"Digitalization of Industry" annual conference opens in Naberezhnye Chelny
State Duma People’s Deputy Aydar Metshin, Tatarstan Minister of Digitalization Ilya Nachvin, Deputy Head of the Naberezhnye Chelny Executive Committee Natalya Kropotova and Chairman of the Board of the Tatarstan Industrial Cluster Sergey Mayorov spoke at the opening ceremony of the third annual conference "Digitalization of Industry", which was held in Naberezhnye Chelny IT Park and brought together over 300 participants, including enterprise leaders, IT directors, developers and integrators.
Today, process automation helps companies grow, but many enterprises lack the expertise for efficient implementation of new technologies. Forum participants will examine case studies of large companies that have successfully achieved full digital maturity.
"Tatarstan Government is also actively engaged in this process. We have adopted a comprehensive AI development programme that provides useful tools for everyone. We are creating a cluster of powerful servers, where enterprises can rent computing capacity for AI projects and test their solutions," Tatarstan Minister of Digitalization Ilya Nachvin explained
The event’s program is divided into eight levels of digital maturity — from basic automation to full AI integration. This approach will help leaders clearly assess their current level, understand which technologies to adopt next and evaluate the tangible benefits of their IT projects.
Industry leaders such as KAMAZ, Tatneft, MTS, Innopolis Special Economic Zone, Positive Technologies, Digit Group, Riel Engineering and others will share their experiences. Experts will present real-world case studies and demonstrate how modern technologies contribute to increased production efficiency.
Participants will discuss issues related to automotive digitalization, robotics, cybersecurity and the creation of digital twins. Companies will also learn about government support measures and subsidies available for businesses.
Simultaneously, an exhibition of active IT products is underway, showcasing everything from monitoring systems to AI solutions. Leading developers such as Prometey-T, the Applied Robotics Group, Mars Technologies, Eidos Robotics, VPG Lazeraun, and InduTех will present their cutting-edge developments.
