Sergunina told about the finalists of the "Innovator of Moscow" contest

The seventh Moscow Innovator contest received over 1,700 applications from Moscow inventors. The experts assessed the technology, scientific novelty and economic potential of the projects and selected 180 solutions, twice as many as a year earlier, said Deputy Mayor Natalia Sergunina.

"For the first time, the final will be held in the format of six presentation days, according to the number of industry areas of the competition. The authors will present their developments at specialized city venues, such as the pavilion "Art. Technograd" at VDNH and the Moscow Cluster of Video Games and Animation," said Sergunina.

The team that developed devices for controlling light installations and artistic lighting reached the final stage. Thanks to the modular principle, the design can be easily adapted to the customer's needs, and the technical equipment simplifies installation and reduces costs. The development is used at the Atom Museum at VDNH and at the Flacon design factory.

Another team presented an ecosystem for automating the initial stages of video content production, from script to storyboard. The platform is based on domestic AI-based solutions.

A photopolymer 3D printer for rapid prototyping and mass production, a digital twin production process management platform, and a technology for producing high-purity chemical elements for microelectronics also received high marks from experts.

The finalists included the creators of a line of autonomous mobile robots, a system for measuring the weight and size of goods and a network of automated storage chambers.

Based on the results of the presentation days, the jury will determine 36 laureates who will receive cash prizes. Their size varies depending on the nomination. The total prize fund will be 20.7 million rubles. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their developments to potential customers.
