The GIA awards ceremony was held in Moscow and brought together representatives of federal agencies, top management of major corporations, technology startups, and experts, cementing the award's status as one of the central platforms for the development of corporate innovation in Russia. The award is implemented by the GenerationS platform in accordance with the objectives of the national project “Effective and Competitive Economy” with the support of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, and the ANO “National Priorities.”

The title of “Innovator of the Year” was awarded to Philip Belyaev and NVIAY SOLUTIONS LLC by the award's Expert Council for their contribution to the development of corporate innovation and the implementation of high-tech solutions that increase the efficiency of their customers' businesses. Winning one of the key nominations confirmed the company's status as a reliable technology partner for large businesses and the financial sector.

This year, more than 200 applications were submitted to participate in GIA from companies in several dozen regions of Russia, and the final projects demonstrated the high level of maturity of domestic technologies — from intelligent video analytics to medical solutions based on artificial intelligence. The award focuses on import substitution of critical technologies, the development of new markets, and the strengthening of the country's technological sovereignty.

The GenerationS Innovation Award has become a platform where corporations, development institutions, and technology companies find strategic partners, first industrial customers, and investments for scaling. The results of the award shape new industry standards and set benchmarks for companies that are building systematic work with innovations and projects in the field of artificial intelligence.
