but you left why did the authorities decide to build the innovation center from scratch rather than use takes in science it is switched to moscow region alone has quite a number of. 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 the 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 or less if their ideas have high expectations regarding an american venture capital fund investment in. american and what can we give them in return for investments that investors are afraid to in. as to to 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 dealing that

a company investments. a venture investor always brings his experience along with his money when investing in a business but experience wise american funds are certainly the most experienced today. having visits skolkovo last spring some investors criticize the project citing a lack of scientific minds is russia planning on involving russian experts from the west. because i don't believe that in the modern world it's actually necessary to physically bring people back from the west from developed economies where they've undergone training in international universities and research centers rather establishing a fish 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 on the development of technological diaspora networks has become a commonly accepted concept. 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. i think. in my opinion political will the will to carry out the project and an understanding of its necessity are the only possible guarantees as for the necessity. i believe we absolutely do need it 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 the 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 is 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 in saying 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 loses 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 networks of added value to be more precise we're

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 or you well. what role will grow materials plain innovative economy. raw materials 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.
