Registration opens for guided tours of the new exposition "Region-2030. Platform of the Future"

---

Registration has opened on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA for guided tours of the new exposition "Region-2030. Platform of the Future". The project will showcase the achievements of Russian regions, their strategic development plans, as well as domestic technological solutions of the Russian Export Centre.

The first seven regions to take part in the exposition are the Chelyabinsk, Tula, Voronezh and Amur regions, the Nenets Autonomous Area, the Republic of Dagestan and the Jewish Autonomous Region. Each of them has prepared a stand combining modern multimedia technologies with authentic historical artefacts.

The exposition of the Nenets Autonomous Area will immerse visitors in the atmosphere of the Russian Arctic, home to the cultural treasures of the indigenous peoples. Its key growth driver is resource potential — 97 hydrocarbon deposits with reserves exceeding those of Western Europe. Projects in alternative energy are being implemented, including the use of mini-nuclear power plants in partnership with the Kurchatov Institute. Another promising area is unmanned aviation for logistics, infrastructure monitoring and support of reindeer herding, which remains an important element of Russia’s food security.

The concept of the Chelyabinsk region’s stand is built around four key "alloys" that reveal the strategic vision of the region’s future. The alloy of technology demonstrates the region’s industrial potential — a leader in mechanical engineering, producing 90% of Russia’s tracked vehicles and the country’s only tower cranes. The alloy of tradition highlights the link between heritage and modernity, featuring the famous Zlatoust steel engraving and Kasli cast iron art. The alloy of innovation presents phygital graffiti, an interactive sandbox, a lunar rover robot and an inter-university world-class campus.

At the Republic of Dagestan’s stand, key regional development projects are presented, including glass and fruit and vegetable clusters, the "City of Shoemakers", a wind power station and a transport and logistics complex. Particular attention is paid to the Caspian coastal cluster — a large-scale project in marine tourism. An interactive map visualises tourist routes and industrial facilities. The artistic design is inspired by the architecture of mountain Dagestan with an emphasis on defensive structures, such as the stylised Goor tower.

The exposition of the Tula region introduces visitors to the works of Russian writer Leo Tolstoy and his family estate "Yasnaya Polyana", as well as to the landscape paintings of Vasily Polenov. In the section "Tula Today", visitors can explore the region’s achievements in sports and even try themselves as athletes, as well as take a video tour of the small towns of the Tula region. In the "Future" section, landmark developments are presented in unmanned aerial systems, the chemical industry and high technologies.

The Voronezh region will be presented by the stand "From the primal fire to peaceful atom". The main design element of the stand will be a multimedia "river" symbolising the many rivers of the Voronezh region, such as the Don and the Voronezh, where between 1696 and 1711 more than 200 different ships were built for the nascent Russian Navy. In the "Peaceful Atom" zone, visitors will learn about the region’s achievements in nuclear energy, the production of liquid rocket engines for space launch vehicles and intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as the fact that the aviation plant in Voronezh manufactures and services the legendary "Board No. 1" (Il-96), the aircraft of the President of Russia. In the zone of future projects, the Voronezh region will present models of "Petrovsky Island" and the "Metrobus".

The Jewish Autonomous Region is known for its unique natural landscapes and cultural identity. The economic block of its exposition will feature an interactive map of mineral resources, a 3D model of a bridge to China and up-to-date data on trade turnover with Asia-Pacific countries.

The central element of the Amur region’s stand is the unique geographical and economic role of the region, reinforced by interactive zones. Visitors can explore professions of the future and learn about the opportunities offered by local educational institutions. Particular attention is given to the space industry: guests can virtually launch the "Angara-A5" rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. An important part of the stand is the presentation of joint projects with China, including the first cross-border cableway and the international bridge across the Amur River.

Complementing the exposition is the "Made in Russia" section, organised by the Russian Export Centre. Visitors will discover the activities of domestic companies actively exporting products and services to the international market in areas such as mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, information and communication technologies, medicine, biotechnology, robotics and the creative industries.

You can register for a guided tour of the exposition "Region-2030. Platform of the Future" on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA russia.ru in the "Events" section.
