IT MARKET TRENDS

WORLD

– IT SERVICES: the scope of

services in the IT sector far

exceeds the amount of software

development (software), but the

growth of the sector has stabilized

– SOFTWARE: new markets gain

importance in view of reducing the

use of unlicensed software

– EQUIPMENT: in developed

countries IT equipment spending

is a small proportion of capital

spent in emerging markets – its a

significant amount

RUSSIA

– IT SERVICES: IT services is a

small fraction of total IT

spending, compared with

Western countries

– SOFTWARE: stable rapid

growth associated with the

automation of industries and

state projects

– EQUIPMENT: the IT spending

in Russian firms is mostly the

cost of IT equipment

▪ Support areas that impact productivity increase in industries, especially IT-enabled, e.g., banking, telecom, where automation is one of the key factors of industry competitiveness

Rationale Example areas

▪ IT in healthcare and medicine▪ IT in education▪ Web X.0▪ Financial and banking software

systems▪ Mobile applications

ENABLE PARTICIPATION IN TOP GLOBAL IT TRENDS AND INNOVATION

▪ Main global IT trends (e.g., cloud computing) change the IT industry delivery model globally and their adoption is prerequisite to compete in the global economy

▪ Some IT trends are enabling development of other industries (e.g., embedded systems) and their adoption determines competitiveness of respective industries

▪ The world R&D focus is usually on the areas with high disruptive potential. Russia must be part of that step change to remain competitive

▪ Cloud computing▪ Wireless sensor networks▪ Embedded systems▪ Green IT, incl. smart grid

STRENGTHENING EXISTING AREAS OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

▪ Support areas of traditional strengths for IT cluster with advanced, world-competitive “know-how”, market recognition, highly competent resources that could serve as platform for expansion into adjacent spaces

▪ Existing competitive expertise can serve to attract key partners and investors in the IT industry in general

▪ International recognition in few areas raises the prestige of the IT industry as a whole

▪ IT security▪ Complex engineering solutions▪ Analytical SW▪ Virtualization platforms▪ Advanced search▪ Image, video and speech

recognition and processing▪ Advanced electronics

SYSTEMS FOR RECOGNITION AND TRANSLATION OF NATURAL

LANGUAGE “ABBYY INFOPOISK” LLC

IT Cluster

Skolkovo Foundation

Project is aimed at development of the fundamental linguistic system of text

analysis. The following systems will be based on it: automatic machine

translation of a new generation, fact search and analysis in large text arrays

(smart search), document comparison systems. Basing upon the results of

this project we expect the emergence of brand new systems for document

classification and annotation, improved speech recognition systems and

systems protecting information against unauthorized access.

The research project will have many indirect

results, which will be commercialized in Skolkovo

as independent spin-off companies, with the

involvement of venture capital investments;

The developed algorithms will be used in Skolkovo

to create a unique tool for patent search, in order

to determine the international novelty and patent

opportunities in various fields of science.

REAL TIME TEXT VISUALIZATION

“BAZELEVS INNOVATSIYI” LLC

IT Cluster

Skolkovo Foundation

The Project will develop software products in the following areas: computer and

3D graphics for TV and film production, animation and graphics for computer

models and applications. The project involves research, development and

implementation of a software complex to implement a interactive three-

dimensional text visualization technology, which is an essential component of film,

television and theatrical production throughout the world. This will address the

creative and technical problems at an early stage of creation of audio-visual

products, reduce the gap between the script and visual production, time and cost

of film production through interactivity, automatic text analysis and construction of

the required three-dimensional image.

Cloud computing 3D rendering

“KlaudMak” LLC

IT Cluster

Skolkovo Foundation

The Project is aimed at development of the technology, which combines

server rendering and HTML, as distinct from other solutions that require

additional software at the client's end. The benefit this solution provides is

resource efficiency, saving processing power and traffic. Some examples of

its use may are a virtual test-drive in a new car or the close examination of

any object. A potential customer will have no need to go to a store and stand

in line, he will just go to the site and examine the object from his home or

from a cafe, in a comfortable chair with an iPad in his hand.

In addition, "Klaudmak" is a way to create interactive programs for learning

physics, geography and astronomy. Children will learn new things and

communicate with each other in a virtual 3D world, as characters from

Smeshariki animated series or historical figures.

properties, optical submicron transistors and high-frequency optical

electronics, new systems for studying the brain, compact and accurate

clocks for navigation systems, radically new ultra-fast computing

systems and many other things are among the potential results of these

studies. The Center plans to unite about 10 research groups under one

roof; they will work in the field of quantum technology, in close

cooperation with foreign partners.
