Vasily Potemkin presented the main products of the industrial cluster for electronics and unmanned technologies at Technoprom

Vasily Potemkin, Deputy Governor of the Tomsk Region for Industry, Investment Policy and Property Relations, delivered a report at the XII International Forum of Technological Development Technoprom during a roundtable dedicated to cooperation between Russia and Belarus. In his speech, he emphasised the importance of cooperation in the fields of technological leadership and workforce training in intelligent systems, electronics and unmanned technologies.

Potemkin noted that the Tomsk Region, like the rest of Russia, is pursuing an active cluster policy of industrial development. He reminded participants that earlier this year, two industrial clusters – the timber industry, wood processing and wood chemistry cluster, and the nonferrous and rare earth metals cluster – were established and registered on the basis of TOMPE Ilmenite. He added that a chemical cluster is also planned, as the development of the electronics cluster requires chemical products.

At present, an industrial cluster for electronics and unmanned technologies is being registered with the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. The decision to create it was taken on 21 March in Tomsk at a meeting chaired by First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Andrey Yatskin and Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov.

On 1 August, the Tomsk Region Industry Development Fund submitted the registration documents to the Ministry. The cluster includes TUSUR (Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics) and twelve industrial organisations from the radio electronics sector, based in the Tomsk Region, St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Vasily Potemkin presented the main products of the interregional electronics cluster. The Cognitive company plans to produce an unmanned, cab-less mini-tractor powered by either electricity or petrol, programmable to meet customers’ needs. LEMZ-T will produce the UAS communication system, which is radio equipment enabling communication between ground control centres and unmanned aircraft. Micran will establish the production of compact satellite stations, called Mini MSP (Multiservice Satellite Platform), for use in remote areas. Radar MMS will produce satellite terminals for UAV on-board radio command lines, complex wireless broadband communication systems for groups of unmanned vehicles and airborne laser scanning modules (lidars) for cars and specialised vehicles
