Russia and the wider Commonwealth of Independent States form a tech corridor that spans post-Soviet markets — Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and neighboring countries — bound together by a shared engineering talent pool and language. Companies from this region are known for deep computer-vision and AR expertise, high-quality AI data annotation and training infrastructure, and agritech platforms built on satellite imagery. Banuba supplies AR and AI SDKs that power apps with tens of millions of downloads, Toloka provides specialized training data trusted by leading AI labs, and OneSoil applies satellite-driven precision agriculture for farmers worldwide. Voice and creative AI, fintech scoring engines, and wellness apps round out the ecosystem. For a professional reader, this region offers infrastructure-grade tools — annotation pipelines, SDKs, and backend platforms — built by engineering teams with a strong applied-research bent, alongside consumer apps that have scaled globally.

Tell us — we verify its origin and add it for free. Tools that pass review get a full scored listing in 9 languages.
Every entry needs at least two independent sources — company registries, Crunchbase, national tech press or VC portfolio pages — confirming it was founded in Russia & CIS, is headquartered there, or was built by a majority-Russia & CIS-based founding team. Anything we cannot verify is excluded.
Origin means where a company was born. Many Russia & CIS-based AI companies relocated their HQ to the US or Europe for market access while keeping engineering at home. We mark these as “relocated” and keep them: they are part of the Russia & CIS-based AI story.
