The XII Congress "Innovative Practice: Science plus Business" was held in Moscow

The XII Congress "Innovative Practice: Science plus Business" was held in Moscow, organized by Innopraktika and Lomonosov Moscow State University. Within the framework of the congress, 19 events were held, which were attended by more than 2,000 representatives of government, business and science.

Innopraktika has always placed human beings at the forefront of the innovation economy, realizing that it is human communications that build bridges between market players at the regional and international levels. Therefore, the theme of the Congress suggests considering the dependence of economic development on the interaction of different areas of life — science and business, culture and the state," said Katerina Tikhonova, CEO of Innopraktika.

The key topics of the event were Russia's role in rebooting the world system and the model of interaction between science, business and culture to achieve technological leadership. The participants of the plenary session discussed how, in the context of globalization and digitalization, a new culture of innovation will ensure the growth of the Russian economy and a mutually beneficial dialogue with other countries of the world.

Natalia Popova, First Deputy General Director of Innopraktika, noted the active development of high-tech business in Russia. As an example, she cited the mechanism of "nurturing" technology companies.

"Such successes clearly illustrate the synergy formula: science generates breakthrough knowledge, business turns it into marketable products and services, and culture creates an environment of trust and values, without which neither long—term investments nor access to new markets are possible," Natalia Popova emphasized.

During the congress, Viktor Sadovnichy, Rector of Moscow State University, spoke about the creation of an artificial intelligence faculty at the university to strengthen technological sovereignty, and Sergey Kravtsov, Minister of Education, emphasized the role of school education in the formation of fundamental knowledge and worldview.

"We have approved unified educational programs, and educational work has been organized. A systematic approach has been established that allows each child to be given a solid foundation of knowledge, spiritual and moral guidelines and key skills so that in the future they can realize their potential for the benefit of Russia," Sergey Kravtsov emphasized.

Dmitry Bakanov, head of Roscosmos, spoke about the importance of involving young people in the space industry, and Oksana Lut, Minister of Agriculture, spoke about the systematic work on personnel training for the agro—industrial complex, including agroclasses and the Innagrica Olympiad.

"Popularization of the agro—industrial complex is very important. We are grateful to those who help us show that our industry is interesting, modern, and knowledge-intensive. You can work, create and get good results in it," Oksana Lut noted.
