This was stated by President Vladimir Putin in a video message to participants of the international youth forum “Engineers of the future”. It started today in the Tula region.
It is a platform for those who have connected their lives with science and technology. More than a thousand young professionals will learn from guest speakers and present their groundbreaking projects in a matter of days. The program includes more than two hundred events. The forum was launched today by the governor of the region Alexey Dyumin.
A young engineer, Semen Ektov, has developed a mobile electric lift for the disabled, which can be folded and carried on a backpack. It is made according to the characteristics of a particular person.
“My project was born from the story of my life. My friend broke his neck. I saw the difficulties his family was facing and wanted to help him in some way,” said Semyon Ektov, a member of the Engineers of the Future forum.

“It is designed to deliver various cargoes. In particular, it can be used to inspect certain areas and assist fire departments and others. It is more of a definition of certain places where a person cannot reach. It can also deliver certain drugs there to people who find themselves in emergency situations,” said Maxim Kirsanov, a junior researcher in the Laboratory of Primary Information Sensors, Guidance and Navigation Systems.
For the second consecutive year, the forum starts in the Tula region. About a thousand participants and guests from 73 countries came to Armory Capital.
“They are graduate students and students. This, of course, is a great constellation that is already working in our businesses.

Future engineers – all no more than 35 – will exchange experiences and present their developments, which, by the way, are already being introduced into production.
