newcomers to cosign are sure to take it to work to cities kremlin it's a unesco world heritage site with a breathtaking array of minarets you get the full domes within a few hundred feet of each other increasingly though it's visitors may just be stopping off to see the sights while pursuing more serious business that was certainly the mood last fall when a delegation of silicon valley entrepreneur met with other suns top officials to discuss investment opportunities in the russian republic after a long trip from their familiar california confines their hosts were eager to point out that the necessary infrastructure was in place for shipment deal if yes we're doing now is specializing we have been grad that will develop the petrochemical industry has on its. specialize in information technology research and development flush we have a facility in the town as comes with a palomas will be reprocessed and we have specially designated zones for major high taken vestment projects are looking like much of russia touchstones economy is

heavily dependent on industrial production accounting for nearly half of the regional g.d.p. within that segment traditional strong suits like mining metal works an oral refining remain the driving force behind the statistics there's a growing interest in modernization across all industries high tech is long played a role in designs economy but it i.t. part innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california venture capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to understand was worthy of investor attention. russian and international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic made the case in painstaking detail the clear message to terrorists. economic tide is turning towards a new imposition on top technology. economic regions of the russian federation about sixty percent of. the structure comes from

the. industries and one of the main objectives of. the economy. looking for investments but first. investments so the investment in high tech. and in. business name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground within id park since our visit last october it's come alive with new tenants in for monaco's one new resident that already directly impacts the lives of to understand citizens notably in a project they've realized for the republic's government interested in the buzz around each ministration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution in for much for unified online state services. customisation out a series of strict requirements for the infamous of ministre once

a number of specific functions this includes a fool for money printing a variety of payment services documents counting and a video link up with the cool sense. from the looks of it the infamous has a lot in common with the automated tellers that pump out our cash or the electronic she asks where thousands of russians pay their mobile phone or home internet bills and on the whole that's a good thing jews are quicker to adapt to familiar looking hard wear but the key element in from out apart from its look alikes in previous generations are wired in its inner workings the government asked informatica to incorporate the capacity to pay for sign up for life for and receive confirmation of a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state. each of these functions needs it's a whole new software and hardware design. at this point we don't know of any competitors that produce this kind of equipment with the same characteristics some

of them have princes with tiny trace for example holding only two hundred fifty sheets. this haven't included a video link with the cool sensor using a single lens reflex camera as a scanner is our own case since his solution over. the camera allows for documents scanning without the own we'll be cover other features right at your fingertips you can read your bank cards bar codes and passports full size documents or cashiers receipts and take payment for everything from property tax to parking tickets myself. and first the water for a new motor was developed westfield angles an ergonomic current series six or four and she and i just played a full scale called model how to recreate it you wish it's a focus groups a group of the participants based on individual preferences said whether it was convenient or inconvenience and whether they like to just like to only after that did we switch over to missile and start making the real thing. that

go ahead was given informatica went to local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware. tiniest detail protective plates and sighting panels have to be for sitting carts and welded from sheets of the desired metals and local workshops have valuable experience in the arena of mass production metalworking. is an interesting example of how a new high technology solutions can support the continued growth of more traditional economic centers. these in turn benefit from the call to compete for contracts to help with products in a buyer's market expecting higher standards. as a significant enough. components involved in monitoring its own state including he never used consumption rates the tools. exist. to tell nobody even my terminals in proper shape and come to stand red white and

green for money he gets down to the nuts and bolts of packing the kiosks full of the electronic communications equipment they need to do their many jobs each of the inputs needs to be suited to the central computer which they need the connections speaking government payments network some of the solution seems almost too good to be true with hard drives printers and given the digital camera hardly different from the ones we have around the office but here simplicity is savings we're talking about the ease of supplying servicing and replacing components when staring government buildings all over the republic. there is a wide range of different services provided by these in from out machines the principal task was to provide appropriate access to the service to various sites structures for example is cash based operations are carried out of the right door then only cash handling and security organizations should have access to it right in this case they have banks or some other specialized organization either on this

