Sberbank, one of Russia's largest banks with a 185-year history, just brought some futuristic tech to INNOPROM.India in New Delhi (September 9-11, 2026).
Their big idea? The "Digital Mine," a shift from digging up natural resources to tapping into AI and advanced computing for growth.

The star of the show was a photonic chip inside a mineral: think of it as the new gold for the digital age.
Sberbank also showed off an energy-saving optical computing unit that crunches numbers super fast, plus an AI-powered GigaAgent that can handle boring paperwork on its own.
For trade between India and Russia, they introduced tools for quick cross-border payments and rupee transactions.
They even brought smart home gadgets and waste management solutions to help tackle India's urban challenges.
