The Skolkovo Foundation has an ambitious goal to turn cutting-edge research into world-class products, by creating a multibillion dollar unique global hub and innovation centre, an ecosystem of entrepreneurs and talents. Our journey began in 2010, as Russia recognised the need to modernise its economy and decrease its dependence on oil and gas. The Skolkovo Innovation Centre is designed to meet that challenge and realise the potential of Russia’s extraordinary wealth of human capital, retaining and attracting Russian and international talent and building a knowledge economy that offers a long-lasting legacy to Russian citizens and the world. Skolkovo Innovation Centre The Skolkovo Innovation Centre will be made of 4 components, each interacting with one another to boost and improve cooperation and networking: 5 research clusters, a technopark, a university and a city. Skolkovo endeavours to discover solutions to real-world challenges through five unique talent- driven “clusters” (IT, Biomedical, Energy, Nuclear and Space & Telecommunications), each already active and headed by outstanding scientists. Entrepreneurs and scientists work side-by-side developing creative ideas from research to product development, from start-up to major business operation. 310 innovation focused companies have joined these clusters after being selected through a competitive process. They benefit from research grants of between $50,000 and $10 million. $150 million has already been granted. The Technopark will host world-class infrastructure, resources and business support. It will provide a full range of business services: incubation, intellectual property protection, investor relations, access to venture funds, and much more besides. Our Technopark is fully integrated in the global innovation community, through membership of Technopark-Alliance. The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (SkTech) will offer exceptional Masters and PhD programmes in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This non-governmental post-graduate school was established to nurture the future community of talents needed to build our legacy. By 2014, SkTech will be home to over 1,200 students, 300 PhD scholars and 200 professors.
