In 10 years, there should be no accidents on utility networks in St. Petersburg, and defects will be corrected proactively — the heads of urban energy enterprises spoke at the RIEF-2025 about the introduction of innovations in urban management systems.

The northernmost metropolis in the world, St. Petersburg, continues to develop, which means that the load on urban utilities is increasing, and living standards are rising. The participants of the session «Energy of a megacity: how to meet the high expectations of consumers», held as part of the Russian International Energy Forum at the Expoforum Exhibition Center» told how to meet the expectations of citizens and improve the efficiency of the infrastructure.

The main task of power engineers is to ensure reliable power supply to all facilities at any point in the system, said Igor Kuzmin, General Director of ROSSETI Lenenergo PJSC. The company is systematically reducing the time to eliminate interruptions, and now, on average, it takes only 60 minutes to restore power supply. Most of them remain almost invisible to consumers: substations automatically switch to backup circuits. AI-based systems allow you to predict what will happen if an element is disabled and make decisions immediately.

The constant emergence of new residential complexes and entire districts leads to an increase in energy consumption, so it is necessary to prepare new infrastructure at a faster pace, Igor Kuzmin noted, but the city’s investment program in the field of electric power industry in the amount of about 40 billion rubles per year allows this. In the future, we must strive not to disrupt the balance between electricity generation and transmission, he added.

St. Petersburg is used to a very high level of resource provision, recalled Ivan Boltenkov, General Director of SUE TEK SPb. He spoke about how, through rapid reconstruction in recent years, the city has achieved a radical reduction in accidents on heating mains, and assured that in 10 years, according to existing plans, an ideal heat supply system should appear in St. Petersburg, with a complete absence of expired networks and inefficient boilers. «We should strive not to eliminate defects quickly, but to manage them, that is, to identify and correct them even before they make themselves felt,» he explained.

Now, according to Ivan Boltenkov, many new technologies are being actively used to identify possible weaknesses in the system: robots moving inside pipes, acoustic sensors, shooting from drones in the infrared range, and so on. The path from approval to the introduction of innovations in SUE TEK SPb is very short, Ivan Boltenkov emphasized.

«In 10 years, we should not even talk about accidents, but only keep the networks in trouble-free condition,» Sergei Volkov, General Director of SUE Vodokanal St. Petersburg, supported him. He called the protection of the region’s ecology a key task in his field, because the Neva River is the only source of St. Petersburg’s water supply, and its purity must be taken care of. Already 100% of the water leaving the city’s sewage treatment plants meets all the strictest requirements and standards, Sergei Volkov assured (secondary water pollution can occur only during its transportation to the consumer via household utilities), but now it is necessary to force all industrial enterprises, including those located near the Neva River in the Leningrad Region, to comply with legislation regarding discharge of waste water into the river.

Vladimir Reznichenko, Director of SPb SBU Lensvet, in turn, spoke about the gradual transition of St. Petersburg to LED lighting. There are more than 400 thousand lighting fixtures in the city, and already more than 60% of them are powered by modern LEDs, which are Russian-made, Vladimir Reznichenko emphasized. LEDs consume noticeably less energy, which saves budget funds, and penetrate deeper and deeper: «If in the middle of the 20th century only major highways needed to be illuminated, then lighting went to courtyards, at first only to driveways, and now residents want lighting for playgrounds and squares.» Further development of lighting systems, the head of Lensvet noted, will depend on the requirements of the citizens: on the one hand, it is possible to move towards improving environmental standards, reducing light pollution and, as a result, reducing lighting at night in the same courtyards and parks, and on the other hand, safety issues may require maintaining and enhancing lighting.

In conclusion, Ivan Tregubov, Director of the Center for Energy Conservation, spoke about the increasingly popular practice of attracting investors to the housing and communal services sector through energy service contracts. In such cases, the investor’s costs are reimbursed by the savings achieved after the introduction of energy-saving technologies. More than 700 energy service contracts have been signed in St. Petersburg to modernize networks in schools, kindergartens, and hospitals, Ivan Tregubov said, and now the task is to attract investors to the housing stock.

