MOSCOW, August 10. /TASS/. Prospects for developing a low-altitude economy in Russia, deploying unmanned transport, and exporting domestic technologies will be discussed at this year’s Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), the press service of the Roscongress Foundation reported.
"A meeting took place in Moscow between Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum, and Alexey Raikevich, Director General of GLONASS. The parties discussed joint efforts to accelerate high-technology exports, cooperation in implementing the President of the Russian Federation’s instructions on the introduction of unmanned transport to drive economic development, and efforts to strengthen Russia’s technological sovereignty," the report said.
The Eastern Economic Forum will serve as a launchpad for developing the low-altitude economy in Russia, one of the key technological priorities and tools of generating significant economic benefits through the introduction of autonomous transport by 2035, Kobyakov noted. "The project is being developed with reference to the best international practices and based on unique Russian technologies and digital solutions that have already been implemented in the country. On a single platform, we will bring together all participants in the unmanned transport market, along with leading international experts. This will help accelerate the transition from experimentation to the industrial-scale operation of unmanned transport, which is already being actively introduced in the Far East, is being prepared for nationwide expansion, and has significant export potential," he was quoted as saying.
