Prospects of bioeconomy in the Russian Federation
Prof.Vladimir Popov A.N.Bach Institute of Biochemistry RAS
National Technology Platform Bioindustry and Bioresources - BioTech2030
R&D as national priority
n R&D as national priority n Current spending 1.16 % GDP n Target by 2015 1.8 % GDP n Target by 2030 3 % GDP
n Funding of State scientific funds (RFBR, RFHR) n Target by 2018 25 BRUB
n Share of Russian publications cited by WEB of Science n Current (2010) 2.08 % n Target by 2015 2.44 % n Target by 2020 3 %
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
Strategy of innovative development of the Russian Federation to 2020. Innovative Russia – 2020 Endorsed by the Russian Government 08.12.2011 N 2227-р
Recent Bioeconomy initiatives
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
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
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
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
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
Technology platforms as an instrument to develop bioeconomy
Siberian State Medical University
Medicine of the Future
Lomonosov Moscow State University
& Russian Technologies
State Corporation
BioTech2030
Kurchatov Institute
Bioenergy
Technology Platforms in Biotechnology
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
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.
The future is green!