A pilot project to modernize the heating system in a residential building in St. Petersburg at the expense of an investor has already been launched and has led to savings of 20–25%, he added. Many investors, including from other regions, are showing keen interest in the mechanism of energy service contracts, and dwellers, in addition to reducing payments, receive more comfortable living conditions, Ivan Tregubov summed up.

The specifics of the use of new technologies in welding were discussed by the participants of the plenary session «Trends and prospects for the development of welding and related technologies», which took place within the framework of the 22nd International Welding Exhibition at the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Center.

The Kurchatov Institute is engaged in import substitution: the center has developed a new metal combination for automatic welding of oil hydrotreating equipment, and also manufactures materials for transport reactor plants, said Mikhail Timofeev, Ph.D., Chief Welder of the Kurchatov Institute — Prometey Central Scientific Research Institute of Structural Materials. «By now, we have developed and certified modern materials for automatic welding, which allows us to solve the old problem of reducing metal resistance,» he said.

According to him, studies have also been conducted that show the possibility of predicting the high operability of welded joints throughout the life of the equipment. Now it is 60 years, and in the future it will be 100 years or more, the expert said.

Yuri Volobuev, Ph.D., Director of the Welding Institute of JSC «RPA «CNIITMASH» of Rosatom, spoke about new developments in new welding technologies. According to him, it is now necessary to ensure the possibility of operating nuclear reactors for up to 80–100 years and extend the operation of existing units. To increase the service life of the unit, it is necessary to solve the problem of increasing the resistance to brittle fracture of the metal of the welds. To solve this problem, RPA CSNIITMASH is improving the reactor vessel manufacturing technology by using a new combination of welding materials. The research results have shown that the use of a new ceramic flux helps to significantly increase the level of resistance to brittle fracture of the seam metal. RPA CSNIITMASH conducted these studies jointly with Izhora Welding Plants.

Gleb Turichin, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Rector of the St. Petersburg State Maritime Technical University, spoke about modern technologies of direct laser cultivation. Laser direct deposition (LDD) is an additive technology that consists in surfacing a metal supplied in powder form with a laser beam. LDD technologies are used to create new parts of complex geometry, reduce the number of parts in the final product, as well as repair and restore worn parts of products. According to Gleb Turichin, steels, nickel, titanium, copper alloys and their combinations are used for LDD. The maximum product size is 3,000 mm, the maximum height is 2,000 mm. Gleb Turichin added that LDD technology is now being introduced into the engine industry, in particular in the manufacture of high-pressure turbine housings for aircraft engines.

Sergey Parshin, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, spoke in his report about the features of technologies and equipment for underwater wet welding of shipbuilding steels. «The need to develop these technologies is linked to the development of the Northern Sea Route,» he said. The expert spoke about the main problems when using wet welding. For example, corrosion and microcracks often occur due to the high cooling rate of the metal.

«We have developed welding materials in the form of powder wires and special equipment, as well as introduced welding with induction heating and thermal insulation,» explained Sergey Parshin.

On April 9, the exhibition «Energy of Victory. Restoration», dedicated to the work of power engineers during the siege of Leningrad and the post-war years was inaugurated in the Convention and Exhibition Center Expoforum as part of RIEF-2025.

Sergey Kropachev, Vice Governor of St. Petersburg, thanked ExpoForum International for supporting the initiative of the Government of St. Petersburg to hold the Exhibition as part of the Russian Economic Forum for the second year.

«Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has declared 2025 the Year of Defender of the Fatherland. In May, we will celebrate the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War. We must remember the feat of our people and honor our history,» said Kropachev.

Petr Tishchenko, Chairman of the St. Petersburg Archival Committee, spoke about the task set by the Governor of the city, Aleksander Beglov: to acquaint citizens with the treasures of the documentary heritage of the city archives.

