The university’s innovation ecosystem comprises over 150 specialized laboratories, research and educational centers, research and production centers, and engineering centers, including the Advanced Engineering School, the Supercomputer Center, a technopark, and a center for youth scientific and technological creativity. The leading positions in Russian and international rankings serve as one indicator of the successful work of all the university’s scientific departments.

Polytech effectively develops network collaboration with the business community. Our scientists create competitive products and technologies for traditional and emerging markets, ensuring import substitution of products and technologies for industrial production.

We envision the further development of the university as a center of excellence in research and education through the accomplishment of the following objectives:

• Development and implementation of innovative solutions and scientific advancements into priority sectors of the economy;
• Cooperation with major research and production enterprises and companies utilizing high-tech technologies;
• Ensuring the interconnection between educational and research activities to foster scientific schools and train highly qualified engineering personnel;
