Robots, autonomous vehicles, and colossal machines: attractions at INNOPROM-2025 in Yekaterinburg
Innoprom-2025, the 15th International Industrial Exhibition, is currently underway at Ekaterinburg-Expo, attracting over 1,000 companies from 33 Russian regions and five countries. The four-day event, which runs from July 7 to July 10, is a significant platform for showcasing industrial innovations and fostering international cooperation.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is the SEMABOT mobile robot by SEMARGL LLC. This robot, designed to transport goods weighing up to 6 tons, is characterized by high accuracy, safety, and autonomy. It can be equipped with additional equipment like lifting tables and conveyors, making it a versatile solution for automating production processes.
Participants at the exhibition come from various industries, including mechanical engineering, metallurgy, digital technologies, and the electric power industry. Major Russian companies like Rostec, Rosatom, and Roscosmos are showcasing new products and technologies.
The exhibition also sees significant international participation, with national expositions from countries like Saudi Arabia, which is the partner country for this year's event. Saudi Arabia's national exposition is the largest at the event, covering an area of 1,512 square meters and featuring 43 major companies.
The business program includes thematic sessions on "International Cooperation," "Industrial Innovations," "Digital Manufacturing," "Industrial IT," and more. These sessions are designed to facilitate discussions on industry development, cooperation, and technological advancements.
While specific details about food automation equipment and medical technology are not detailed in the provided sources, other innovations at the exhibition include a complex of ion beam therapy, a new way to fight cancer, which uses robotic systems to position the accelerator with incredible precision and direct a beam of radiation to the exact point needed.
Regional exhibitions showcase innovations in industrial automation and digital technologies. For instance, the stand of the Sverdlovsk Oblast features a unique appliance that can independently prepare khinkali and other dishes.
Kyrgyzstan's stand presents large electric tricycles of domestic production, which are mainly used in agriculture but also have significance in other sectors. This year, Kyrgyzstan plans to launch electric hydrocycles and new equipment for cleaning beaches from litter at the exhibition.
The stand of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra features a giant snow-boggo-tracked vehicle, a popular transportation among locals for traversing difficult terrain. An autonomous snow-clearing robot can also be seen at the Chelyabinsk Region's stand, featuring two powerful motors and remote control via a special remote.
The training equipment in the Sverdlovsk Oblast adjusts its height, width, and stability for rehabilitation purposes. Visitors can try climbing onto a high-seated tractor MAZ-54402N with a gas-powered engine at the Belarus stand.
While Belarus is not specifically highlighted in the provided sources regarding the Yekaterinburg event, it is hosting its own INNOPROM Belarus from September 29 to October 1, 2025, which focuses on technological leadership and industrial breakthroughs. This event will feature innovations from Belarusian industries, including engineering and aerospace technologies.
There is no specific mention of innovations or products from Kazakhstan at the Yekaterinburg Innoprom-2025 event in the provided sources. However, Kazakhstan's stand at the exhibition features upper railway track elements and rolling stock, with the company "RWS KZ" being the only enterprise in Kazakhstan that fully supplies the railway.
Arstanbek Abayev, deputy director for operations and production of the company "RWS KZ", is present at the exhibition. Mukash Uulu Avtandil, commercial director, mentioned that electric tricycles of the company 'Jelmayan' in Kyrgyzstan have a range of 50-60 km and a payload of 2 tons.
Another human-like robot at a stand deeper in the exhibition entertains guests with its gait, conversations, and handshakes. Vitaly Kazakov, the main trainer of the Sverdlovsk region's bodybuilding federation, mentioned that they are developing this direction not only in the Middle Urals but also receiving requests from other regions, especially for the rehabilitation of fighters returning from the SVO.