«Maksim Gorky noticed that workers who study the history of their company significantly increase their productivity. After that, the Stakhanov movement began in our country. Today we need energy to win again. During the siege, energy provided bread baking, factories, and newspaper printing in printing houses, where information about the defeat of the enemy was posted. 1 kW/hour is one mine or one shell for the front. At the Exhibition, you will see who these people are, who ensured the uninterrupted supply of energy to the city, and also learn what they have done to restore the work of factories, factories, and people’s lives,» Tishchenko said.

Faina Nedbai, Director of the Central State Archive of Scientific and Technical Documentation of St. Petersburg, spoke about the thematic areas of the exhibition.

«There are three leading lines at the exhibition — propaganda posters, people standing for the restoration of the city and documents about the feat of Leningrad power engineers in restoring the energy infrastructure of Leningrad and the region. The exhibition tells about the work of directors, chief engineers, the invention of underground substations, the construction of protective wire fences for electrified fields, the remounting of lightning protection cables to insulators, which allowed for the shipment of 600 thousand tons of peat to the rear,» said Nedbai.

She also noted that the electronic version of the exhibition can be seen using QR codes on the posters.

The application is developed on the basis of the no-code EVENTUM service.

The mobile application for the Russian International Energy Forum 2025 for iOS and Android is based on the no-code service for automation of logistics, navigation and networking of EVENTUM events from Operator Gazprom ID. After the successful implementation of the project for the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, a new application with expanded functionality has been developed for the RIEF, from smart selection of business contacts and the ability to schedule meetings at the event to organizing live broadcasts.

The application provides a single window of access to a wide range of functions relevant to Forum guests, including logistics and navigation settings, customizable event and news feeds, and event schedule management. The developers have paid special attention to business networking tools, thanks to which delegates can now schedule meetings directly in the digital environment. For ease of orientation, an interactive map of Expoforum locations has been implemented on the site, which helps to quickly find the right stands, meeting rooms and service areas.

Sergey Voronkov, General Director of Expoforum International:

«We have signed a memorandum of intent with Operator Gazprom ID, which created the EVENTUM product, to develop digital solutions within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2024. As one of the leaders of the convention and exhibition industry, we are interested in integrating advanced IT solutions that would increase the efficiency of business events and offer additional experiences to their participants. We already have positive experience in digital support of large-scale forums with the support of EVENTUM, and we are interested in developing this cooperation.»

Aurica Vilardi, EVENTUM Product Director:

«We provide services relevant for event organizers and guests in a single, intuitive solution that significantly reduces the cost of organizing an event and promptly launches it, even if it is already tomorrow. By the next release, we will introduce additional options, including an expanded privilege program and a seamless communication system for participants of various events both during and after the event. Established connections should not be lost, and a thematic community is always useful for exchanging ideas and finding new potential customers.»

The EVENTUM service is an application builder for organizing and holding events of any format and scale, from international fora and industry conferences to local festivals and corporate outings.

A special feature of the EVENTUM is its flexible modular architecture based on the no-code approach, which makes it possible to adapt digital solutions to the specifics of any event without involving developers and in the shortest possible time. The platform also supports the launch of hybrid events with the ability to integrate virtual rooms for networking and interactive tools for remote participants.

EVENTUM was launched by Operator Gazprom ID in October 2024.

The mobile application has been developed for the Russian Economic Forum and all events that take place on April 9–11 at Expoforum: International Exhibition «Housing and Communal Services of Russia — 2025», International Exhibition-Congress «Rustproofing — 2025», and International Exhibition on Welding, Cutting and Related Technologies «Welding — 2025».

On April 9, the opening of the Russian International Energy Forum (RIEF-2025) took place at the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Center.

Sergey Kropachev, Vice Governor of St. Petersburg, read out the welcoming address to the participants from Aleksander Beglov, Governor of the city.

«Despite the geopolitical tensions, the domestic energy sector has moved to develop in a new reality in the face of global changes. Russia holds a leading position in the extraction and export of fuel resources, confidently pursues a course towards import substitution and technological sovereignty.

