Innovation center near Moscow

The project of an innovation center in Skolkovo near Moscow, initiated by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in March 2010. In the same month, a foundation was created to manage the implementation of the project, Viktor Vekselberg became its chairman. Construction of the project is scheduled to start in the first half of 2011.

The term "silicon valley" (or "silicon valley") was coined in 1971 by entrepreneur Ralph Vaerst and journalist Don Hoefler to describe the territorial concentration of high-tech enterprises related to computers (and silicon semiconductors) on northern California near San Francisco. From the 1960s to the 1990s, such large corporations as Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Google placed their production and office space there.

Analogues of "silicon valley" were created by other countries. Back in the 1970s, high-tech production centers began to appear on the island of Kyushu in Japan. In the 1980s, the IDEON science park was created in Sweden, which eventually became the most powerful science and technology cluster in Europe. In the same decade, China created its own "silicon valley", the science park in Beijing was named Zhongguancun. The high-tech park in Indian Bangalore has also gained fame, in which Sun Microsystems, Intel, Cisco, Google and Microsoft have placed their representative offices. In 2004, the creation of the Belarusian high-tech park was also initiated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.

Ideas about creating analogues of "silicon valley" in Russia appeared as early as the 1990s. At different times, Primorye, Chernogolovka and Dubna near Moscow, the Moscow State University Research Center in Moscow, Leningrad region and Siberia, , , , . By the mid-2000s, dozens of technoparks of various sizes existed in the regions of Russia, based mainly around scientific, educational institutions and industrial enterprises. The idea of creating technology parks was also supported by President Vladimir Putin, after he visited Bangalore in 2004. On his initiative, funds were allocated from the federal budget (about 7 billion rubles from 2007 to 2010) for the creation of science parks related to information technology. The allocated funds were used to create three technoparks: the West Siberian Innovation Center in the Tyumen Region, the IT Park in Tatarstan, and the Center for Technological Support of Innovative Developments in Novosibirsk region. However, in the press, the results of this program were not highly rated,,,,.

As one of the measures to attract investment in high-tech production in Russia, the state corporation Rosnano was established in July 2006, headed by Anatoly Chubais. Russian Presidents Vladimir Putin, and then Dmitry Medvedev, have repeatedly stated the need to develop a complex in the country innovative technologies. In May 2009, Medvedev headed the Commission he created for the modernization and technological development of the Russian economy, which also included ONEXIM President Mikhail Prokhorov, director of the Russian Venture Company Igor Agamirzyan, director of the Kurchatov Institute Mikhail Kovalchuk, co-owner of DST Global Yuri Milner, as well as officials and heads of state corporations. In November of the same year, in his message to the Federal Assembly, the president proclaimed "the beginning of a new course aimed at overcoming the general backwardness of Russia through the same general modernization", according to analysts, "declared himself the president of modernization",,,. In December of the same year, the head of state formed a working group headed by Vladislav Surkov to create in the country "a territorially separate complex for the development of research and development and the commercialization of their results." As the head of the group, in February 2010, Surkov gave an interview to the Vedomosti newspaper, where he spoke about plans to create an "innovation valley" or "innograd" in Russia - a kind of national analogue of "silicon valley",,. According to the press, this decision could have been influenced by open letter Medvedev writer-publicist Maxim Kalashnikov,. In the same period, it became known that the Rosnano corporation,,, would be responsible for the organizational and technical support of the working group for the creation of an innovation center.

Obninsk, Tomsk, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg were considered as options for the location of the "innovation valley". Also, Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Arkady Dvorkovich stated that the "innograd" would not focus on computer technologies alone, the construction of the scientific infrastructure of the project would be financed from the federal budget, and the rest, including commercial and social facilities will be based on the principles of co-financing.

On March 18, 2010, Medvedev announced that the area in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow Region near the village of Skolkovo was chosen as the construction site for the "innovation valley". In favor of this choice was the fact that shortly before that, the Moscow School of Management "Skolkovo" was opened there. The construction of the school, whose board of trustees was headed by Medvedev, began in 2006. It was founded with the participation of TNK-BP, Severstal, Russian Standard, Credit Suisse, the trading house GUM, Itera, the First Czech-Russian Bank, Troika Dialog and SUN Group. In addition to these companies, the coordinating council also included Leonid Mikhelson (NOVATEK), Alexander Abramov (Evraz) and Ruben Vardanyan (Troika Dialog), , , . A site of complex configuration with a total area of 375 hectares was allocated for the construction of the "innograd", the government noted that it would not be necessary to buy the site for the project, since the land under it belongs to the state: the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Nemchinovka Research Institute of Agriculture. The latter could be closed due to the construction of Skolkovo. Medvedev called the innovation city project a prototype of the city of the future,,,.

