Key Discussion Topics:

• Project presentations in the field of industrial and economic cooperation between businesses and regions of Russia and Belarus.
• How to move from one-off agreements to systemic interregional industrial cooperation.
• Experience in establishing interregional shared equipment centers.
• Expert comments and questions from business representatives, business associations, and regions of Belarus and Russia.

Key Discussion Topics:

• Belarus as a logistics hub: which implemented joint projects in Belarus can serve as anchor initiatives for industrial logistics?
• From Minsk to Vladivostok and back: advanced solutions for intermodal and secure cargo transportation.
• Digital platforms in logistics: can they become the nervous system of a unified industrial space?
• How can cross‑border logistics become a source of competitive advantage rather than a cost?
• Project logistics: special orders and transportation of complex objects.

High tech and advanced materials are one of the key drivers of industrial cooperation between Russia and Belarus. The development of their production and extraction directly affects the machine building, construction, transport, and energy sectors. Given the growing demand for high tech materials and the need to strengthen technological sovereignty, the metal products market of the Union State requires a new level of coordination and joint projects.

The mining sector is on the verge of a technological revolution. Hydrogen energy, autonomous control systems, and digital platforms are reshaping quarries reducing operating costs, improving safety, and cutting the carbon footprint. What will change in mining over the next 5–10 years? How will hydrogen and autonomous control systems replace diesel and drivers? And, most importantly, who is already developing these technologies today?

Key Discussion Topics:

• The role of corporate universities and research and technical centers in upskilling current engineers and workers.
• Dual education: how to systematically integrate real world production tasks into university curricula.
• Talent accelerators: how to retain young engineers in production and offer them fast track career paths in the era of digitalization.
• Inter university cooperation between Russia and Belarus. Building networked research and education centers in materials science, robotics, and AI.
• Gaps between education programs and the actual needs of manufacturing plants.

Key Discussion Topics:

• Key trends in digital manufacturing: automation, monitoring and safety systems, and AI implementation in production. Which industries are most affected?
• A dialogue between leaders in industrial IT development and top manufacturers.
• Collaborative efforts and implementation of roadmaps for deploying in house software.
• Software safety is paramount: what threats do manufacturers face as they adopt domestic solutions?

Key Discussion Topics:

• Scaling current existing investment models: from building a solid foundation to comprehensive industrial cooperation.
• New financing tools: concessions, infrastructure bonds, and EDB projects.
• Removing administrative barriers within the cluster.

Key Discussion Topics:

• The Union State Machine Tool: which models are ready for serial production, and what competencies still need to be combined?
• Robotization of Russian and Belarusian plants. How to scale up the use of industrial robots at medium and large enterprises?
• Flexible manufacturing modules: how does their implementation change the approach to batch production, changeovers, and equipment utilization across Union State enterprises?
• Additive technologies in machine tool and mechanical engineering. Which parts, tooling, and instruments can already be produced via layer-by-layer synthesis? What R&D tasks remain open? How are additive methods integrated into traditional production chains?
• Establishing an industry wide shared use center for machine tool builders: its functions, objectives, and funding sources.
• Workforce for machine tool building. How to overcome the shortage of process engineers and operators of complex equipment?

Export is more than just selling goods abroad. It is a complex architecture that includes logistics, finance, certification, currency control, and building trust‑based relationships with partners. Companies that adopt a systematic approach to export gain access to growing markets and long‑term contracts.

Key Discussion Topics:

• What formats of international cooperation work best under current conditions?
• How to build a financial model for an export transaction from payments to risk insurance?
• Where are the new growth opportunities for Russia’s non‑resource exports?
• What role do banks play in supporting export projects from consulting to currency control?

Today’s industry requires innovative approaches to digitalization, transport, and resource logistics. For businesses in Eurasia, a key priority remains identifying new opportunities for industrial cooperation within the most technologically integrated geographic space. At the same time, countries are currently focused on mechanisms to integrate their production chains and create conditions for launching joint high-tech projects. At the second Trade Fair INNOPROM.Belarus, heads of delegations, the leaders of the EAEU governments, will jointly define the development directions for Eurasian industrial partnership.