The Russian International Energy Forum has become an indispensable platform for demonstrating cutting-edge developments. The energy sector of the Northern Capital plays a key role in strengthening the country’s scientific and technological potential. Every year, St. Petersburg confirms its leadership in the field of lean manufacturing and resource conservation. I am sure that the projects that we will see at the forum, ideas and proposals will serve as an impetus for further progress of the country’s economy and mutually beneficial international cooperation,» Aleksander Beglov wrote.

Sergey Kropachev also thanked ExpoForum International for supporting the initiative of the Government of St. Petersburg to hold an exhibition dedicated to the feat of power engineers during the Great Patriotic War as part of the RIEF for the second year. This year at the exhibition «Energy of Victory. Restoration» displays rare archival materials and exhibits from the period of the siege of Leningrad and the subsequent restoration of the city.

Daniil Krainsky, Deputy General Director for Legal Support at ROSSETI PJSC, said that the Russian energy sector is growing by over 5%. According to him, this means the development of the economy. Energy is becoming a driver of growth. Thus, in 2024, ROSSETI Lenenergo PJSC implemented projects worth more than 50 billion rubles only in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

Dmitry Nikitin, General Director of the RESTEC Exhibition Association, expressed confidence in the synergetic effect of holding several exhibitions together on the same site.

In conclusion, Sergey Voronkov, General Director of ExpoForum International, President of the Russian Union of Exhibitions and Fairs, delivered a speech.

«St. Petersburg is not only the gas capital and the birthplace of the first gas lamp, it is also the energy capital, home to the largest energy companies, as well as the birthplace of arc welding. All the topics at the RIEF are directly related to St. Petersburg. This includes ensuring the independence of electricity generation, as well as issues of reliability and safety of energy systems, welding, corrosion protection, and a comfortable environment. Contacts and stay at the site will be full of both business content and informal communication,» said Sergey Voronkov.

The joint exposition of the Exhibition «Energy and Electrical Engineering» within the framework of the RIEF-2025, the International Exhibition «Housing and Communal Services of Russia», the International Exhibition «Welding», the International Exhibition-Congress «Rustproofing», the Exhibition of HI-TECH innovations, the Specialized Exhibition «Integrated Protection Systems for Fuel and Energy Complex Facilities», as well as the St. Petersburg Technical Fair, amounted to 8 thousand sq. m. It is attended by 200 companies from Russia, Belarus, China, India, and Iran.

Over 8 thousand visitors from 12 countries are expected at the events.

The event will be held on April 8–10.

The International Exhibition and Forum on Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnologies IPhEB 2025 is the largest annual event for pharmaceutical industry professionals, manufacturers of dietary supplements and healthy nutrition.

This is a unique platform combining an exhibition and a forum, where the entire production chain is presented — from raw materials and technologies to finished products and innovative solutions.

Opening the event, Sergey Voronkov, General Director of ExpoForum International, noted: «Since the establishment of the country’s first pharmaceutical cluster in 2010, our city has achieved impressive results: more than 150 companies, production of over 200 million packages per year, 427 types of medicines, including 198 essential medicines. I wish the exhibition and forum to become the main pill for business and the best vaccine against all crises!»

The IPhEB 2025 exhibition includes two key areas. BioPharma presents active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), ready-made dosage forms, equipment and technologies for pharmaceutical production, clinical research, packaging and delivery of medicines, as well as IT solutions and services for pharmaceutical enterprises.

The Smart Life track is dedicated to natural extracts, functional ingredients, dietary supplements, nutricosmetics and products for healthy nutrition.

The IPhEB 2025 Forum offers a rich business program.

The strategic section «Russian Pharmaceutical Industry» is among the key events: status, forecasts, trends», which will include discussions on the Pharma 2030 strategy and the current market situation.

During the IV All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference «Pharmaceutical Science: Challenges and Solutions in the 21st Century», experts will discuss issues of preclinical research, pharmaceutical substances, low-tonnage chemistry, drug registration, and product control and quality. The site will host the conferences «Dialogues on clinical research» and «PHARMIX — promotion and advertising in pharma».

In the open presentation area, participants will be able to schedule meetings, discuss projects, and present their developments.

Over the course of three days, the exhibition and forum will become the center for discussing key issues of the industry, innovative technologies, and development prospects.