side the only people who change or site roles in the receipt printer or service these machines will be given access to them and this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register blood isn't a full person consequently only organizations that service the tunnel should have access to it even if this is also for opening servicing or taking out the camera scanner here organizations that service the printer in this case change the contradiction load the paper and generally ensure that the printer operates normally we showed up at the state property registry to see the informatics in action we found them being used by a broad segment of citizens they may have come here for something specific but services related to other administrative divisions were also excessive. queues are getting. because of the popularity of these machines one more thing to submit an application is through the info so they don't have to come here two or three times but instead submit their applications where it's convenient call them they come to

us only took pains to finalize documents before going to official figures for the first three months of two thousand and eleven in for my visits and more than tripled their handling nearly twice the volume of the increase and more than four times the inflow of applications as people realize they could reserve other appointments and take she asks that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made to him for my. back i t. park another company has attracted a crowd of potential foreign clients and investors to present their unique integration of the brushing not sat nav system with the software and communications complex they coordinate scene from instead their stance emergency services ice is to come rushing companies need to be creating in earning money on a regional intellectual property and with that in mind information technologies a sector way in selection of probity concerned it's a products pretty quickly becoming a good source of income that's part of the object with the glowing us one one two pilot project based hearing because on with this satellite network in place they're

developing and marketing a system to integrate and simplify emergency dispatcher services one one two is the unified emergency phone number for the e.u. and now russia much like nine one one in north america or ninety nine in the u.k. these operators take those calls and direct their version information to emergency workers in the field whose locations they can track on maps generated by the glowing us sat nav system. them urgency situations can strike almost anywhere at any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this istomin aims to cut out steps by getting info straight to the service needed increasing our first response capacity. this central design fire station agreed to show us how the new bonus one one two system is impacting their work and the effectiveness of the by saving services they provide.

the control room is all computerized with the integration of locally develop sat nav and software producing interactive digital maps of emergency sites and units in the field we didn't light any buildings on fire to test them but the calls came in over the way. the asli if we received a message that the fire rescue line zero one about a road accident where people needed some kind of help we had to dial the police at zero two or the state road traffic and special we had to dial a third number to call an ambulance so we had to carry out all three of these operations in turn now with a new unified one one two system the difference is that dispatchers fill out a single online form they write the address and what kind of help is needed and simultaneously dispatch this information to all services. russia's federal emergency situations ministry plans the future of such systems to look something like this traumatization transmitters in private cars will signal the call center

that in accidents occurred if calls to the glowing us emergency phone in the automobile aren't successful rescue teams are on the ready to the scene of the emergency by the same sad network rescuers cut down on time it's crucial to saving endangered lives it may seem a bit far fetched today but not for long transmitters like those being tested by design emergency vehicles may be required on russian cars by twenty thirty one ocean was very interesting and important that separate regions have already launched projects both on their own issues and in cooperation with the arab world in a system like creating. already started and the goals of basically decided in the future will combine our developments and experience to create the final core of the republic of tatarstan. has accumulated considerable experience in this field. of study glumness one one two and in four months both came from cars on side t. park but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different check sectors but the stone spread

zambian consigned to include several high tech investment zones in cities like mission accomplished nobody in the show me and lynn of course we all hate it's in the sense of the most densely populated area and every second of the russian federation lives within one thousand kilometer distance and today it's very important. national companies that's located in the sense of the mood in the cities think is the main in russia they concentrated in minutes it's a human resources he's one of the different cultures in terms of quality quantity and travel. travel with us on this about forty five percent or even less. which case invests huge flexibility as you face in motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand

