Putin sent greetings to the participants of the Bioprom forum

The introduction of innovative technologies in various fields from medicine and pharmaceuticals to energy and housing and communal services largely determines the quality of life of people, their health and environmental well-being, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The head of state sent greetings to the participants of the international forum “Bioindustry: Industry and Technologies for Humans,” which begins on Monday. The President noted that the forum brought together representatives of relevant ministries, departments, scientific and educational institutions, expert and business circles at the Gelendzhik Arena, who would discuss a wide range of problems related to the development of the bioeconomy in Russia.

“I would like to emphasize that today it is the introduction of innovative technologies in medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, in agriculture and forestry, energy and housing and communal services that largely determines the quality of life of people, their health and environmental well-being,” Putin said.

The President noted that the new national project “Technological support for the bioeconomy” is called upon to play a special role in solving these large-scale and sought-after tasks.

“It is aimed at consolidating the efforts of the state, business and science to develop systematic approaches to creating advanced, competitive industries and modern jobs, increasing the share of bioindustry products in the consumption structure, and ensuring the technological independence of our country in this strategically important area,” Putin added.