The events brought together 80 leading Russian companies, and over 1,200 meetings were organized in two days.

Labor Protection Day, which took place on April 3, became a place to demonstrate innovations in the field of personal protective equipment, workwear, fire safety and training.

Special attention was drawn to the developments of VENTO-2M, which presented protective equipment against falling from a height, as well as the products of Avangard Workwear Northwest, specializing in the production of workwear and safety shoes.

The event was organized by ExpoForum International with the support of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation and the Government of St. Petersburg.

The main purpose of investigating accidents at work is to prevent them in the future. Therefore, competent managers will never hush up certain incidents at the enterprise, but will involve all relevant specialists in the investigation and analysis of the causes. This was discussed at the round table «Accidents at work: prevention and investigation», which was held as part of the IX St. Petersburg International Labor Forum and the exhibition CUBE EXPO 2025.

The labor inspectorate is always involved in the investigation of certain incidents at enterprises. Victoria Gaber-Korn, the chief state Labor Inspector in St. Petersburg, spoke about the specifics of working in this area. She explained that the inspectorate usually joins the investigation after an accident is reported within 24 hours. Information about incidents comes, as a rule, from the victim, a close relative, or the head of the enterprise. Law enforcement agencies, trade unions, and insurance companies can also report an accident to the inspectorate.

During the investigation, representatives of the inspection are involved in the inspection of the scene as specialists, prepare a judgment on the violations identified, and provide information relevant to the investigation.

«If the number of minor accidents increases at a particular enterprise, this is a reason for the labor inspectorate to come to this company with an unscheduled inspection,» said Victoria Gaber-Korn.

She also described the violations that employers commit during investigations.. Companies often violate the deadlines for conducting an investigation or do not include all the necessary specialists in a special commission established to investigate. Sometimes there is a cover-up of an accident. The fact that it did occur is often reported by medical organizations where victims are treated, Victoria Gaber-Korn added.

The Pension and Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation (Social Fund of Russia, SFR) is also involved in the work related to the investigation of accidents.

According to Sofya Talantova, deputy head of the SFR office for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, accidents usually occur due to the fact that employees who are not trained in safety rules are allowed to work. Often, the immediate supervisors of the victims do not know the safety rules either.

«Unfortunately, the investigation period is delayed in most cases,» Sofya Talantova said.

The average investigation period, according to her data, is 64 days. The main reasons for extending the deadline are the need to obtain a death certificate, the need for a technical examination, as well as additional verification.

Sofya Talantova noted that the scheme of interaction between the SFR and the employer in terms of obtaining funds for labor protection has recently changed. Now companies can submit the relevant application and the entire set of documents remotely.

Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Head of the Department of External Communications of the National Association for Occupational Safety and Health, told how and what documents should be issued during the investigation of an accident.

«First, we need to determine whether it can be considered that it happened at work,» she said.

The signs of an industrial accident are the official employment relationship of the victim with the employer. It is also important whether the accident occurred on the territory of the employer. The injury must be recorded by a medical professional.

In turn, Yulia Volkova, Deputy head of the Department of Labor Protection at EcoStandard Group, told how to make the collection of information about various incidents, in particular minor injuries, more effective. She explained that employees of enterprises often do not report micro-injuries to employers. The situation can be fixed if you automate the process. For example, a special program was created at one of the enterprises, where each employee can enter using a special code, fill out a simple form about what happened, where and when. Then the employer collects all the information and analyzes it in order to understand how to reduce injuries.

The quality of accident investigations largely depends on whether the company has an appropriate internal standard in place, said Vasily Yaremenko, General Director of the Center for the Study and Evaluation of Legal and Economic Problems of the Industrial Safety and Labor Protection System. Such a standard may regulate the investigation of industrial accidents, road accidents, environmental pollution, accidents without consequences, occupational diseases, and so on.

«The most important thing is to understand why we are doing this. A smart leader does not hide an accident, but initiates an investigation himself in order to understand the causes and correct the situation so that such incidents do not happen again,» concluded Vasily Yaremenko.

