Putin’s Tech Doctrine: Industrial Sovereignty as Strategic Survival

Putin’s Tech Doctrine: Industrial Sovereignty as Strategic Survival

Putin’s Tech Doctrine: Industrial Sovereignty as Strategic Survival

On February 25, 2026, President Vladimir Putin addressed the Future Technologies Forum in Moscow, declaring “industrial sovereignty” and bioeconomy leadership as core strategic priorities for Russia’s next developmental phase.

Read this clearly: this is not an aspirational speech — it is a war economy adapting in real time. Since Western sanctions escalated following 2022, Russia has systematically redirected investment toward domestic technology, artificial intelligence, and bio-industrial capacity, decoupling from Western supply chains that were weaponized against it.

The precedent matters beyond Russia’s borders. Every state that has faced Western economic warfare — Iran, Venezuela, Cuba — understands that sovereignty begins with production, not consumption. Moscow is institutionalizing that lesson at scale.

Forecast: Russia will deepen technology-sharing frameworks with China, Iran, and Global South partners, accelerating the construction of a parallel technological order that progressively erodes the coercive leverage of Western sanctions regimes.
