On the 19th of July, 2023, within the halls of the Corporate University of the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Government, a momentous award ceremony unfolded to honor the victors and finalists of the Intellectual Property Objects Competition. This prestigious event was convened to vie for the coveted I.P. Kulibin Nizhny Novgorod Region Award.
Vladimir Balakin, the Deputy Minister of Industry, Trade, and Entrepreneurship for the Nizhny Novgorod Region, extended his heartfelt felicitations to the accomplished winners and distinguished finalists of the competition. As he presented the laurels, diplomas, and commemorative accolades, he prominently underscored the monumental contributions of the erudite minds and pioneering developers from Nizhny Novgorod towards the crescendo of the region's industrial progress. Furthermore, he accentuated their instrumental role in the propagation of scientific and technical vocations amidst the burgeoning young generation.
In the current year, both ingeniously crafted technical propositions showcased by Valery Vyacheslavovich Efremenkov, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Stromizmeritel LLC, garnered resounding acclaim. Particularly, the groundbreaking "Method of Glass Granulation in Glass Container Production" (Russian Patent No. 2746642) garnered the prestigious distinction of being the paramount innovation of 2022 in the realm of chemistry and metallurgy technologies within the region. This illustrious triumph constitutes the sixth premier accolade for the accomplished author across an array of categories, reflecting twelve years of dedicated engagement with this illustrious competition. Furthermore, the ingenious solution encapsulated within Russian Patent No. 2755286, denoted as the "Technological Line for Glass Cullet Processing," also hailing from the visionary mind of Valery V. Efremenkov, merited the prestigious status of laureate. It was accompanied by a proclamation-bearing diploma from the Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, a resplendent gold medal, and a substantial monetary award.