On March 23, 2010, Medvedev announced that Viktor Vekselberg, chairman of the boards of directors of the United Company Rusal and the Russian-American joint venture Renova, would head the coordinating structure for the creation of the "innograd" in Skolkovo. The structure was called the "Development Fund of the Center for the Development and Commercialization of New Technologies" or simply the Skolkovo Fund, , , , , , . Three advisory bodies were created to manage the project: the board of trustees, the advisory scientific council and the foundation council, working on the principles of the board of directors large corporation and decision maker by majority vote.

The scientific advisory board of the project in April 2010 was headed by Nobel laureates Zhores Alferov and Roger Kornberg (Roger Kornberg) , , , . Medvedev himself became the chairman of the fund's board of trustees, it also included ministers Andrei Fursenko, Elvira Nabiullina and Alexei Kudrin,. Vekselberg and former CEO of Intel Craig Barrett were appointed co-chairs of the board of the Skolkovo Foundation, and such persons as the president of OAO Lukoil Vagit Alekperov, chairman of the board of directors of Google Eric Schmidt and CEO " Rusnano" Anatoly Chubais.

In May 2010, the government commission finally decided on the transfer of 100 hectares of land to the project from the Nemchinovka Research Institute, it was expected that the project would receive the remaining 250 hectares belonging to the institute. In early June 2010, Vekselberg clarified the characteristics of land use in the Skolkovo project. According to him, it was planned to give 60 percent of the territory for housing development, 22 percent for research and production areas, and two percent for the construction of a new university. According to him, the territory would be enough to accommodate 80 percent of the planned number of employees, or 11,620 people. At the same time, Vekselberg announced that the Skolkovo project needed about a hundred more hectares of land in the neighborhood, which belonged, in particular, to the structures of Roman Abramovich,,,,. The market value of a hectare of land in the Odintsovo district was estimated from 1.5 to 3 million dollars, however, according to journalists, it was not possible to estimate the cost of the site for Skolkovo,.

According to Vekselberg, the cost of the first stage of construction of the innovation center in the spring of 2010 was 4.6 billion rubles, which should have been spent on design, organization of tenders and other preparatory activities. In total, the costs of Skolkovo were estimated by him at 50-60 billion rubles, and it was noted that this would be budget money, and only a small part of it would be contributed by investors,. Vekselberg stated that the payback of the project would be achieved in 5-7 years, and he could bring the first results even earlier. However, in October 2010, Vekselberg already said that the total cost of the project would increase to 180-200 billion rubles, half of which would go to the state budget.

To implement the project, it was proposed to create a special legal regime for the Skolkovo innovation city: not only to provide the project with preferential taxation, but also to create its own divisions on its territory law enforcement and social services. It was announced that there would be no municipal government in the innovation city, and the foundation,,,, would deal with all economic issues. Project participants were exempted for 10 years from paying VAT (if the profit did not exceed a billion US dollars), taxes on profits and property. The state was also obliged to reimburse customs duties and import VAT, . The leader of the Yabloko party, Sergei Mitrokhin, said that this procedure is contrary to the constitution, but no one sent requests to the Constitutional Court about the status of Skolkovo.

It was reported that Alfa Group, Lukoil, ONEXIM, Siemens, Cisco and Nokia showed interest in the project. Among the main scientific directions The projects noted in the law were:

energy efficiency and energy saving, including the development of innovative energy technologies;
nuclear technologies;
space technologies, primarily in the field of telecommunications and navigation systems;
medical technologies in the field of development of equipment, medicines;
strategic Computer techologies and software.

In September 2010, a package of bills on the creation of an innovation city in Skolkovo was approved by the State Duma, the Federation Council and signed by Medvedev and entered into force immediately after the publication,,. In the last reading, the bill included a clause stating that all benefits until 2014 will be provided to project participants, even if they are not yet physically present on the territory of the center (subsequently it was assumed that all of them should move to Skolkovo),.

In the same month, the Skolkovo Foundation began selecting architectural and engineering projects for the innovation city. The Skolkovo Foundation received the first 4 million funds from the state budget in October 2010.

