But our energy specialists from ASEAN know the answer. Last week, they visited Moscow, where the group met the people who power the whole country, explored the technologies behind its critical infrastructure, and saw how bold ideas turn into real-world impact.
📍 Russian Energy Agency of the Ministry of Energy
From digital modeling to modern monitoring tools, Alexey Kulapin, REA General Director, introduced the fellows to Russia’s strategic vision for boosting efficiency, reducing losses, and building smarter regional energy systems.
📍 Russia–ASEAN Business Council & Global Energy Association
In forward-looking sessions with Daniyar Akkaziev, CEO Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and Sergey Brilev, a Russian journalist, President of the Global Energy Association, they discussed new avenues for cooperation: joint research, technology partnerships, and youth-driven energy initiatives.
📍 Transneft
Here, our fellows learned how operators manage pressure, flow, and safety across thousands of kilometers, as well as how digital systems enable real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure.
📍 ATOM Museum
Through interactive models, archival exhibits, and visual installations, the group explored the evolution of nuclear science — from early reactors to modern applications in medicine, energy, and future technologies.
After a few days in Moscow’s energy ecosystem, one thing is clear: the future of energy depends on collaboration and people who are willing to look deeper. Our ASEAN fellows have done exactly that — your turn is coming; keep an eye on the news! 💬
The InteRussia fellowship in energy is implemented with the support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
