The EcoTechnoPark Testing Center became an international venue that brought together hundreds of Micron Global partners from dozens of countries. Guests at EcoFest 2026 saw firsthand that the company is ready to scale up its environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and reliable string transport solutions designed to ease the strain on urban logistics systems.

The event focused on showcasing tangible engineering achievements:

• History and patents. At the uST Technology Museum, attendees explored archival materials, monographs, and models tracing the project’s journey from its initial concept to today’s engineering solutions.
• Specific projects and VR. In the dedicated pavilion, company specialists presented future logistics routes. In the VR area, guests took a virtual ride aboard the flagship Karat U4-212 autonomous rail vehicle.
• Engineering capabilities. The “Power Electronics and Energy Storage” booth featured traction electric drive components, inverters, and energy storage systems. The track structure showroom displayed the evolution of string rail overpasses, from steel beams to composite solutions.
• uPods in operation. The highlight of the event was a live demonstration of uPods under real-world conditions. Guests watched the vehicles operating on the test tracks.

On the main stage, Anatoli Unitsky, the inventor of the technology and Chief Designer, spoke about the significance of the event:

“String transport has the potential to become a global transport system capable of meeting mobility needs while accounting for environmental requirements and the characteristics of different regions. We have created a technology capable of transforming the appearance and logistics of cities and influencing the economies of entire countries and continents.”

Anatoli Unitsky also thanked the members of the international community:

“EcoFest 2026 has reached an entirely new scale. Years and decades from now, when people talk about how the era of string transport began, the whole world will know that you were there at the very beginning.”

Practical value for partners

A delegation from the Indian state of Karnataka, led by Kelachandra Joseph George, Minister for Energy and Tourism, visited the uSky Test & Certification Center in Sharjah. The main purpose of the visit was to assess the potential of string transport for developing the region’s tourism infrastructure and passenger transportation.

The delegation included key representatives of the state’s tourism sector: M. Srinivas, Chairman of the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC); Ram Prasath Manohar, Secretary of the Department of Tourism; Shivaprasad P. R., Managing Director of KSTDC; and representatives of the relevant government agencies. uSky specialists presented uST technology solutions, supporting infrastructure, and the automated control system. The delegates then tested uPods on the center’s operational tracks.

Applications in Areas with Limited Land and Challenging Terrain

The key topic of discussion was the use of string transport in areas with limited land and challenging terrain. uST technology is being considered as an effective solution for heritage areas and tourism clusters where widening roads or acquiring land is difficult.

In an interview with the Indian industry publication ETInfra.com, K. J. George noted:

“Tourism development is not only about improving the destinations themselves. It is equally important to give visitors easy access to those destinations and convenient ways to move around within them.”

The Karnataka government is considering uST systems as a solution for on-site mobility and last-mile connectivity. Priority locations include the historic Hampi complex, hill resorts, and suburban tourism areas.

Comprehensive Assessment and Potential Projects

Before any final decisions are made, a comprehensive feasibility study will be prepared. It will assess terrain conditions, projected passenger traffic, capital expenditure, operating costs, and reliability.

“We will assess the technical and financial feasibility, as well as the safety and operational aspects, of the system we saw in Sharjah and consider deploying it at selected locations across the state,” the minister added.

The delegation’s visit confirmed strong demand for uST technology in South Asia. Fourteen string transport projects are currently at various stages of development in India, including an 8–9 km urban line, an infrastructure solution for a technology park, and a tourist route above a waterfall for which tender documentation is being prepared.

Friends, this Thursday, Anatoli Unitsky, Chief Designer of Unitsky String Technologies Inc., and Maxim Isyp, CEO of Micron Global, will host a live stream.

The meeting will feature exclusive information that was not included in the EcoFest 2026 program. This is a long-awaited event for all partners and participants who have supported string transport technology throughout its development.

Live stream agenda:

• Payout timeline and stages
• Payout amounts
• Payout procedure
