3. Strategy of innovative development of the Russian
Federation to 2020. Innovative Russia – 2020
Endorsed by the Russian Government 08.12.2011 N 2227-р
n Start of wide use of biotechnologies, that will
change not only the traditional agrarian sector, but
will become a base for high-technology methods for
diagnostics, therapy and prophylactics of diseases
and development of bioinformatics
n 10 out of 34 Critical Technologies of Russia refer
to biotechnologies
n Technology platforms … will become an important
instrument for formulating national priorities of the
technological development
n Technology platforms will concentrate on:
n … biotechnologies including industrial
biotechnologies and bioenergy, biomedicine and
biopharmaceuticals, agrobio- and food
biotechnologies

4. Recent Bioeconomy initiatives

5. Main competitive
advantages of Russia
n Oil and gas
n Mineral resources
n Forestation, 1180 mln.ha
n 20 % of world’s forest resources
n 50 % of coniferous forests
n Land (fertile, arable)
n 10% of arable land, 195 mln.ha
n 60% of most productive world black soils are
located in Russia and Ukraine
n About 20 mln.hectars of arable land are
temperately out of agricultural production
n Grain harvest ~100 mln.t, projected surplus
up to 30 mln.t
n Water
n water resources, 30,000 m3 per capita
n irrigated land, 86,000 m2 per capita
n BIOMASS

6. Co-ordinated program of biotechnology
development in the Russian Federation to 2020
Governmental commission on high-tech and innovations requested
on 01.04.2011 to draft the
Co-ordinated Program of Biotechnology
Development in the Russian Federation to 2020
(BIO-2020)
that was signed on 24.04.12

7. BIO-2020 – main features
n Horizon planning - to 2020
n Areas covered:
n Biopharmaceuticals & Biomedicine
n Extension of already existing Pharma2020 program
n Industrial biotechnology
n Bioenergy
n Agrobio
n Forest biotechnology
n Marine biotechnology and aquaculture
n The Program calls for
n drafting >30 reports to the Government
n important changes in legislation and standards

8. Main goals
n To initiate bioeconomy development in Russia
n To support new economy segments
associated with industrial biotechnology
n To stimulate and develop already existing
priority market segments for biotech products
- agrobio, food
The strategic goal is the level of
bioeconomy ~ 1 % of GDP by 2020, and
~3 % of GDP by 2030

9. Agenda
n Translate main ideas of BIO2020 into Federal
and regional programs
n Allocate resources
n Draft operative plans and road-maps
n Draft necessary legislation and technical
requirements
n Promote 1-2 biotech regional bio-clusters

10. Technology platforms as an
instrument to develop bioeconomy
Technology Platforms in Biotechnology
Medicine of the Future BioTech2030 Bioenergy
Lomonosov Moscow
Siberian State Medical
State University Kurchatov Institute
University
&
Russian Technologies
State Corporation

11. Selected priority areas
n Biorefineries (grain, lignocellulose, algae)
n Platform chemicals
n Bioplastics and biomaterials
n Biocatalysis
n Transgenic plants and animals
n Valorization of waste
n Pulp and paper
n Functional foods and feeds

12. Way forward
n Bioeconomy should become a national priority
n Implementation of the Bio-2020 program
n TPs should be properly integrated in the state decision making
mechanism at all levels: federal, regional, sectorial/ministerial
n Support of SRA formulated by TPs in the frame of federal and regional
programs
n Stimulation of biotech businesses, creation of markets
n State procurement as an instrument to develop markets for biotech
products
n Stimulate businesses introducing biotech products, destimulate
outdated technologies
n Technical regulation, standardization
n Support of regional biocluster development
n Tatarstan, Chuvash, Omsk, Puschino, Tambov, Belgorod, etc.
