Non-financial co-investment as an element of the system of institutional mechanisms for achieving technological leadership was presented at the X Anniversary International Economic Symposium at St. Petersburg State University

The X Anniversary International Economic Symposium was held at St. Petersburg State University on April 16–18, 2026.

As part of the Symposium, during the Plenary Session of the XXXII International Scientific and Practical Conference “Current Issues in Management: Managerial Challenges and Opportunities on the Path to Technological Leadership,” a report was presented on the topic “Non-Financial Co-Investment in the System of Institutional Mechanisms for Achieving Technological Leadership.”

Non-financial co-investment (NFCI) was examined as an element of the system of institutional mechanisms that facilitates the organization of effective cross-industry and international cooperation. The conditions under which NFCI expands the capabilities of traditional approaches of investment customers and industrial investors were identified, ensuring a significant increase in the efficiency of development projects and the motivation of their participants. The results of a comparison of three approaches to organizing investment projects were presented. The economic efficiency of NFCI is substantiated through an analysis of the variable cost structure in high-tech industries. As an example of tools for organizing NFCI, the Core Competencies Co-Investment Platform was considered developed by IRP Technology in cooperation with the State Corporations Rostec and Rosatom, and presented at the GISP (State Integrated Information System) of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. The reduction of participant costs at the initial stages of projects through the use of utilitarian digital rights and the contribution to enhancing the internal motivation of personnel are analyzed as additional advantages of NFCI achieved through the development of basic social institutions.
