The management of industrial policy in the Government of the Russian Federation will be reformatted to meet the objectives of technological sovereignty. This is reported with reference to the draft resolution prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. "Kommersant".

We are talking about a modification of the import substitution commission established in 2015. It will be transformed into the management board for industry. The main task of the new body will be to support Russian companies and their developments. The government decree establishes the priority of technology policy.

With this decision, the Ministry of Industry and Trade plans to abandon attempts to increase localization of foreign manufacturers. The prepared document notes that the potential for light import substitution has been exhausted. Some of the imports have been replaced since 2022, but for the structural transformation of the economy, it is necessary to create mechanisms for translating their own innovations into a final product for the supply-side economy.".
