A number of environmental issues, such as the creation of modern waste management infrastructure, the environmental rehabilitation of natural areas, pollution reduction, and the use of artificial intelligence are topical issues on both the Russian and international agendas. One effective tool for addressing such issues is the Top 10 Innovative Environmental Companies’ Contest, which is organized by the Roscongress Foundation's Business Priority project in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation.

The top 10 finalists will be presented at a Business Priority Pitch Session, a format where each team will have five minutes to present their product and two minutes to answer questions from the expert jury. Contest finalists will be granted Business Priority status, which comes with unique opportunities for promotion in the Roscongress Foundation ecosystem, including strategic consulting, direct conversations with investors, and opportunities to accelerate and enter their product into global markets.
