that's of especially with mr the museum thank you for being with us today so why did the authorities decide to build a novation center from scratch rather than use stakes based of science it is switched to moscow region alone has quite a number of good i often joke of skin for instance. what beautiful. firstly this innovation center isn't designed to be the same as a science city in soviet times science cities were built in our country a centers for scientific research the way i see it skolkovo is primarily a commercialisation center the military industrial complex was the main consumer of products of sciences he's. everything is different its focus is on the junction

between applied science and the commercial use of innovative technology products this is due to the fact that the market provides consumers for innovative products and development the consumer being primarily the population itself. therefore the infrastructure of the existing science cities doesn't adequately meet the requirements for these objectives it is more often costly to reconstruct them to build from scratch moreover there is the issue of mental heritage the existing science cities also include the people who live and work there it would be hard to integrate them into a new framework. does the present emphasis of innovation centers mean that the idea of techno parks is no longer relevant. i don't think so unfortunately in our country techno parks were created rather as construction projects building property and leasing office space due to a lack of systematic development an understanding of international experience to what is a fundamental difference between a techno park and an innovation center not particle. as

a rule techno parks are focused on a particular industry the skolkovo innovation center is much more diverse and far reaching however it doesn't eliminate the need for techno parks including those in other regions plus there's a possibility of bringing them within skolkovo sphere of influence skolkovo is also a pilot project that can be expanded further. the third is have high expectations regarding an american venture capital funds investment in skulk of the y. americans and what can we give them in return for investments that investors are afraid to invest into corruption and difficult business conditions as they put it. firstly i think it's rather obvious why he wants the americans silicon valley is the world's largest innovation center today this means that it has accumulated the largest wealth of experience which is closely related to investments we're interested in international investments in russia's projects not merely for the

phones themselves but primarily for the experience competence expertise vision of the market understanding of mechanisms and technology of business dealings that accompany investments. a venture investor always brings his experience along with his money when investing in a business and experience wise american phones are certainly the most experienced today. having visit skolkovo last spring some investors criticize the project citing a lack of scientific minds is russia planning on involving russian experts from the west. i don't believe that in the modern world it's actually ness. sorry to physically bring people back from the west from developed economies where they've undergone training in international universities and research centers rather establishing efficient and mutually beneficial cooperation with them is important while the modern world doesn't really require someone's physical presence as long as they participate in a project in my opinion the development of technological diaspora networks has

become a commonly accepted concept for instance the world bank has been particularly researching the impact of technology including the russians on their home loans in my opinion establishing efficient cooperation with these is more important than bringing a certain limited number of our fellow countrymen back to russia say to skolkovo even though this is something that is possible and is also worth doing. well. well in your opinion is there a guarantee that's called will not turn into yet another costly but inefficient project which we have quite a few unfortunately how much does russia actually need it. in my opinion political will the will to carry out the project under an understanding of its necessity are the only possible guarantees as for the necessity i believe we absolutely do need us every historical period of the

country's development every era has its challenges the challenges that russia is facing today aren't the same as fifty or one hundred years ago the soviet period science cities were responsible to the challenges of that time the scope of innovation center project is a response to a completely different challenge a challenge of the market and integration of the russian economy into the global innovative technology system i'll say it time and time again that the technological market has always global by definition and it always serves the needs of a particular individual a consumer and people's needs are very similar worldwide as people are very similar around the world cellphones are a classic example of the up to date innovation product the entire world has been using the same cell phones any attempt to develop a national cell phone would be insane this is the globalization of technological business that had never been seen in previous forms of business several years ago one often saw a sticker saying made in the usa or even earlier made in the u.s.s.r.

recently we've been seeing more and more sticker saying made in china but on the latest technological products the sticker looses its meaning the back of an i phone reads designed by apple in california assembled in china which means the product was developed in the u.s. and assembled in china using parts produced in other countries. one of today's very significant challenges for our country is the fact that we're poorly integrated into these international net. of added value to be more precise were integrated into them at the lowest levels suppliers of energy resources raw materials and lower level process products however in order to meet today's challenges and to make our economy competitive at the next stage of development our task is to integrate into this market at the highest levels in other words into the development production and sales networks of these high tech products but. what role will role materials play in the innovative economy.

will undoubtedly remain one of russia's main sources of income for a long time yet. i think we should openly admit that the current economic modernization in russia would have been impossible without raw materials because this sector pays it earns the phones which state and private business invest in modernization projects an innovative economic development. block well nevertheless we're trying to reduce our dependence on raw materials. in my view russia isn't trying to use its dependence on raw materials the thing is that those responsible for economic decisions understand only too well that we have quite a short time left to continue living off natural resources in the next ten fifteen or twenty years the world economic architecture will change so much that the raw material sector will simply lose the significance it has today this year has seen a landmark event which is largely gone noticed for the first time in fifty years

