According to him, the countries of the association are striving for technological sovereignty
Mikhail Gordin, Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, stated that scientific and technological cooperation between BRICS countries is of critical importance. He spoke about this in an exclusive interview at the TV BRICS studio in the Roscongress International Cooperation Area at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025.
"The BRICS countries and their partners are states that can jointly develop new technologies. The most important thing for these countries is technological independence, technological sovereignty, which is valuable in itself," Gordin emphasised.
According to him, Russia's technological sovereignty is "the ability to survive on its own," and for BRICS partners, it is the ability to maintain independence by using solutions from different sources.
"This is a very good way to maintain sovereignty, to be able to take developments from more than one source," he noted.
Gordin also spoke about the experience of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University in this area. He noted that the university cooperates with a number of BRICS countries, in particular China, including participation in conferences and joint scientific developments. In addition, the university has established ties with countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), some of which are BRICS partners.

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
