1. Special Economic Zones in Russia What can they offer internationally and how to start?

2. Prologue & Objectives "Russia's innovation potential is potentially greater than that of most other countries at comparable levels of GDP per capita thanks to substantial science base and a well developed education system in science and technology. Yet indicators of actual innovation activity remain low. There is striking imbalance between the public sources devoted to knowledge creation and the observed outputs in terms of innovation. Closing this gap constitutes one of the major challenges for Russian innovation policy. The key to success is in deep Revision of Economical regulation, creating healthy business environment
