects and services for specific tasks and contact the authors. The catalog brings together ideas in 18 areas. Among them are “Industry”, “Creative Industries”, “Tourism and Recreation” and other areas.
In addition, the online platform has a “City Requests” service, where various metropolitan departments and subordinate organizations leave requests, and entrepreneurs from all over Russia respond to them and offer their options. In 2023 alone, thanks to this section, about 60 innovations were introduced in Moscow.
In Moscow, over 30 enterprises produce cosmetics, care and hygiene products, satisfying the needs of Russians for quality products in this segment. Companies are developing rapidly - expanding their range and increasing production volumes. For example, the Moscow enterprise Geltek-Medica produced over one million units of cosmetic products from January to October 2023, which is more than twice the volume of the same period in 2022. In particular, the production of contact media for ultrasound, ECG, encephalogram and other studies increased by 30%. The company's products are in demand in all regions of the country.
The pharmaceutical company Artsellens (Promomed group of companies) received resident status of the special economic zone (SEZ) Technopolis Moscow. It will create a modern research laboratory for the development of new medicines and will begin the production of domestic biological products. At the first stage of the project, the company will produce generics for the treatment of oncological and autoimmune diseases, their localization will be from 60 to 85 percent. The company plans to produce 150 kg of the substance per year, or about 750.000 bottles of the drug.
The issue of water supply to the cities of the Crimean Peninsula has always been of great importance for the region. The Technopolis Moscow SEZ has developed a main pump and a pumping station control system for the water supply station under construction in Kerch and Feodosia. The water supply infrastructure installed by the capital company will provide water to more than 218.000 people living in these cities. The company gave a five-year guarantee for its equipment, and the daily volume it will pump will be at least 300.000 cubic meters of water.
In the capital, a plant producing medicines for animals began operating at full capacity. At the end of 2022, the Vetbiohim company completed its construction on the territory of the special economic zone (SEZ) Technopolis Moscow. The new plant was designed and built in accordance with international pharmaceutical manufacturing standards. They include strict requirements for the organization of release and quality control of medicines. The technological processes at the plant are adjusted in such a way that they produce sterile, completely safe and highly effective products. The entire product line of the company is its own development.
The Moscow manufacturer began supplying ATMs of its own design. The devices are equipped with a touch screen, a multimedia system, and protection against fraudsters and vandals. Three partner banks have already received the first devices. Several other organizations are conducting testing. Serial production of Russian ATMs began in the Rudnevo industrial park in May of this year.
The devices are 80% made from domestic components. They are equipped with their own software. In 2026, the company plans to completely switch to Russian components.
Three companies with the status of a social enterprise received property support from the city to rent premises with an area of over one thousand square meters. They were provided with a preferential rental rate of RUB 4.200 per m2 per year. By the end of 2023 alone, such companies will save RUB 21.3 mln.
To receive a preferential rate, an entrepreneur must submit an application to the Interdepartmental Commission for the provision of property support to small businesses. Documents are accepted in paper form by mail, as well as online through the “Electronic Reception” service on the mos.ru portal.
From January to September 2023, the city provided four capital companies with a special status with benefits for renting land plots. These are two industrial complexes and two technology parks. The amount of annual savings will exceed RUB 26.7 mln.
The city provided the Kalibr technology park with a benefit in the form of a rate of 0.01% of the cadastral value when renting three land plots with an area of 0.76 ha. The company already leases eight city plots with an area of more than 12 ha at a preferential rate. The annual savings exceed RUB 40 mln.
The preferential land rental rate applies to enterprises operating in socially significant and knowledge-intensive industries, for example in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and mechanical engineering. At the same time, companies must annually confirm their status.
The Moscow government has assigned the status of anchor resident of the Krasny Proletary technology park to the publishing house Prosveshchenie-Soyuz. In accordance with city legislation, the income tax rate credited to the Moscow budget for this company has been reduced to 13.5% instead of the standard 17.
An important area of development for the Prosveshchenie-Soyuz publishing house is the development and production of educational games. One of the projects, “Game Library,” helps children learn interactively and thereby increases interest and motivation in studying history, geography, as well as nature, architecture and other areas. In addition, it promotes the development of social and communication skills, develops memory, thinking, creativity and increases overall erudition.
The Moscow government has approved the criteria for assigning the status of an industrial technology park to companies operating in the field of manufacturing (except for the production of tobacco products).
As is the case with other specialized territories (industrial complexes and technology parks), industrial technology parks must meet certain requirements, such as:
– rational use of urban land: at least 70% of capital construction projects must be involved in economic activities related to manufacturing, while the building density must be at least eight thousand square meters per hectare;
– investing in the creation or modernization of production: the volume of investment over the last five years must be at least RUB 57.4 mln per ha of area;
– employees’ wages are not less than the average for the industry in which the enterprise operates.
The package of tax incentives for industrial technology parks includes:
– reduction of income tax paid to the city budget from 17 to 13.5%;
– land tax rate of 0.7% of the calculated amount;
– land rental rate in the amount of 0.01% of the cadastral value;