and ten opening of the massive to go refinery in these new cars its first teacher any wealth would have seven million tonnes of crude continues to advance to the stones keep patrolling position petrochemical products like polyethylene rubber pig and tougher stunts which tops forty percent of russia's productivity in both as well as roughly a third of the whole country's tires many of those tires go on to talk to stun me trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are either durable come ons workhorses from the british need show me or feed on trucks from the lot will get special economic zone. because on helicopter factory pumps out choppers used around the world and that's just one part of the important aviation sector that's long been top flight in time stock increasingly modern aviation engineers are building specifically purpose machines propelled by programs or remote guidance systems essentially planes that need no pilot to control their flight path. drawing on over a half century of aviation no help is on socal experimental design bureau is making

strides in this expanding it has turned the tables from its first piloted engine with spiders in the sixty's unpiloted aircraft today. it's through the idea of using drones as flying targets is really quite obvious so you missed the has embraced so-called design bureau has accumulated a unique experience in this arena so since it was founded this enterprise is designed several generations of on piloted flying target systems and each of these targets was used by russian armed services and its time we would even the. most recent generation of so-called targets is called done it is just designed to take off from a light mobile launcher for use almost anywhere in military testing in training they can flying groups of up to four stay aloft for over an hour and range from fifty meters to roughly nine thousand meters in elevation weapon systems are complicated and costly so they're fine tuning in functionality are worth the cost

of flying targets but designing a whole arsenal of drone targets for different simulations is overkill so the dynamic is meant to perform is the objective of many different in-flight exercises and the opposing cranes are in great demand not only for the air force but also in the anti aircraft defense schools it is so they need tritons which the contrast is easy to serve as multiple weapons are effectively imitating old kinds of man tanks . only three hundred fifty kilograms they done em is pretty light for any aircraft and that's an advantage in a field that values flexibility and ease of transport it just means so goes workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize the flying targets to maneuver ability with a minimum of bad mass to imitate various targets the dunham's engines can generate speeds from three hundred to seven hundred fifty kilometers per hour blasting it out of the sky isn't the only pos. so it's equipped with a dual system which allows a single target for him to be used up to ten times it can be guided via programmed

autopilot or from the remote control center all of these features undergo constant updates on a cheaper and more reliable line of control systems has been developed it has pulse all the tests and is operating successfully in addition and you also a pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved quality of flight. so who's flying targets are so tricky that only about one in every ten gets shot down . three feet is an exhibition stand for development and testing of navigation and control systems basically the eyes and brains of the drones we designed the ground based test complex consists of computers that control the flight dynamics of a model as well as performance monitoring of the navigation and control system installed here is exactly like the real thing now we're going to switch on this

equipment. of control actuators shows how the pilot system reacts to disturbances which we can create with the help of a rotary axis changing the pitch angle of the sensor units and the banking angle this is how we imitate in a cross angle in vertical plane we can judge whether the flight control system is ready for operation by changes in the test parameters of the sensor units substitution of miniature components in control systems has decreased the system's weight increase the speed of the aircraft increase the maximum fuel payload and the flight range accordingly this is a craft can withstand acceleration force of up to nine g. can nose dive and pitch up and sustain lateral acceleration forces sensually it's a flying robots. with all the smart stuff packed into the fuselage it's time to hold everything down. spread their wings and see if the drone is up to snuff before it can put top weapon systems to the test it done him has to undergo some pretty

stringent testing of its own the list of modern russian designed military hardware done in this help develop is nothing to mess with and includes fighter jets like to make twenty nine which is being delivered in a massive contract with india's navy this suit thirty variation developed for the chinese air force india s four hundred triumph any aircraft system stew more unpiloted excitement lies ahead for so-called. future unpiloted aircraft we plan to reach an entirely new technological level bush will on the one hand and i was to significantly raise the end. be providing a new generation of equipment that allows new hardware and programming solution. the so-called design duro is planning to carve out a nice in the already crowded russian drone market build an unpiloted multipurpose

