Development of innovations

Perm city participates in innovative clusters, provided for in the documents of strategic and programmed-targeted planning of Perm kray.

1. Innovative territorial cluster of rocket engine-building “Technopolis “Noviy Zvezdniy” is formed and developed in accordance with the regulation of Perm kray Government as of the 15th of September 2014 # 992-п in the territory of Perm city. Perm innovative cluster of rocket engine-building is among 25 pilot innovative territorial clusters, approved by the regulation of the Russian Federation Government as of the 6th of March 2013 # 188.

The cluster is based on three priority industrial complexes: rocket and aviation engine-building, power engineering.

The cluster unites scientific-educational and production potential of Perm kray and it is characterised by historically established industrial cooperation connections between the organisations-participants: PAO “Proton-PM”, ОАО “Permskiy motorniy zavod”, ОАО “Aviadvigatel”, ОАО “NPO “Iskra”, ОАО PZ “Mashinostroitel”, ОАО “PNPPK”, ОАО “Permskiy zavod “Mashinostroitel”, ZAO “Iskra-Energetika”, ZAO “Obedinennye gazopromyshlennye tehnologii “Iskra-Aviagaz”.

Key projects of the cluster:

• Rocket engine-building: creation of modern universal production complex on making rocket engines (production of units and machines of ecologically clean oxygen-kerosene engine of new generation РД-191 for carrier rockets “Angara”- future of Russian transportation cosmonautics).

• Aviation engine-building: organising output of turbojet engines of the fifth generation ПД-14 for new Russian short range aircrafts and medium-range aircrafts МС-21.

The first trial specimen of perspective aviation engine was assembled at the area of Perm engine-building complex. The project is being implemented with the support of the United engine-building corporation and corporation “OBORONPROM”.

• Power engineering: organising production of gas turbine electric power stations with a capacity from 2,5 to 25 Mwatt with perspective up to 40 Mwatt.

The enterprises-participants of the cluster and Perm national research polytechnic university (PNRPU) created multi-targeted adaptive ecological test complex for gas turbine engines in the range of capacities from 10 to 40 Mwatt at the test facility of PAO “Proton-PM”. The complex expanded opportunities of gas turbine mechanical engineering enterprises in the area of products testing.

The project of making micro-gas turbine power units with a capacity of 100–200 kW at the technogenic types of fuel (colliery gas, biogas, landfill gas, pyrolysis gas, liquid biofuel and others) and the project on making highly technological metal processing centres of the world-wide level are being implemented in the technopolis as well.

Priority directions of the technopolis development:

1. Development of Centre of professional samples and practices on the base of the unique school of technological education (“Techno-school”) and Multifunctional educational centre of applied competences. The task is to form the single system, allowing to build educational process at all the stages of education, starting from the stage of child’s identity formation and up to formation of modern highly-qualified production personnel.

2. Development of the Regional engineering centre:

• implementation of technology of scientific products life cycle and life cycle of innovative projects on the base of PLM-system Teamcenter, as well as technology of virtual assembling (CALS);

• practical mastering of engineering analysis system on the basis of ProCAST and Tecnomatix platforms for needs of enterprises of Perm kray and rocket-aerospace of the branch;

• development of post-processing Centre of modern technological equipment;

• working out training programs for engineering-designing personnel of the companies-participants of the cluster;

• creation of fast prototyping Centre and Service bureau to implement and actively use modern additive technologies (3D-technologies) in the framework of the rocket engine-building Cluster;

development and wide use of technological tooling on the basis of poly-urethane in the rocket engineering.

A number of infrastructure facilities, oriented to contribution to commercialisation of research and development results are functioning in the territory of cluster as well: The centre of cluster development: ОАО “Corporation of Perm kray development”, centres of technologies transfer (hereinafter referred to as CTT) by Federal state budgetary education institution higher professional education “Perm State National Research University” and Federal state budgetary education institution higher professional education “Perm national research polytechnic university”, there are centres of scientific equipment collective use centres, business incubators, permanent representation of Fund of contribution to development of small forms of companies in the scientific-technical sphere.

The program of technopolis development provides for improvement of engineering, transportation and power engineering infrastructure, road and dwelling construction, reconstruction of existing and creation of new healthcare facilities, facilities of culture, household and sports in the settlement Novye Lyady. Conditions to form the Centre of rocket engine-building of Federal importance will be created as a result of implementing the program of cluster development “Technopolis “Noviy Zvezdniy” by 2020 to ensure world-wide level of Russian cosmonautics and strengthening the leading role of Russia in the aerospace activity sphere.

2. Cluster of fibre-optic technologies “Photonics” is a group of interconnected enterprises and companies, specialised in the sphere of photonics and optoelectronic instrumentation. ОАО “Perm scientific and production instrument-making company” is the anchor enterprise of the cluster.

Today cluster “Photonics” is:

• volume of investments in the development of the cluster infrastructure during the latest 3 years: 1,6 bln. rubles;

• volume of investments in the creation of new products during the latest 3 years: 3,2 bln. rubles;

• total earnings of the cluster enterprises: 25,6 bln.rubles;

• amount of workplaces: over 9300;

• working-out per one employee: 2,8 mln. rubles per year;

• more than 1700 specialists, dealing with developments and researches.

Products of the cluster:

Transport, navigation and positioning of moving objects