In October 2010, the Vostryakovo platform of the Kyiv direction of the Moscow railway was renamed Skolkovo, despite the fact that it was separated from Skolkovo by several kilometers of forest. In the summer of 2012, a plan was made public for the construction of the so-called "north-western chord" - a route that should connect the Skolkovo highway, next to which the innovation center was located, with the Yaroslavl highway. According to the plan, the 29-kilometer highway should pass through several Moscow streets, which caused protests from Muscovites living along them,. In July 2012, the Skolkovo Foundation signed an agreement with Finmarket, owned by brothers Mikhail and Sait-Salam Gutseriev, to build a transport hub in the innovation city. It was reported that the area of the transport hub will be about 30,000 square meters, and Finmarket intends to invest $1 billion in it. According to RBC Daily, the Gutserievs undertook to finance the project, because the transport hub could be built on their territory,.

According to Dvorkovich, the construction of the innovation city was to begin in the first half of 2011 and take one year. At the end of February 2011, the French firm AREP won the Skolkovo architectural concept competition, and its project was to form the basis for the layout of the future innovation center. However, some community groups demanded adjustments to this plan. In particular, in 2012, an act of state historical and cultural expertise was sent to the Ministry of Culture of the Moscow Region with a recommendation to preserve the Mamonovo estate on the territory of Skolkovo, which previously housed the Polet rest house. In August 2011, the construction of the underground electrical substation of the same name began in Skolkovo, which became the first of its kind in Russia. Within the framework of the project, in particular, it was planned to transfer seven overhead power lines with a voltage of 110-500 kilovolts underground, which would free up about 180 hectares for the construction of infrastructure facilities. At the beginning of August 2012, two 63-megawatt SF6 transformers manufactured by the Japanese company Toshiba were installed at the Skolkovo substation. It was noted that these transformers were specially designed for use in underground electrical facilities and had not previously been used in Russia. In parallel, FGC UES was building another underground substation - Smirnovo, which was also supposed to provide the innovation city with electricity. FGC UES investments in both power facilities amounted to about 16 billion rubles,,.

Some politicians, including State Duma deputy Valery Zubov, directly stated that the entire Skolkovo project would be used solely for the profit of its organizers and would become a kind of "internal offshore",,. The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov said that he doubted the advisability of creating another science city, when the existing ones do not receive funding. According to critics, the Skolkovo project, at best, will turn into an analogue of a research center in Indian Bangalore, which is "surrounded by barbed wire so that impoverished peasants from the surrounding villages, who do not speak English or even Hindi, do not interfere with" creativity young people "from wealthy families, including remigrants from the USA, Australia, Canada and the UK", or will remain an analogue of the Malaysian technopark Cyberjayu, which, despite the efforts of the government, could not attract high-tech companies and industries,. Assessing international experience and studies of the impact of technology parks, experts from the University College London (University College London) and the Eurasian National University noted that their creation did not bring any positive results.

The project was also criticized in the press for its proximity to Moscow: observers noted that there was no point in giving 60 percent of the territory of the "innograd" for housing, since there is already a developed urban housing infrastructure nearby. Observers also noted that, unlike Skolkovo in Silicon Valley, the cost of land in the United States is relatively low, which attracted small but promising companies there.

In September 2010, after news of the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics to natives of Russia Andrei Game and Konstantin Novoselov, they were invited to work at Skolkovo, but Game said in an interview that he was not going to return to his homeland even "for a bag of gold", at the same time, he gave an unflattering description of the project. He also advised the organizers of the project not to "lure big people from abroad", but to invest in young scientists,,.

As of mid-August 2012, Skolkovo included 583 companies. During the presentation of a symbolic mortgage brick to the company, which became the 500th resident, Vekselberg found it difficult to explain what she was doing, because, according to him, "it is very difficult and unrealistic to understand",.

"Skolkovo - innovative complex located outside the Moscow Ring Road. In 2010-2011 it has been described as "Russian Silicon Valley". Skolkovo is a science city being built from scratch to develop and commercialize new technologies. The complex will provide special economic conditions for enterprises engaged in priority sectors of the development of the Russian economy. Let's take a closer look at what is innovation center "Skolkovo"", what activities are carried out in it and what regulatory acts regulate the work.

