Show highlights
The national pavilion of Belarus occupied 150 sq. m. to accommodate the country’s 9 largest machine builders.
As usual, the stand of VOIR – the All-Russian Society of Inventors and Rationalizers was a place of attraction for both exhibitors and visitors who wanted to get the latest first-hand information about innovations and inventions.
The group stand of ATD – the Association for Additive Technologies Development brought together the industry’s leaders, who presented unique exhibits such as additive equipment and printed products, including those printed by Rosatom on the largest DMD printer in Russia.
Conference programme
The exhibition is always accompanied by a rich conference programme. This year it included 14 important events.
On the opening day, the Russian State Duma Committee for Science and Higher Education and EXPOCENTRE organised the Strategic Session on Training of Engineering Personnel Amidst New Challenges under the auspices of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The event was moderated by Vladimir Kononov, Deputy Chair at the Russian State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education and Chair at the Central Council of VOIR – the All-Russian Society of Inventors and Rationalizers.
“Today the leaders of our country consider the development of engineering education as a priority task. This is evident from the measures that are being taken. Some serious positive shifts are already underway. Training in engineering and technical sciences is becoming more and more popular every year. Universities are increasing the number of state-funded places in these subjects, providing a variety of opportunities for training and further development. One of the most important trends in technical education has become the opening of advanced engineering schools. It is here that students gain practical skills in various fields during their studies. Currently, 50 universities and more than 250 partner companies are involved in this area. The President has set a task to increase this number to 100 advanced engineering schools. This task is now being fulfilled,” said Vladimir Kononov at the opening of the event.
Maxim Fateev, Director General at EXPOCENTRE AO, also spoke at the strategic session. According to him, it is extremely important for the development of Russian technologies to attract talented young specialists to the scientific world and our research environment.
“EXPOCENTRE, for its part, is taking steps in this direction. Interaction with leading industry universities to support student projects and demonstrate them at our own major exhibitions is one of our priorities. At the same time, young promising students and postgraduates participate both in our shows and in the events of conference programmes”, said Maxim Fateev.
The session was attended by representatives of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, leading universities and state corporations. They discussed the situation on the labour market, issues of training specialists to meet the demands of different enterprises, the latest technologies in training, and legislative support for the educational processes.
A photo exhibition of VOIR – the All-Russian Society of Inventors and Rationalizersopened on the same day as part of the 2nd Festival of the Science and Inventions for Life, which was Russia’s main festival for this country’s researchers and inventors of all ages.
The exhibition presented the developments of Russian inventors and researchers, demonstrating achievements in various fields of science and technology. The photo exhibition became part of a large-scale event aimed at popularising the scientific and inventive potential of this country.
The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of VOIR, the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, inventors, exhibitors and visitors to Technoforum 2024.
The two-day Conference on Strategic Challenges of the Metalworking Market was devoted to localisation of machine tools and metalworking, HR challenge in metalworking in 2024/25, additive technology as a tool and solution for technological independence of the metalworking and machine building industries, robotisation in metalworking in 2025, welding production in Russia, and investment projects in metalworking and machine building.