Staff shortages will remain a trend in the labor market, and against this background, effective career guidance activities aimed at schoolchildren are becoming particularly important. It, in turn, should shift from the traditional scheme of «test tour to the enterprise» to more familiar and convenient digital channels of information dissemination for young people.

This was discussed at the round table «Digital Services for the labor market: career guidance, recruiting, and employee qualification assessment», organized by the Association of Directors of Industrial Safety and SMART as part of the IX St. Petersburg International Labor Forum and the CUBE EXPO 2025 exhibition.

One of the reasons for the shortage of personnel is the initially incorrect choice of profession made by schoolchildren. As a result, almost 50% of graduates of universities and institutions of secondary vocational education (SVE) do not get a job in their specialty, said Oles Balabkin, Director General of the Leadership Project of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives Career.online, organizer of the All-Russian online marathon «Trajectory. School — SVE/HE — enterprise». He added that 58% of high school students did not decide on a profession 4 months before graduation, 70% of schoolchildren make this choice incompetently, 90% of children do not know what field they want to work in and do not know how to find the answer to this question.

Therefore, Oles Balabkin concludes, it is necessary to create conditions for schoolchildren to choose the right profession. This is how the online career guidance marathon «Trajectory» appeared, which helps students in grades 8–11 to form a career trajectory «school — SVE/HE — enterprise». Online broadcasts of career guidance interviews with employers and educational institutions, career guidance diagnostics on the Career.online platform are available to students participating in the marathon. The diagnostic results are available to enterprises and universities, which can start interacting with students interested in work and/or education based on it.

One of the global tasks today is to retain graduates of schools, vocational schools and universities, as well as young professionals, to work in their native regions. Meanwhile, according to the survey data of users of the Digital Assistant for Career Choice service, 55% of schoolchildren and students plan to build a career in a «non-domestic» region, 43% of young people do not see career development opportunities in their city and region. These data were presented by Natalia Aliyeva, author of the ProfStories youth vocational socialization project.

«Each region, of course, has its own individual situation, but in many ways the desire of young people to leave is due to poor awareness of the career opportunities available at the enterprises of the region,» Natalia Aliyeva emphasized.

The speaker called on employers, especially from industry, to change their approach to career guidance tools and increase their presence in the online environment.

«An employer’s communication with their potential future loyal employee — today’s schoolboy or student — should be built in a convenient way for the latter, that is, through online services and channels,» Natalia Aliyeva emphasized.

The same approach is followed by the Employment Center of the Lipetsk region, which has launched projects for the employment of graduates at the enterprise of the region «Care.Personnel» and «Personnel of the region». As explained by Svetlana Romanyuk, deputy director of the institution, these platforms accumulate data on all graduates of educational institutions in the Lipetsk region and on the personnel needs of local enterprises, which made it possible to find a job for almost every young person in their native region.

Digital services are used today not only for external career guidance, but also for the formation of a personnel reserve within the company. This area is becoming increasingly relevant for HR strategies of enterprises, as the cost of recruiting and adapting employees is increasing, and HR budgets tend to stabilize. According to Kirill Khramtsov, General Director of GCN LLC and a member of the Council for Professional Qualifications in the Mining and Metallurgical Complex, the cost of companies to attract and adapt one new employee today ranges from 0.1 to 1.2 million rubles. At the same time, an employee who does not understand his career prospects leaves the company within 2–3 years. The way out of this situation is to create an internal «labor exchange» that allows managers and HR to see the sources of candidates for positions within the company, and employees to see and plan their careers within the company, Kirill Khramtsov believes. It is absolutely realistic to make such an internal «labor exchange» entirely «digital», the expert says with confidence. As an example, he cited the Univertus platform he created for one of the industrial corporations. The system generates a profile of the position, compares it with the current position of the employee, offers him a choice of development categories and, depending on this choice, makes up a career track. After the introduction of this platform, the employee retention efficiency ratio increased by 15%, and the pool of candidates for the personnel reserve increased by 20%, Kirill Khramtsov said.
