NUST MISIS scientists showcased the results of their cutting-edge research at III Future Technologies Forum. The event brought together 1,800 participants from 19 countries. University experts, along with representatives of business and government, discussed the technological and scientific priorities of the industry, investments in ongoing projects, workforce training, and more. Leading Russian corporations, high-tech businesses, and research organizations presented their latest technological advancements at the exhibition.
The business program covered key issues and development prospects in the fields of advanced materials and chemistry, focusing on critical innovation sectors and investment-attractive projects. Forum participants discussed the four main areas of the New Materials and Chemistry national project: rare earth metals, chemistry, biotechnology, and composite materials.
“The main emphasis is expected to be on developing technologies aimed at improving the quality of life for our citizens and ensuring our country’s technological sovereignty. This includes the application of new materials and substances across various industries. This year’s Future Technologies Forum provides a platform to showcase breakthrough advancements in materials science and chemistry—fields that are crucial for national development and where we must maintain our own expertise,” Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation, Executive Secretary of the Forum’s Organizing Committee.
