Bashkortostan will continue cooperation with Innovation Support Center

The head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, and the CEO of the EISC, Pavel Dvornichenko, discussed joint work.

As noted in the press service of the head of the republic, the Engineering and Innovation Support Center is the operator of grant programs of the Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, aimed at supporting domestic suppliers of large Russian corporations. Earlier, three enterprises in Bashkortostan received grants from the Center - NPF Geofizika, NPO Burintekh, and the Ufa Compressor Plant, totaling over 650 million rubles. In total, more than 500 companies in the region could potentially participate in the EISC programs. Currently, Bashkortostan is in 7th place in terms of the amount of funds received, and plans to rise to the top five. As Pavel Dvornichenko noted, given the large cluster of oil and gas enterprises in the region, this is a feasible task.

The signed agreement will focus on supporting projects in the scientific and technological spheres. The priority is to introduce cost-effective products into production, primarily import-substituting ones. The ANO "Center for Assistance to Innovations in the Republic of Bashkortostan" will be responsible for implementing this agreement in Bashkortostan.

In total, at SPIEF-2024, representatives of Bashkortostan signed more than 20 agreements in the fields of the agro-industrial complex, AI development, digital and ESG transformation, innovation, education, sports, and other areas, totaling more than 100 billion rubles. All projects are currently under implementation.