Project

In 2010, D. Medvedev, then President of the Russian Federation, signed Federal Law No. 244, which regulates the activities of entities (enterprises and individuals) on the territory of the Skolkovo complex. At the same time, a project for the creation of the territory itself and infrastructure facilities was approved. Implementation is carried out by the Skolkovo Foundation. The result of its activities should be a self-developing and self-governing Ecosystem, favorable for the implementation entrepreneurial activity and expansion of research, contributing to the formation of competitive companies in the world market. The Project provides that by 2020 on an area of 2.5 million square meters. m will work and live about 50 thousand citizens. The construction of the residential complex is currently being completed Panorama of Skolkovo". Presumably, at the end of the year, the houses will be put into operation. As of February 27 of this year, the buildings of Hypercube, Technopark, Boeing International Aviation Academy have already been built and are in use. The development department of the Fund is located on the territory of the latter. The commissioning is currently underway At the end of 2016, the commissioning of the Almateya business center, the Skolkovo residential complex (blocks 9, 10, 11), the Matryoshka building with interior decoration is planned.

Location

Initially, the complex occupied the territory of an urban settlement near the village of Skolkovo. It is located in the east of the Odintsovo district, west of the Moscow Ring Road. The territory of the complex was included in the capital region as part of a large-scale expansion of its area. Since July 2012, it belongs to the area of the Mozhaisk Western Autonomous Okrug. Approximately 15,000 people will permanently reside on the territory, the area of which is 400 hectares. About 7 thousand will come to work in " Skolkovo Moscow and the region are the main sources labor resources for the complex. The city is limited to three highways. They are Skolkovo and also the Moscow Ring Road.

Urban concept

She was selected and approved in 2011, February 25th. The urban development concept called Urbanvillages was developed by AREP. It is a French company specializing in transport solutions. As the Fund's city manager noted, one of the key points of the concept is the possibility of its phased implementation. The project is based on the principle of variability and flexibility - the ability of the territory to relatively short term adapt to changes within the development strategy of the complex in long term. This mobility makes it possible to more effectively respond to market changes. The entire territory is planned to be divided into 5 villages - according to the number of directions in which the Skolkovo center operates. At the same time, a common area will be created here, where the guest part will be located. Planned construction research university, sports, cultural buildings, medical institutions serving those working in Skolkovo. A park and recreation areas will also be created on the territory of the complex.

Key principles of the concept

The project is implemented on the basis of the following provisions:

residential buildings, service infrastructure, as well as direct workplaces will be located within walking distance. The compactness and versatility of the building ensures activity in the area, regardless of the time of day.
The low number of storeys and the high density of buildings make it possible to obtain more usable territory than the construction of high-rise buildings. This method space utilization is one of the efficient.
To preserve the environment, the project provides for a renewable resource provision model. Waste will not be taken out of the city, but disposed of at special facilities. In addition, it is planned to use renewable energy sources - from solar panels and rainwater to geothermal sites.

In accordance with the project, the construction of energy-active and passive buildings in Skolkovo is envisaged. These will be buildings that generate more energy than they consume or practically do not consume resources from external sources.

Legal conditions

In March 2010, the question arose of the need to form a special regime on the territory of Skolkovo. D. Medvedev also supported this discussion. At the end of April, he announced that the Government was instructed to develop a special administrative, customs, tax and legal regime in the territory. E. Nabiullina also took part in the discussion. She stated that it was proposed to establish features legal status territories in a separate law. This normative act would introduce a number of features of Skolkovo. This:

Customs and tax benefits.
Simplified norms of technical regulation and urban planning procedures.
Special requirements fire safety and health regulations.
Facilitate interactions with power structures.

A. Dvorkovich, in turn, said that it is planned to introduce a ten-year vacation on deductions from profits, land and property taxes, and the rate of social contributions will be 14%.

Visa and migration regimes

In the State Duma, in August 2010, there was an active discussion of a draft law providing for the simplification of accounting procedures for highly qualified specialists who arrived from abroad, as well as their relatives. Normative act must ensure the attraction of valuable personnel not only in "Skolkovo". Jobs for foreign citizens are accommodated by many big companies. In this regard, the draft law is aimed at attracting workers to Russia as a whole. At the end of August 2010, a government decree was published, in accordance with which the visa regime for subjects participating in the Skolkovo project was regulated. According to the provisions of the document, a highly qualified foreign specialist who enters the Russian Federation for employment will be issued a visa for 30 days. When hired, it will be extended to three years.

