Profex Group at CIPR-2026: Export Potential of Russian Technology Companies
Profex Group took part in the 11th conference “Digital Industry of Industrial Russia” — CIPR-2026, one of the key business platforms in the fields of digital economy, industrial automation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and technological sovereignty.
As part of the forum, the Profex Group team held a series of meetings and interviews with Russian technology companies presenting solutions for industry, corporate communications, the public sector, energy, HR, judicial administration, and the B2B environment. The main focus was placed on the practical application of technologies, companies’ readiness for international expansion, and their potential to enter the CIS, Middle East, Central Asia, and other emerging markets.
CIPR-2026 demonstrated that digital transformation in industry has already moved from discussion to practical implementation. Companies are presenting not only software products, but also complete technological ecosystems: from hardware solutions and industrial controllers to AI modules, data analytics, corporate communication platforms, and integrated software-hardware systems.
One of the important areas highlighted by Profex Group at the forum was industrial automation. During an interview with representatives of the Eksara Group of Companies, solutions for automated process control systems and distributed control systems were presented, including proprietary controllers, modules, a SCADA system, runtime, and the SoftLogic development environment. Of particular interest is an automatic control system for thermal power engineering, which allows the optimization of CHPP operating parameters and delivers a significant economic effect by reducing fuel consumption. According to company representatives, partners from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, India, and the Asia-Pacific region have already shown interest in such solutions.
Another notable area was the transformation of corporate communications. In an interview with IVA Corporation, the discussion focused on the market’s transition from separate communication tools to a unified digital workspace where email, messenger, video conferencing, telephony, and calendar functions are combined in one interface. The integration of artificial intelligence into corporate communications is becoming an important trend: automatic meeting transcription, generation of meeting minutes, discussion summarization, and reduction of operational workload for teams. This approach is especially relevant for large organizations, government institutions, the education sector, and distributed teams.
Profex Group also explored the solutions of Ekspertika, a company developing AI products for the transcription and analysis of offline and online events. The company’s product can be applied in corporate meetings, HR interviews, sales departments, judicial proceedings, and other areas where accurate speech recording, communication analytics, and the creation of structured protocols are required. The company noted its readiness for export activity and is already exploring opportunities to enter the UAE market, offering both a software product and full-scale implementation projects integrated into the client’s IT landscape.
Based on the meetings, Profex Group identified several key trends that may be particularly relevant for international markets:
1. Russian technology companies are moving beyond the domestic market.
Many developers already see export as the next stage of growth and are preparing products, presentations, partnership proposals, and implementation models for international clients.
2. Artificial intelligence is becoming not just a separate “feature,” but part of business processes.
AI is being implemented in communications, meeting analytics, HR, sales, industry, judicial processes, and infrastructure management.
3. Demand for integrated solutions is growing.
Companies increasingly offer not just a single product, but a complete ecosystem: software, hardware, integration, training, and support.
4. Central Asia, the CIS, the Middle East, and Asia are becoming natural directions for scaling.
For many technology companies, these markets look promising due to the demand for digitalization, industrial modernization, infrastructure development, and the implementation of new corporate systems.
5. International expansion requires not only a strong product, but also the right market-entry platform.
Exhibitions, conferences, B2B matchmaking, local partnerships, communication adaptation, and understanding of industry specifics are becoming key factors for successful expansion beyond the home market.
For Profex Group, participation in CIPR-2026 became an important opportunity to communicate directly with technology companies, study their product maturity, export readiness, and need for international promotion. The company sees significant potential in connecting Russian and CIS technology developers with the markets of the GCC, MENA, Central Asia, Africa, and other regions through international exhibition platforms, business events, and structured business matchmaking.
Profex Group will continue developing dialogue with technology companies interested in entering new markets and will support them at all stages of international expansion — from selecting the right platform and preparing for an exhibition to finding partners, organizing meetings, and providing follow-up support for business contacts.
