MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. Young experts can apply to participate in the All-Russian Youth Competition for students and specialists in the IT industry, industrial design, manufacturing and other related professions; the opportunity will be available until October 21, and the best developments will become part of the ecosystem of the capital’s industrial sector, said Anatoly Garbuzov, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy (DIPP).

The competition will take place as part of the International Investment and Industrial Forum on October 23–25 at the site of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone.

The total prize fund is 2.5 million rubles.

“The hackathon, organized under the auspices of the “Open #Mosprom” project, on the one hand, is an opportunity for the city to demonstrate to the younger generation real advanced technologies and the scale of the capital’s industry. On the other hand, for talented students and aspiring specialists, it is a chance not just to prove themselves, but to offer practical solutions that can be implemented at a specific enterprise,” Garbuzov said, as quoted by the press service of the Moscow Institute of Industrial and Industrial Enterprises.

He noted that the capital's industrial sector is developing at a rapid pace. According to him, there are 4,735 manufacturing enterprises in the city, employing 767 thousand people - almost every tenth employed in the economy of the metropolis.

It is noted that participants will be able to try their hand at developing an AI assistant to help with personnel adaptation, creating an intelligent service for monitoring industrial safety violations using video from cameras on Russian LinQ AI accelerators, preparing a service for automatically selecting FDM 3D/5D printing parameters, developing a concept for a showroom for a laser equipment manufacturer, as well as creating a digital tool to attract young specialists.

You can apply for participation on the project website. To do this, you need to register, fill out a form in your personal account, assemble a team of 3-5 people and select a case to solve at the hackathon.

The competition will be held in a hybrid format: you will be able to work on tasks both online and at the event site.