Transport infrastructure

The facilities will be accessible through a dense network of streets and roads. It will use information technology to provide effective management flows and infrastructure in general. Within the complex, priority is given to cyclists, pedestrians and public transport. Suburban train routes from Kievsky and Belorussky stations are planned. In addition, it is supposed to provide communication between the southern and northern parts of the science city. The Skolkovo center will also be connected to the Vnukovo airport. In addition, it was proposed to keep the Ministry of Emergency Situations located on the territory. In mid-June 2010, I. Shuvalov and B. Gromov opened a reconstructed road from km 53 of the Moscow Ring Road to the village of Skolkovo.

Financing

Budget allocations for the development of Skolkovo until 2020 should amount to 125.2 billion rubles, according to the project. The corresponding order was signed on August 13, 2013. At least half of the costs for the creation of the Skolkovo complex are private investments. According to calculations, for each m2 of the territory there will be more than 20 thousand rubles.

Features of financial policy

The following articles are included in the federal budget for the development of the project: to promote activities to expand the infrastructure, develop documentation for non-commercial facilities, scientific research. In early August 2010, the Ministry of Finance published the key directions of financial policy. In accordance with them, 15 billion rubles were planned from the federal budget in 2011, 22 billion in 2012, and 17.1 billion rubles in 2013. In 2010, about 4 billion rubles were allocated. The financial policy involves the placement of part of the funds in banks and transfer to trust management. The planned income from this is 58.85 million rubles. 225 ml. r., for the development of a concept for the development of areas - 10 million rubles, residence "Skolkovo""should cost 401.2 million rubles, including 143.8 million rubles to ensure the social protection of employees. PR support for the project should cost 38.7 million, advertising and placement of media products - 92.8 million, branding - 12.9 million, blogs and web website - 3.1 million rubles. The key group of expenses was called "Creating an innovative atmosphere and pilot projects. It is planned to spend 3.4 billion rubles on them. Of these, about 2.6 billion were to go to projects agreed with the commission on modernization under the president, and 287 million - for the programs that I had to choose Management Company directly to the Foundation. To create the "Intellectual Property Complex, which ensures the work of patent attorneys, in accordance with 22 intergovernmental agreements in which Russia participates, 150 million rubles were planned.

Management

V. Vekselberg acts as president and one of the co-chairs. The second person in the management apparatus is K. Barrett (former head of Intel). The advisory scientific council is co-chaired by Zhores Alferov and prof. Structural biology R. Kornberg. The head of the Board of Trustees is Dr. Medvedev.

Technopark

Its purpose is to provide the enterprises participating in the project with the necessary assistance to effective development their assets and corporate structure. For this, certain services are provided. Technopark works in the following areas:

Educational projects

One of the most promising and early projects is the Skolkovo Business School. In addition, the Open University operates. It does not act as a traditional university, as graduates do not receive diplomas of higher education. It was established to form a reserve of graduate and undergraduate students for the future technological university and trainees for partner enterprises. The areas in which training is carried out at the OTUS coincide with the types of activities of the clusters: energy efficient and energy, computer and biomedical technologies, space, and the nuclear sphere.

Institute

In June 2011, V. Vekselberg and R. Reif signed an agreement on the formation of a new university. Its working title is Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. The agreement is based on the principles of project-based education, involving cooperation based on the exchange of modules within the framework of the MBA program. Skolkovo Institute will be headed by E. Crowley - prof. As the founders plan, it will become the first international research complex capable of integrating business activities into the educational program. The Institute will be organized as a non-profit private educational institution. Its work will be supervised by an international independent board of trustees.

Clusters

There are five of them in the Skolkovo Foundation. They correspond to the same number of directions of technology development. The work of the biomedical technology cluster is to create drugs for the treatment and prevention of severe pathologies, including oncological and neurological ones. Much attention is paid to the development of means to combat cardiovascular diseases, to maintain the immune system. Members of the cluster of computer and information technologies are working on the creation of multimedia search models, effective systems next generation security. High-performance schemes for calculating and storing information are being developed. In the cluster of telecommunications and space technologies, participants create a commercial segment of the rocket and space sector of the industry. One of the priority areas is work in the field of energy technologies. As of mid-August 2014, 263 companies became participants in the cluster. One of the key objectives of their activities is to reduce energy consumption by housing and communal services, industry, and municipal infrastructure. The nuclear technology cluster supports innovations in the use of laser, beam, nuclear, and plasma systems. As of mid-August 2014, 300 companies participated in the work. As priority direction ensuring radiation protection and safety. Participating companies are developing new materials, equipment, coatings for non-destructive testing, new types of fuel. Resident enterprises are involved in the design of laser devices and medical equipment. One of the most important points of the cluster's activity is also the solution of problems associated with the processing of radioactive substances.
