About NKSecure

The starting point of the project is participation in the «I’m in Business» competition, a large-scale program to develop entrepreneurial skills among young people. This is where the idea developed and the first technical solutions were formed.

We took third place among all Moscow projects in the «innovation» track and met our mentor for the first time.

We had a two-week period of productive work with experts as part of the «Techno Leaders of Moscow» youth technology acceleration program.

We managed not only to get valuable feedback and make significant progress in the development of the project, but also to establish business ties, drawing the attention of experts and partners.

In January, we took part in the national award «Russia — Country of Opportunities». The event organizer provides an open platform for the exchange of experience between talented and caring people of all ages.

We passed the first qualifying stage and received a certificate of participation, which we are extremely happy about due to the large number of people who wanted to take part.

In March, we returned to the «I’m in Business» project, but already in the role of experts. At the event, we were able to get acquainted with the new generation of entrepreneurs, and most importantly, to evaluate them from an expert point of view and share our story and opinion.

A few days later, our faces appeared on the screens of the VDNKh Youth House during the opening of the IV season of the «I’m in Business» federal entrepreneurial competition.

In the summer we took part in «Innovator of Moscow» — the fifth anniversary competition of the Mayor of Moscow among innovative projects for the best entrepreneurs, scientists and inventors.

The NKSecure project won the competition in the nomination «Changing Reality» in the direction of «Improvement and Construction». The «Academy of Innovators’» educational acceleration program is available for the finalists.

The NKSecure project became a resident of the ROSBIOTECH startup studio and received funding in the amount of 17,000,000 rubles. Since this stage, the company has been officially registered as LokTech LLC.

In the same month, the project became one of the winners of the Start-Up competition from the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE), receiving a grant of 3,000,000 rubles. The competition was extremely intense: out of 1,200 applications, only 7.3% of the participants received support — a total of 87 projects, and we are proud to be among them.

After receiving funding, the project became the center of attention of the media and Russia’s leading media outlets. Our team managed to demonstrate the work of the prototype and talk about the company’s development on TV channels TVC, REN TV and Russia 1.

After the first publication in just a few days, the project attracted the attention of more than 10 major media outlets, including Forbes, TASS, TechInsider, Spark.ru and other authoritative publications.

In October 2024, the project continued to take steps towards scale and recognition in the professional community. At the largest industry exhibition PIR EXPO 2024, the smart lock was presented as a solution for the hospitality industry.

In the same fall, the project took part in a business mission to Saudi Arabia, the III All-Russian Forum of Technological Entrepreneurship, as well as the youth forum and exhibition “Career, City, Business”.

NKSecure is recognized at different levels — from Russian independent ratings to international entrepreneurial awards. The project reached the finals of the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards Russia 2025 in the category “Innovation of the Year” and also took 8th place in the category “Breakthrough of the Year”.

In addition, the project was among the top 7 best startups out of 3,000 applications across Russia, becoming a finalist of the “I Create Business” contest, and the RB.RU included NKSecure in the list of 100 most promising Russian companies within the RB Choice project.
