The capital's solutions for the bioeconomy were presented at the Future Technologies Forum

The Future Technologies Forum has opened at the World Trade Center, which this year is dedicated to the development of bioeconomics. As part of the event, Moscow companies will present about 80 developments in the fields of ecology, transport, agriculture, as well as the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries at the Moscow government's stand. Among them are bioprinters capable of creating eardrum implants, unique drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and oncology, a mobile hydrogen power plant, complexes for accelerated plant breeding and much more. This was announced by Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

"On behalf of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the capital relies on the development of high-tech industries, which, among other things, become the basis for the economy of the future. These are, for example, the electric car industry, food, medical and pharmaceutical industries. The Moscow stand presents advanced solutions in these and other areas from 35 metropolitan companies, including advanced developments from eight residents of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone," Liksutov said.

In particular, at the stand, you can get acquainted with the developments of the SEZ resident, BIOCAD biotechnology company (PK-137 LLC), which presents vital biosimilars of cancer drugs and an original drug fully developed by the company's scientists for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Another company, Sputnik Technopolis (R-Pharm Group of Companies), presented a number of drugs for the treatment of oncological and autoimmune diseases in the booth catalog. The company produces Russia's first biosimilar of a drug for the treatment of head and neck cancer, as well as the world's first monoclonal antibody for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with a unique mechanism of action.

"The development of electric vehicles is also an important area for bioeconomics. Green technologies help to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, reduce noise and make life more comfortable for citizens. The thematic area of the stand includes solutions such as a mobile hydrogen power plant and lithium-ion cells and batteries, which will be produced on the territory of the SEZ in the Krasnopakhorsky district of the Troitsk Administrative District. Russia's largest cluster for the production of electricity storage systems is being built there, it will provide almost 70 percent of the domestic market's demand for these modern devices," said Anatoly Garbuzov, Minister of the Moscow government and head of the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.

For example, a mobile power plant from the Center for Hydrogen Technologies is capable of generating electrical energy based on a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen without releasing harmful substances into the atmosphere.

One of the most important areas of bioeconomics is environmental protection. For example, the Moscow government has developed a biosorption module to suppress the growth of blue-green algae in water bodies. The effectiveness of the development is noticeable — as a result of testing, plant growth is suppressed by 70%.

"Moscow has been conducting an experiment to combat blue-green algae since 2024, and it can rightfully be called unique. This is the first time that comprehensive research of this level has been conducted in open water. Seven backwaters are involved in the project: five backwaters directly for conducting the experiment (Stroginsky backwaters, Maly Spassky backwaters, Kozhukhovsky backwaters, Nagatinsky backwaters, Novelty backwaters) and two backwaters for control measurements. The total area of the experiment was almost 2 square kilometers, which is more than 10% of the total area of the Moskva River in the city. The first results of the technology have already shown effectiveness: the concentration of blue-green algae is reduced by 2.5-3 times. Bloom prevention is one of the ways to preserve the well—being of aquatic ecosystems," said Yulia Urozhdaeva, Head of the Moscow Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection.
