Technolgical sovereignty
Technological sovereignty is the ability of the state to create and apply technologies that are critically important for ensuring independence and competitiveness. This means the possibility to launch the production of goods in strategically important spheres of activity of the society and the state.
Methods for identifying critical technologies
International think tanks
- meet the interests of investors, business objectives and product strategies of big companies
- do not provide a unified framework for achieving technological sovereignty at the national level
- use a marketing-driven approach in promoting technologies
GARTNER curve
IDC RADAR
BCG "MATRIX"
A marketing tool for technology promotion, reflecting investors' attention and the level of technology adoption at different stages of the product life cycle
Assessment of technology maturity and the number of organizations planning to adopt the technology in the short, medium and long term (period)
A marketing tool for analyzing business products in 1970, relevant to the previous wave of globalization and focused on getting maximum market share for companies
National strategies
- are based on unilateral promotion of interests in foreign markets
- are based on approaches created in the 1970-1990s (TRL, Gartner MagicQuadrant, etc.)
- create lists of technologies without assessing their impact on achieving technological sovereignty
- do not provide a basis for the implementation of equal partnership and international programs to achieve technological sovereignty
What might the Russian method look like?
1
Focused on technological sovereignty
2
Focused on critical and cross-cutting technologies
3
Clear, transparent and attractive for friendly countries

Criteria of proficiency in cross-cutting technologies
Filling the platform with successful technological projects of the country / cross-country cooperation with an assessment for each component
Determining the needs of an individual
Extrapolation of the needs of an individual to the needs of a social community (state/country). What issues does the country have to address?
Mapping the technology space considering the integral assessment of the degree of technology's impact on sovereignty
Determining the technologies that provide the needs of the state/country
Assessing the progress in achieving the technological sovereignty for each technology

Seven Challenges of the 2020s for Russia
How will Russia unpack the potential of "smart" transport corridors, including the Northern Sea Route and the Eurasian Quantum Path?
How will Russia meet the global demand for clean energy, particularly, by developing hydrogen and renewable energy sectors?
How will Russia be able to activate and increase its natural capital by leading an independent "green" agenda, including:
- Entering carbon footprint-related markets
- Coming up with "asymmetric" technological responses to the problem of accelerating climate change due to the melting of permafrost (up to 65% of the territory of Russia)
- Launching the regenerative (restorative) economy sector?
How will Russia be able to activate both its own and global human capital to achieve these goals—to make the development agenda nationwide, rather than elitist, by building a new educational and career system on the principles of justice and mass uniqueness?
How and with whom will Russia align to build a bloc with a population of 500 million people that:
- Is capable of competing with global powers
- Has a foundation of an export package focused on the "markets of the future"
- Is resilient to fluctuations in the global environment
- Creates grounds for geopolitical and cultural cooperation?
Addressing all seven challenges is dependent upon the achievement of technological sovereignty
How can Russia become an exporter of global security, including digital, technological, and educational sovereignty? (Based on the three above.)
How will Russia feed the planet's growing population of 8 billion people while making agriculture the basis of its development and a key customer of high-tech solutions?

The Technological Sovereignty Model
Criteria of proficiency in cross-cutting technologies
Assessing the achievement of technological sovereignty is considered as the cumulative sum of the criteria for each component.
TIME-WISE ASSESSMENT
Assessing the relevance and maturity of technology over time and ensuring that the scientific base, competencies, level of standardization and competitiveness are consistent with the global average.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Assessing the availability of required resources dedicated to technology development.
PROJECTS
Assessing the representation of Russian companies in the technology market, the potential market volume, and the use of technology in the economy's sectors.
COMPETENCIES
Assessing the supply of competencies required for the technology to develop, including qualified labor resources.
STANDARDIZATION
Assessing the existence, completeness, and relevance of the national and international standards and the development documents aimed at creating and operating technology.
Assessing the systematic activities to grow the scientific knowledge along the search for new areas to apply such knowledge.
SCIENTIFIC FRAMEWORK
Technological sovereignty model
Technological sovereignty model: Russian companies and projects
The Technological Sovereignty Model reflects the sequence of implementing technologies to provide humans with food, safety, energy, as well as to develop new industries, such as biotechnology and unmanned systems. The diagram shows Russian companies already working in the fields of critical technologies.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Minor Space Systems: Russian Companies and Projects
Today, strategic control of the country’s aerospace is essential for ensuring both safety and comfortable life of its citizens. The technological sovereignty model in the field of UAS reflects the cross-cutting technologies required to build an efficient aerospace control system.
Energy
The Sovereign Energy Development Model is formed by a combination of technological domains, including the use of energy potential, advanced technologies and new management approaches.
Implementation of this model is based on the key concept of the Energy Justice Policy — organizing the energy system as a civilizational mission.
