Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Domestic policy and state-aligned programmes are prioritising sovereign compute and localised platform stacks to sustain ML development under restricted access to some foreign components: high-level briefings on national AI progress reported in Nov-2025 reflect government focus on domestic models, compute and industrial AI priorities, which increases procurement preference for locally-developed stacks and state-aligned integrators.

Industry Progression: Russian cloud and platform players are expanding in-country capacity to support heavier ML workloads: Yandex Cloud’s announced availability-zone expansion (new zone planned near Vladimir; Sep-2025) and broader Yandex Cloud growth materially increase local hosting options for training and inference. This expansion reduces latency and residency friction for Russian enterprises and public bodies, encouraging local deployment of larger models and giving domestic vendors a stronger base to offer production ML services.

Industry Player Insights: Leading domestic tech groups are commercialising large-scale ML capabilities: Yandex’s ongoing AI productisation and model rollouts (2024–2025 product and AI Studio updates, H1-2025 cloud uptake reporting) and Sber’s continued internal AI platform work are tangible, in-country developments. These domestic commercial moves create an ecosystem where local model providers, cloud operators and integrators supply validated, residency-compliant ML stacks that buyers can procure with lower import-risk and clearer operational continuity.
