Vladimir Putin's speech at the plenary session of the Future Technologies Forum, Computing and Communications: The Quantum World

Main points:

In today's conditions, it is important to focus on those areas where we already have global-level technologies and products (nuclear energy, artificial intelligence), and on those areas that are critical for the development of Russia, where we must have our own competencies.

When addressing the tasks of technological sovereignty, we will not isolate ourselves. On the contrary, we intend to establish and expand equal, mutually beneficial technological and scientific alliances with other countries.

Our main goal is to transfer the entire economy, social sphere, and government body work to an entirely new basis for our work, to introduce management based on big data.

It is important that we create the industries and markets of the future. The national project for the development of unmanned aerial systems has been developed with this logic in mind. Please approve it by September 1, 2023.

The President also issued a number of instructions:

To develop a new national project this year, on the creation of a data-based economy for the period up to 2030.

It should cover all stages and levels of work: data collection (highly sensitive sensors, including quantum sensors), data transmission on the development of communications systems, independent infrastructure for computing and storing data within the country, data security, sovereign national standards and protocols for working with data, as well as processing algorithms and data analysis. It should also outline support measures for fundamental research, including increased funding, as part of the national project.

“Work in all the above areas should be aimed at systemically changing all sectors of the economy, the social sphere, public administration, and the quality of life for all people across the country,” Vladimir Putin stressed.

To provide the necessary funding for the mega-grant programme, as well as to amend the parameters of the programme to make its conditions even more attractive to researchers.

In particular, it is proposed to increase the maximum size of mega-grants and extend their implementation period to five years. Over this time, scientist should receive half a billion rubles in total if they are ready to work in Russia permanently. At the same time, support in the amount of a quarter of a billion rubles will be provided over five years to leading foreign scientists who are engaged in teaching activities at Russian universities and form scientific schools in areas that are of key priority for the development of science and technology, as a result. Assistance to promising Russian researchers who want to return to their homeland from abroad and make a significant contribution to scientific and technological solutions will be part of the programme.

“The updated mega-grant programme should be launched in the near future,” the President concluded.
