Gazprom Neft to Support Ideas of Talented Students and Technology Developers
Gazprom Neft’s Industrix accelerator has opened a call for applications from developers of solutions and technologies for the fuel and energy sector. The program’s finalists will have the opportunity to develop their ideas to the level of an industrial product, test them in production, and bring them to market.
Gazprom Neft has opened a search for promising projects from students and technology entrepreneurs from all over Russia. The accelerator accepts both mature-stage solutions and idea-level startups. To apply, developers must present their project to experts and justify the demand, feasibility, and commercial potential of the proposed solution.
Industrix participants will receive mentoring and business support, the opportunity to finalize the project and test it at the fields and research and production sites of Gazprom Neft and the company’s industrial partners. The finalists will be able to apply for venture financing and other forms of support to bring the product to market.
Applications for participation can be left on the Industrix accelerator website by March 31, 2025.
Industrix has become an important and sought-after tool for finding ideas from talented developers. The accelerator structure includes partners from industry and the financial sector, as well as dozens of leading technical universities from all over the country. Over the past two years, we have received about 3,000 applications from students, young scientists and inventors, and more than 50 startups have passed tests and are helping in practice to overcome the challenges facing Gazprom Neft enterprises. The new accelerator stream will help find and implement ideas that are important both for the work of our company and for increasing the competitiveness of the Russian fuel and energy complex.” – Alexey Ogorodov, Head of the Technological Development Department, Gazprom Neft
