Innovative product manufacturing in the Novosibirsk region surged by 25% in the first half of 2025.
Novosibirsk Region Bolsters Support for Scientific and Technological Entrepreneurs
The Novosibirsk region, a technological leader in Russia, is actively increasing innovative product production in 2025. This growth is driven by participation in major industrial cooperation platforms, active scientific research developments, and integration into broader regional and federal programs supporting high-technology industries and innovative enterprises.
Deputy Governor of the Novosibirsk region, Irina Manuilova, highlighted the region's commitment to bolster support for scientific and technological entrepreneurs. The region is taking leading positions among Russian regions in the implementation of innovative technologies in production and industry due to systemic support measures.
One of the key aspects of innovative product development in the Novosibirsk region is participation in significant industrial exhibitions like INNOPROM Belarus, which took place in September-October 2025. This exhibition showcased innovation and collaborative projects within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), supported by federal ministries and leading Russian companies. The event aimed at strengthening industrial and technological cooperation and showcasing innovative products and projects.
Scientific developments at Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU) also play a significant role in the region's advancements. Researchers at NSTU have created technology for synthesizing high-quality powder for medical product manufacturing, indicating advancements in materials science and healthcare-related innovations within the region.
The region's focus on creative industries and technology sectors is part of Russia’s broader strategy where regions like Novosibirsk contribute to innovation-driven economic growth and product diversification. Proposed coal mining development in the Novosibirsk area, while indicating ongoing industrial activity, may serve to balance traditional and innovative sectors.
However, specific large-scale manufacturing project launches for innovative products uniquely in the Novosibirsk region in 2025 are less directly highlighted compared to other regions like Orenburg and Samara, which have concrete UAV (drone) production centers established with federal funding and regional support. Nevertheless, the region's active presence in high-tech exhibitions and R&D suggests robust measure implementation supporting innovative product output.
Support measures include integration into federal and Eurasian industrial cooperation frameworks, regional support for research institutions like NSTU, and participation in collective efforts to commercialize high-tech products and innovations within wider industrial networks.
As of now, 33 innovative projects have been supported in the region, focusing on new technology development and industry implementation. The growth was achieved through the successful implementation of a state support system for commercializing scientific developments and transferring technologies. Irina Manuilova attributes the successful development of innovative production in the Novosibirsk region to various state support measures, including subsidies for technology transfer and commercialization, tax incentives for innovative companies, grants for creating youth laboratories, and other forms of state assistance.
Plans for next year include continuing the implementation of these programs and expanding them to new areas of science and production to ensure sustainable growth and development of high-tech industries in the region. The majority of innovative products in the Novosibirsk region come from processing industries, with regional enterprises shipping goods, performing work, and providing services of an innovative nature totaling 35.8 billion rubles in 2024.
The region is also actively implementing important scientific projects such as SKIF and the NGSU campus, which contribute to technological progress and economic growth. The topic of innovative production in the Novosibirsk region will be discussed at the XII International Forum for Technological Development "Techprom-2025," which will take place in the region in August 2025.
In conclusion, the Novosibirsk region's increase in innovative product production in 2025 is a testament to its commitment to technological advancement and economic growth. The region's active participation in major industrial cooperation platforms, scientific research, and integration into broader regional and federal programs are key factors in its success.
What measures does the Novosibirsk region take to support scientific and technological entrepreneurs in education-and-self-development? The region implements various state support measures, including subsidies for technology transfer and commercialization, tax incentives for innovative companies, grants for creating youth laboratories, and other forms of state assistance. These measures are designed to foster innovation-driven economic growth and product diversification, with a specific focus on new technology development and industry implementation.
