The winners of the III All-Russian championship in the tabular editor "Edit the future" have been announced. For three years now, the project has been helping specialists switch to domestic software and increasing their proficiency in office tools for solving business problems. This year's championship is held with the support of the Ministry of Finance of Russia. VK Tech, a Russian vendor of corporate software, became a partner of the championship. The organizing committee of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship acted as the operator of the championship.

In 2026, the competition was divided into three tracks for the first time: the main track, the track for schoolchildren and the track of presentations. The number of participants has increased compared to last year: more than 1,500 people from 59 regions of Russia. Also this year, 380 participating companies joined the competition. More than 400 schools took part in the track for schoolchildren.  

According to the tabular editor, 11 teams of three people reached the final of the main track. To become one of the winners, the finalists had to demonstrate a high level of proficiency in a tabular editor: perform complex calculations, visualize data, use pivot tables effectively, and prove the correctness of the chosen solution.

The total prize fund of the championship amounted to more than 2,200,000 rubles, as well as certificates for the P7-Office presentation training course, diplomas and memorable prizes. The cup of the winner of the championship and a cash prize of 1,000,000 rubles were awarded to the Algorithm team. The award was presented by Dmitry Nikitin, Director of the Information Technology Industry Development Department of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. The silver medalist was the Code of the Future team of PJSC ROSSETI North-West, which will share 600,000 rubles among themselves. The bronze medalist, the Ne Station Sportivnaya team, was awarded 400,000 rubles. 

In the presentation track, the prizes were taken by specialists from Gazpromneft-Zapolyarye, Slavneft-Krasnoyarsk Oil Company and Mosenergo. In the track for schoolchildren, the winners were students of the Nizhny Tagil Trade and Economic College, Secondary School 29 in Georgievsk and Lyceum 49 in Kaliningrad.

Evgeny Shelkovnikov, CEO of R7: "The championship is growing along with the IT market. This year, for the first time, we added tracks for schoolchildren and for those who work with presentations, and this gave the result: the geography of participants has significantly expanded. It is especially valuable that specialists come here not only for prizes, but also for experience, acquaintances and the opportunity to test themselves in real tasks. As a vendor, it is important for us that the participants become part of a large community, ambassadors who use the P7 Office on a daily basis, make it better and remove distrust of Russian solutions."

Dmitry Nikitin, Director of the Information Technology Industry Development Department, Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation: "For three years in a row, the championship has shown that Russian tools are becoming part of everyday work, and participants demonstrate a high level of proficiency in them. Adding a track for schoolchildren makes the championship an important tool for popularizing domestic solutions among young people. It is thanks to the holding of such competitions, the contribution of developers and the systematic work on import substitution that we have been conducting for more than ten years that the demand for Russian solutions is growing."

Peter Shcheglov, Head of Productivity Services at VK Tech: "Today, critical thinking and data-driven decision-making skills are becoming key, and the championship gives participants the opportunity to put them into practice. Such competitions help to form a strong professional community. Experts gathered here who are ready to solve complex problems and move the industry forward. We are happy to be a part of the P7 championship and are confident that it has a great future ahead of it."

The technological partners of the championship are Aquarius, one of the largest Russian developers and manufacturers of computer equipment and IT solutions, a backbone enterprise of the radioelectronic industry, and Astra Group, one of the leaders of the Russian information technology market in the field of software development and information security tools.
