In a short period of time, the contestants had to solve a case study on new challenges in the field of technological development. The organizers gave the task to young specialists to find effective import substitution practices, conduct technological forecasting in order to create advanced products, develop new technologies that promote the active growth of individual companies and groups in various industries, as well as offer solutions to achieve sustainable development, energy conservation and energy efficiency.

The results of their efforts were presented remotely by the team to an expert commission consisting of specialists from industry companies and organizations.

The three best teams of the qualifying competition won tickets to the championship finals.

The winners were employees of Gazpromneft Energy Systems LLC Timofey Milovanov (captain), Ilya Kubar, Dmitry Pilyakin and Ilya Chuvashov, united in the Energy Alliance team.

"Our solution provides an overview of key and relevant technologies for the electric power industry, the synergy of which will allow for the autonomy of the power supply process to remote consumers., - the captain of the team told about the decision Timofey Milovanov. – For specialists, this project will be relevant for increasing safety during work due to the absence of the need to be directly at the production facility, and for society - reducing the carbon footprint and technological progress in related technologies."

To be successful in the final, the winners plan to improve their performance in the elaboration of the material and its content, design and organization of the decision preparation process.

"On "CASE-IN" we have learned how to react quickly in non-standard situations, organize the process and achieve maximum efforts for the desired result. Also, as a captain, I have mastered the skill of team leadership, taking into account responsibility for the decisions made.", – Timofey Milovanov told us.

The New Challenge team (Sibur-Kstovo LLC) became the silver medalist. Ekaterina Shiryaeva (captain), Andrey Tyulin, Ilya Belyashkin and Anastasia Shanulina proposed a comprehensive approach to solving the problem of battery recycling and developing domestic production of superconductors.

"We managed to create a high-quality symbiosis within the team, and we really enjoyed working with each other., - the captain of the team shares his impressions Ekaterina Shiryaeva. – We managed to generate an interesting idea and bring it to a real detailed project. A close-knit team, an interesting idea, detailed study, motivation and faith in yourself and your project - this is our formula for success!"

"Each of us is a good specialist. Together we managed to develop a solution to the existing problem., - the captain of the team is sure Ilyas Ilyasov. – We presented a modern technology for processing light hydrocarbon raw materials based on the application of the principles of thermodynamically reversible rectification. The application of these principles in gas fractionation technologies makes it possible to ensure the maximum possible energy efficiency of the process, as well as reduce the energy intensity of rectification by more than 40%. We expect new challenges from the finals, as well as the goal to gain a unique experience and achieve a decent result."

At the CASE-IN, the bronze medalists improved their information management skills, were able to plunge into the issues of energy conservation and discuss new challenges that arise under sanctions pressure, mastered the skills of cross-functional interaction and learned how to find new extraordinary solutions to problems.
