Today the national rail operator Russian Railways held the ceremony at the Rizhsky train station in Moscow to launch an exhibition-lecture complex – a train to go through Russia from Moscow to the Far East demonstrating innovative products of the leading Russian and foreign companies, news agency RIA Novosti reports.

The machine-building portal i-Mash writes that the complex consists of eight exhibition and three administrative cars built on the base of the new-generation rail cars, produced by the Tver Rail Car Plant.

Under plans, seven out of eleven rail cars are to have mobile exhibition expositions demonstrating high-technology inventions in the most popular sectors of science, technology and industry. The train is also to have a special lecture hall to be used for lectures, master-classes, seminars and meetings.

Rusnano’s interactive exhibition presents innovative products of its 13 project companies, such as energy-efficient thin-film solar modules with lithium-ion accumulator batteries; RFID-tags; light diodes; composition materials. Also, the company Microbor Nanotech has presented its thermal-resistant micro-endurance cutter blade at the mobile exhibition in the “nano-car”.
