Kungirotboy Sharipov, Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, familiarized himself with the progress of the "Next-Generation Vehicle" competition held as part of the "Future Engineers" international festival.

More than 20 teams from various regions of the republic, along with over 200 young engineers, are participating with their own innovative electric vehicles.

During the competition, prototypes are tested on a closed 10-kilometer track. The main criterion is covering the maximum distance while consuming minimal energy.

During the visit, the Minister highly praised the young engineers' work, spoke with participants about their creative ideas and innovative approaches, and shared his own thoughts and recommendations.
