The digital and technological transformation of industry in line with the Vision 2030 strategy opens up unprecedented opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation between Russia and Saudi Arabia, said Veronika Nikishina, head of the Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF Group), at the plenary session of INNOPROM.
"The Vision 2030 strategy calls for economic diversification with an increased share of non-resource revenues to create a more sustainable growth model. Russia is moving in this direction, and domestic manufacturers can offer a variety of advanced solutions for integrating into such a strategy," Veronika Nikishina.
The most promising areas of partnership include the "smart cities" being built by the Kingdom and the associated IT infrastructure. Russian companies offer competitive solutions in cybersecurity, resource accounting systems, artificial intelligence for urban traffic management, and modular data centers, the head of the Russian Export Center emphasized.
In addition to traditional oil and gas service technologies, Russia is also ready to offer nuclear and renewable energy technologies. The Saudi Arabian side is currently negotiating these with the state corporation Rosatom and other Russian companies.
"Agricultural technologies and food security offer enormous potential, and we suggest seeking partners. We see interest in Russian solutions for water treatment and desalination. Russian innovations in organic farming are in demand, as are developments in crop protection, biofertilizers, and irrigation systems," Veronika Nikishina.
High-tech transport is also in demand in the Kingdom, including unmanned systems for agriculture and infrastructure and traffic monitoring. Russian companies presented these and other flagship solutions at INNOPROM within the framework of Made in Russia joint stand.
