At the Moscow City Forum in Zaryadye, attendees will learn about the Moscow Postamat project, a system that lets residents receive online orders right at their building entrances thanks to parcel terminals. This initiative, highlighted by mos.ru, is being positioned as a practical upgrade to how city dwellers pick up goods in the capital.
Officials emphasize that postamats reflect a growing trend in big-city delivery networks. The Moscow experience demonstrates that these cabinets are simple to use and secure: courier verification is integrated into the process, so residents have confidence in who is delivering their packages. In the near term, the project also envisions a shift where documents can be collected at Moscow parcel terminals, expanding access to public services and making them easier to use for residents, as explained by Evgeny Danchikov, a Moscow government minister who leads Glavkontrol. The statement underscores how the system is designed to combine convenience with a strong authentication framework for each delivery.
During the forum, the Moscow City Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development, together with the Moscow Innovation Agency and Glavkontrol, will provide a detailed look at the Postamat concept. Citizens will have the chance to register interest and apply for installation of a parcel cabinet at their own homes or communal entrances, offering a tangible way for households to streamline their delivery routines.
Alexei Fursin, head of the Moscow Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development, notes that the Postamat network is expanding beyond pure convenience. He points to a growth in the platform’s footprint across cultural spaces, entertainment venues, and social institutions, highlighting that more than 330 devices have already been installed since the project began. The volume of activity is equally telling: the system has processed upwards of 20,000 orders, a signal that residents are embracing the new delivery option and that merchants are adapting their fulfillment practices to a postamat-enabled cityscape. These figures are presented as proof of concept and a sign of future scalability for the program, as described by city officials during the forum discussions.
Beyond the logistics of parcel pickup, the Moscow City Forum in Zaryadye promises a broader exploration of urban mobility and public services. In addition to the Postamat project, attendees will encounter an exhibition focused on Moscow’s transport network. There will also be displays and demonstrations related to health and education services, opportunities to participate in hands-on master classes, and a wide-ranging, seasonal festival program designed to engage residents and visitors alike.
Event venues for the Moscow City Forum were selected for their accessibility and symbolic significance. Zaryadye Park, the Luzhniki Olympic Complex, Manezh Central Exhibition Hall, and Gostiny Dvor each offer different perspectives on city life, commerce, and culture. The combination of these spaces in one event series mirrors Moscow’s aim to weave together innovation, cultural life, and practical public service improvements that residents can feel in their daily routines. The forum’s multi-venue approach also reflects a broader strategy to reach diverse audiences across the capital, from families to professionals, students to retirees, all within a single citywide program.
