The Congress has become a flagship event within Russia's Decade of Science and Technology, declared by the President of Russia.
One of the central highlights of the second day was a plenary session on the theme "Science for Technological Leadership and Responses to Global Challenges: People, Ideas, Collaboration."

The highlight of the event was the Plenary Session, which brought together more than 1200 brilliant young minds. These scientists and researchers have made groundbreaking discoveries and are at the forefront of innovation in their fields.
The plenary session speeches were broadcast live on Russia 24, the country's main news channel.

Roman Rybakov shared his inspiring story:

How, within just two years, a simple hobby evolved into a high-tech business offering innovative solutions for advanced plant cultivation on the global market.

The plenary session’s moderator, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, emphasized that Roman Rybakov’s unique business experience is a valuable resource for aspiring startups, enabling them to accelerate their journey from concept to successful business and avoid common mistakes.

This expertise is exemplified by the OverGrower project, which demonstrates how innovation can fundamentally transform the agricultural industry.

One of the company's priorities for developing the agricultural sector is educational initiatives.
For example, Modern Growing Systems has established more than 50 laboratories - Agroclasses - in general education schools, centers for gifted children, and quantoriums, where children are already acquiring skills in the most modern agricultural technologies.

The company actively develops cutting-edge technologies aligned with Russia's priority for scientific and technological development: transitioning to highly productive and environmentally friendly agriculture and aquaculture.

OverGrower Project also support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, such as ensuring food security, reducing environmental impact, and promoting advanced technologies for sustainable agriculture.

During the IV Congress, 27 agreements were signed to foster scientific and educational collaboration.
Among these, Advanced Grower Systems concluded an agreement with the Federal Research Center for Biological Plant Protection (FSBSI FRCBPP) for the design, supply, and installation of a Phytotron Climate Chamber for fundamental and exploratory scientific research.

Roman Rybakov is no stranger to the Congress of Young Scientists:

• At the III Congress in 2023, held in Sirius, Sochi, he showcased the latest OverGrower equipment at the NASHA LABA booth at the Congress exhibition.
• In 2022, during a satellite event of the Congress in Kamchatka, he collaborated with a project team to develop solutions for seed and potato farming challenges in the region.

Advanced Grower Systems underscores the vital role of collaboration between business and science.
The company continues to pioneer innovative technologies, making sustainable agriculture more accessible, efficient, and in demand both in Russia and around the world.
