The message reads, in part:
“Russia has rightfully been renowned for its generations of talented scientists, engineers, designers, and inventors. Their outstanding discoveries and accomplishments have enriched global scientific and technological progress and made a profound contribution to the development of our national industry, energy sector, and military industrial complex.
It is gratifying to see these proud traditions of innovation and hard work being actively upheld today. A notable contribution to this continuity is this large project, Engineers of the Future, which for over a decade has brought together dynamic, purposeful young people with daring, forward-looking ideas. The platform offers excellent opportunities for creative development, helping young men and women acquire new knowledge and skills, while also playing a vital role in raising the profile and prestige of engineering careers. Equally important is the fact that this forum is held with the strong support of well-respected partners: major industrial companies, engineering firms, leading technical universities, and public organisations across Russia.
I am confident that this gathering will be a great success, and that the innovative ideas and proposals generated by its participants will definitely be sought after.”
