The Roscongress Foundation and Lomonosov Moscow State University have collaborated on a joint analytical report titled "Russia and the UAE: Paths for Technological Cooperation," which has been timed to coincide with the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2023), which will be attended by the United Arab Emirates. The research explores significant areas of technological collaboration between the UAE and Russia, including space technology, energy, medical and digital technologies, and agriculture.

Bilateral economic cooperation is growing in terms of both output volume and the number of industries participating. Trade has grown steadily during the previous few years. The UAE ranked first among Middle Eastern nations in terms of commerce with Russia at the end of 2021, with the volume of trade hitting a historic high of $5.4 billion.

Oil goods, precious stones and metals, pharmaceutical items, ferrous metals, equipment, and cars were the majority of Russian exports to the UAE in 2021. Plastics, energy equipment, precious stones and 

metals, foodstuffs, and chemical items were among the UAE's exports to Russia. Their international collaboration as two oil-producing nations extends back more than fifty years.

These days, the two nations are engaged in the qualitative and quantitative growth of scientific and technology cooperation. In the present geopolitical context, the Russian economy provides unique chances for investment and business, and the UAE's long-term growth plan is centered on foreign enterprises.