america's tesla a company that brought the first electric vehicle to the market has gone public this is a very significant event because it means that the markers which always reflect society's mood believed in the idea so much that it was ready to invest money into a project that would have been considered crazy and unthinkable just a few years ago. it also means that in the next ten to fifteen years a considerable part of the ultimo bill fleet will operate totally differently it will be electrical environmentally clean etc who will then need us and our oil if the world stops consuming oil as an energy resource in such huge amounts and if we fail to diversify reorganize our economy and introduce innovative development then russia will turn out to be competitive in the world market. when you think it's the biggest hindrance to introducing innovation today. i don't like the term introduce usually it's things which no one needs that have to be

introduced things that are in demand should be sold and fortunately today our major companies at home are not at all keen on innovation. i'm a member of a working group which deals with the innovative development of state owned companies but i am perfectly aware that administrative methods can be used to introduce the need for innovation in state owned companies but that scheme won't work in private firms the demand for innovation emerges when the market becomes competitive competition forces companies to improve their work create products with a higher added value increased labor productivity cut expenses etc that's what innovation is needed for technological innovation doesn't influence eventual profit and loss because they depend on a monopoly in the market rather than official cooperation it's obvious that such a company will have no need for innovation that's why i believe that improving the competitiveness of russian business will certainly contribute to the innovative development of our economy. how fast information technologies develop in russia

what's our ranking in a world. of a shooter i don't think there's a measure to calculate this sort of thing i t. is a fairly broad term and there are many aspects to it for example if we look at computer software there are just two net software exporters in the world while all the other countries are just net importers it doesn't mean that they don't export at all but their imports considerably exceed their exports to net exports are the united states and india. at the moment there are signs that china and russia have a good chance of joining this club of net exporters russia is not. in the world to my mind is the most mature market branch of industry in russia i would largely explain this by the fact that it developed in post soviet years and was nonexistent in soviet days it emerged in the post soviet period and developed into the strong influence of transnational corporations which brought with them absolutely standard models of work market models applied worldwide. today is the most mature market

segment of our economy absolutely transparent and deeply integrated in global infrastructure if we manage to do the same with other technological segments we will largely fulfill the task of innovative development. thank you very much for this interview. shows that so much. on it. as a merit to the poll it would appear that things enrich the republican party and hot tea partiers of the g.o.p. . the official.

that shit load of. shit which it is. it was. a good trick really. choice it all shit is what it is. it was the world. it was a lot of it is. a football match and sit on a sweater he says his side contre for to relax as they remain on course to claim the second league title sunday's three nil home when i put them six points clear at the top of the russian premier league with just five games left to play as well as he was pleased with his side's attacking performance which saw bank of each firing home a free kick to make it one mill for example back to brace this time of the season to twelve minutes past back from their first need to see into the hands of spa tacked last week and they could wrap up the title in the next three games while

i learn all that left hovering about the relegation zone i. can taste on lost ground on the leading to managing only a one or draw it's not so despite having a one man advantage for almost the entire second far off to mash and that's it i've been to the army meant five minutes before the break. even off and that's an equaliser straight off to half time to scottsdale three points behind rick being the game in town and. nothing much meanwhile have moved into the last few weeks boss despite spending down to ten men against and she. gave them a late winner the cool of the flag taking the brunt of his celebrations. the field spots are now tricked into fists on the table. well now fix it up against terror and having to settle for a point coming from a goal down to do it thanks to my eighty seven equaliser that being here.

a gun like device called a market which has ballots containing paint there are different kinds of pinball but as a sport pinball was first played at the beginning of the 1980's in the us spotting commies a mixture of everything hold the sport in foreign more games more pain balls means more foreign it's an extremely interesting time how i started with it as board and that kind of pinball is more professional than just for fun it's not surprising the americans became the translators with big industry and best league almost like the n.b.a. for pinball players and all the sports fans gear up once a year for what has become the greatest and most interested period pain going beyond that p.s.p. world cup in orlando teams from all over the world come to outshine their. in prove that they belong at the top most of the teams are from north america as a level of their performance he's much hurt except for one team russian legion this is a professional pinball team from moscow that set themselves being of becoming more

old number one thousand nine hundred ninety six and were crowned world champions for the third time this year the russians continued to make history by threshing all their opinions and as a result in the final it was a massacre with the russian legion side winning it seven behind all that is its course a lot of blood is because we spend a lot more than any other team in us to spend time over here by practice and we spend thousands of hours by playing ball we spend hundreds of hours by making special fitness exercises and it's just our level but it's not just about physical ability or shooting skills prepare the team for each tournament where it's a battle of wits as well you must know tactics if you're playing just by yourself you will do nothing so the team and the squad is out of five people and each person that squad must know what he is doing to help his guys and so lead him as

a real part of the squad that can do his job as good as possible however is real professionals the team doesn't appear to rest in their laurels they're dedicated to pinball and want to attract a younger sister to the sport and make it people in russia in the world success is the best advertisement for money and the truth is that the best league with the best players is in the u.s. where pinball is very popular where delighted to be them on their home ground but of course we'd like to have a strong week here in russia and i hope the sport will grow to be popular and lots of youngsters will get involved and if the russian legion team continue their winning ways it could well achieve their aims of making pinball even more popular here in their native land complain but out of. the fun. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
