Perm State National Research Polytechnic University hosts the Russian StartUp Tour

19 March 2014 127

On March 18, 2014 the Russian StartUp Tour roadshow took place at the Perm National Research Polytechnic University. Experts of Russian development institutes and investors met with developers of innovative projects and start-up teams of the Perm region.

Welcome speeches were given by the Minister of Industry, Business and Trade of the Perm region Kirill Khmaruk, president of the PNRPU Vasily Petrov and presidential adviser for the "Skolkovo" foundation Pekka Viljakainen.

The meeting was attended by over 450 young scientists, innovators and technology entrepreneurs.Over 80 Perm StartUps applied for participation in the pitch sessions of the Russian Startup Tour 2014 and 15 of them were chosen to present their ideas.

As a result of the pitch sessions the following projects received invitations to participate in an international conference at the Startup Village in Innograd Skolkovo on 2-3 of June as well as an opportunity to present their ideas to investors bypassing the competition pre-selection procedures:
1. Promobot – a robot with systems of voice and facial recognition, which not only assists in navigating shopping or exhibition centers but also gets acquanted with clients and memorizes their faces (Alexey Yuzhakov, promo-bot.ru);
2. Maugry – video and audio guide to museums in Perm, Russia and the world, that will always tell you everything there is to know about the exhibit, which you are currently looking at. It can also invite you to a museum and will give you a tour by itself (Andrey Durakov, maugry.ru);
3. Autonomous oilwell gas refinery – a device in modular design that allows for small and micro scale gas processing (Boris Yarushevich).

The following projects received certificates of completion of the first stage of selection to the "100 Innovators" international group of "Open Innovation" Forum's youth program:
1. New implantation systems for improvement of efficiency of complex treatment of patients with jaw defects - a series of new implant systems, made from biologically inert materials using nanotechnology (Natalia Astashina);
2. Machine for the early diagnosis of vascular diseases (Anna Yershova);
3. Mathematical modeling and analysis of sound signals of the human respiratory system and development of a method of diagnosis of pathology of the respiratory system (Evgenii Furman).

The following projects received certificates of participation in the final stages of selection of the national Generation S accelerator-competition:
1. Promobot
2. Maugry
3. Commercialization of biofuel production technology and new biosolvents made from alcohol waste (Evgeny Panteleev, permrecycle.ru).
4. New implantation systems to improve the efficiency of complex treatment of patients with jaw defects.

Chief Specialist at RVC for expert and analytical work Olga Belokoneva commented on the results of the Russian Startup Tour in Perm:
"Perm projects are very strong, Tomsk had projects of this level. Today the Russian Venture Company can single out several innovative projects. Among them - the new implant system for the treatment of patients with defects of the jaw, which uses new materials that haven't been previously used anywhere in the world. We also noted the Maugry video guide - a mature IT-project, which is ambitious in a good way and has a shot at going transnational. Another project for the production of biofuels offers a unique technology for collecting and recycling waste from plants in Russia - it could also potentially be sold to the European markets. And of course the robot Promobot in which there are elements that do not exist in Japanese robots, and which is 10 times cheaper than its American competitors".

Besides the pitch sessions, participants of the Russian Startup Tour 2014 actively communicated with investors, experts, colleagues, were able to get individual advice on a wide range of issues, work with respected professionals in the master classes and seminars on business planning, management and commercialization of projects, personal growth, strategic planning and team building.

TECHNOLOGY OF PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL RESTORE VALUABLE ELEMENTS FROM PRODUCTION WASTE

Now more and more attention is paid to the process of restoration of nitrogen and phosphorus from industrial and agricultural waste. This is connected with the need to implement the concept of sustainable development of society, based on the circular economy. These elements are biogenic, vital for plant growth. Phosphorus reserves are limited, and the process of obtaining nitrogen is energy-consuming. Potential sources of secondary raw materials are water waste from many industries: the fertilizer industry, pharmaceutical products, semiconductor production and agriculture. The recycling of nitrogen and phosphorus allows not only to reduce the consumption of non-renewable mineral resources, but also to reduce the saturation of natural water bodies with biogenic elements, the excess of which leads to swamping of water bodies and to a decrease in the amount of drinking water. To solve this problem, PNRPU scientists have developed a new approach that has increased the efficiency of extracting ammonium (a form of nitrogen) and phosphate (a form of phosphorus) from industrial waste water to 98-99%. The traditional method does not achieve such results. Moreover, the technology of Perm scientists will make it possible to produce domestically produced long-acting fertilizer based on struvite (a phosphate mineral) and will contribute to the import substitution of foreign analogues.

THE MODEL CREATED BY PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL PREDICT DEFECTS IN LASER POWDER SURFACING

The method of laser powder surfacing is used to restore worn-out or damaged metal parts. A powerful fiber laser creates a molten weld pool, and then metal powder is automatically fed into it. A common problem that occurs in this process is the deformation of the part, being repaired, under the action of internal stresses. This leads to a defect called warping. One of the aims of developing a technological process for the repair of parts by laser powder surfacing is the prediction of warping defects. The determination of the optimal defect-free surfacing mode for specific parts experimentally is unprofitable due to high financial and time costs and often even impossible. The researchers of the PNRPU together with JSC “UEC-Aviadvigatel” developed a mathematical model for calculating warping during laser powder surfacing to solve this problem. The scientists were able to predict with high accuracy the behavior of the part during the surfacing process thanks to numerical simulations. In the future, the development will help in choosing the optimal set of parameters for repairing parts with the most complicated parts.
