STATE PRIORITIES IN THE INNOVATIVE POLICY 2 The President Commission for the Modernization and Technological Development of Russian Economy energy efficiency nuclear technology information technology space technology and telecommunications medical technology and pharmaceuticals

NATIONAL INNOVATION INFRASTRUCTURE 3 Innovative infrastructure have to provide cooperation of research institutions and businesses to implement high-tech projects: Educational institutes Development programs of the leading classical universities (Moscow State University and St. Petersburg State University) Selected universities (9 federal and 29 national research universities) receiving additional government support Establishment of national research centers are ( example: Kurchatov Institute) Skolkovo Unprecedented tax benefit, VAT exemption, no social payments etc Favorable administrative regime Skolkovo University of Technology in cooperation with MIT Innovation Zones 4 IZ in Russia: in Moscow region (Dubna), Moscow (Zelenograd), in the cities of St. Petersburg and Tomsk. IZ are provided by necessary transport, engineering and social infrastructure. Various tax incentives, exemption from certain custom duties etc Other members of innovation infrastructure More than 60 existing industrial parks in Russia 13 cities of Russia have “Naukograd” Status (center of scientific research) technology transfer centers, centers of collective use of scientific equipment, business incubators, etc

Development institutions have to support innovation projects at all stages of its business cycle The concept of “Innovative elevator” helps to pass the project as it grows to the relevant development institution and makes it easier for businesses to obtain financing Size of financial support, mln.