aircraft weighing in at about one hundred kilograms so far it's all blueprints behind closed doors but given their past excess the picture looks good going forward in the soviet union kodak moments were brought to you by house about who made their film professor chemical right here it is because on factory today the same site is home to a grand new innovation chemical cluster called him god the so-called tech novelist has resurrected over one hundred thirty had pairs of mostly have been in brownfield in the place of one giant organization besides establishing a base of innovative small and medium sized petrochemical projects they could help jumpstart economic development across the republic the sun you suppose would have to be here are several major petrochemical plants and chargers time to switch exporter considerable part of their products most is going to just the middle so that's why we have seven objectives to process at least thirty percent of polymer. the republican is going to get to the jobs taxes and the out of value remain in the republican economy we could disappear at the humor out high tech cluster we're

creating the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies that aim to do the kind of work the pleasure process polymers the most the the necessary infrastructure has been created a company can count on preferential terms for moving into premises in a module building like this one which fully meets all safety standards and is fitted out with all modern technological infrastructure to work if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a lot a lot less which requires utilities where is will be able to record auction facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any hold ups the project was launched in two thousand and seven today we have a hundred eleven residents and more than four thousand new jobs when we set an ambitious goal to increase the number of companies operating him to at least two hundred with these companies we hope to create a total of ten thousand new jobs wolfman's the fulfullment this it does each of which is as of today a deflection factory within the human complex is the production facility of the

russian flexible packaging company down to fix if you've been in russia long enough to shop for your favorite condiments there's a good chance they're back in a plastic film produced hearings on to put all those products on supermarket shelves these lines pump out kilometers of labeled plastic wrapping each day the item of the hour here is minis massive rules of translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with coats of clued safety being layered on progressively as the plastic passes the rollers the machinery is all about perception so that the red writing is exactly the right grid the egg yolks are exactly the right yellow and the vegetables they're natural great the reels finally finish samples are tested electronically to assure the true colors where does the plastic film come from in the first place. before still in the plastics extrusion trays. yes everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special you matic lines through the hole and interest has an extra just the ground you get

mail to down then this melted material gets pulled into the special rotating done and then the film bubble goes up to twenty meters cooling slowly. after that it's pressed by a special collapsing frying and turned into what's called a lay flat and this lay flat film comes back down there it gets cut at the sides and wound into robes on the. brain used to start the whole process are made of kali s.l.e. the world's most common plastic both clear unlike wrinkles produce the corresponding color of packaging material in a clear great meals that supply down a fix for me right down the road it doesn't or seem to russia's biggest polyethylene producer the equipment design is about cooling a plastic film of the desired thickness not just because a twenty meter plastic tornado looks amazing plastics extrusion can be performed by many different methods this is called blown film extrusion volume and pressure of

air blown into the massive tube stretches it determining the dimensions of the film that will descend on the rolls it's the most efficient way of producing this kind of film but down the flex has new packaging materials in its sights. so recently we produce mostly known barrier packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene terrify little like these for a standard mayonnaise package so we produce beriah packaging based on the leaving them for oil but foil is rather difficult to process and converts just by bringing it to you can see our green who did a lot of words processing it by machinery is even harder even worse this material is practically known recyclable as a result of the project was started to produce thin film membrane instead of aluminum foil moving the project was established together with. through that project we produced the first membrane that has the same barry attributes as aluminum. but you have go with a number of additional advantages it's transparent which allows you to see the

product inside it because the most small this film is recyclable. so the new membrane will replace traditional foil in highbury or packaging all the same properties in a tiny fraction of the thickness new composite films are also on the menu for the gonna flex most non-o. partnership for this products ministration composite materials will go into the mixture from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost. than in a representatives made clear during a california delegations visit last october this project is just the tip of cut the sun skinny the investment nice we should buy if we believe the agreement we've signed with works very well very reliably which in the doing we have projects grounds of the so-called clean tech sphere including alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to biotechnologies an optical components for telecommunications close in. behind the facade of traditional beauty because on the surrounding region he's focusing on twenty first century functionality if you go to

visit you just might change your life we've only just begun to scratch the surface of the sounds high tech potential for out of time for this month in moscow stalling fortunately we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the only capital of russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update and until then enjoy the ride.
