Pilot Launch of the Project Laboratory
in 2026: RESULTS

10 leading Russian companies
became clients of the Project Laboratory in spring 2026
16 teams
presented solutions for 16 cases
3 key areas
were covered by the Project Laboratory's cases this year: computer vision, predictive models, and process automation
4 domains
were created as a result of the Project Laboratory's launch and continue their work:
  • physics of chemical processes for manufacturing
  • robotics
  • application of foundation models in business
  • CV and recommendation systems

A COMMUNITY FORMED

Students and postgraduates come together in teams, debate, jointly test ideas, discuss hypotheses with mentors, and step by step bring their projects to their first measurable results. The Project Laboratory is a place where new connections, ideas, and teams are born — ready to continue working beyond the educational program.

PATENTS PENDING REGISTRATION

An AI system that detects GOST (state standard) violations in project documentation and flags inflated volumes
Software for the MaterialsGen service, which predicts concrete properties based on composition and selects the optimal mix formulation

ACHIEVEMENTS

As part of the Intellect Foundation's Project Laboratory, the MaterialsGen AI service was created, which predicts the properties of concrete based on its composition and generates optimal recipes for concrete mixes tailored to specified characteristics. Maxim Smirnov, the project's lead, presented the solution at the Russian selection stage of the V Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition of the SCO countries and won. The project later gained recognition at the international final of the Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition of the SCO countries in Qingdao, China.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Active laboratory participants received internship and employment offers from major companies
