How we select projects?• Panel of 126 world class experts selects projects;

• For each incoming project randomly selected 10 experts answer a set of six

important questions:

1. Does project corresponds to one of clusters foresights?

2. Does product or technology has potential competitive advantage over world’s

similar products or technologies?

3. Does product or technology has significant commercial opportunity on Russian

market (minimum) and world market (in perspective)?

4. Is project theoretically feasible and don’t contradict fundamental scientific

principles?

5. Do key researchers, developers and managers have necessary knowledge and

experience for successful project implementation?

6. Does project team has a member (or few members) with international experience in

research, development and commercialization of projects’ results?

If majority of experts answer “Yes”, then project is granted Skolkovo’s status!

Results are modest but there are Results!

• Rock Flow Dynamics sells tNavigator to JOGMEC• T8 set world record with OFS Furukawa Company• Abbyy operates in Japan

Skolkovo M.D. Challenge

Skolkovo Robotics Challenge

Skolkovo Robotics ChallengePossible nominations:• A robotic platform for educational programs• Automatic harvesting for agricultural purposes• “Brain - Computer” interface• ”Third Hand”• Cognitive robots• Personal protection robots• Robotic delivery of goods to remote mobile groups• Cheap and fast robotic arm

What we think of future Japan-Russian collaboration?

• Take advantage of Russian talents and easy tax regime to setup R&D centers or startup;

• Re-use our cool technologies, partnering with our startups to conquer global markets;

• Offer cool technologies to our startups and research centers for joint projects;

• Take advantage of our projects’ pipeline to see what is happening.

Examples of our projects

Rock Flow Dynamics• Recently JOGMEC bought a licencense for its product

tNavigator:• This software is designed for running dynamic reservoir

simulations on engineers’ laptops, servers, and HPC clusters.

• Unlike other competing software products, tNavigator license pricing doesn’t depend on the number of cores employed in the shared memory computing systems.

• One of the other distinctive features, which sets tNavigator apart from any existing products, is the interactive user control of the simulation run

T8: DWDM at 25 Tb/s• For development of DWDM system 25Т needs to

transmit 250 channels 100G in С+L band, 33GHz • Alternative – 62 channels 400G loses by transmission

distance. • The project will require the development of domestic

module 100G with good spectrum characteristics and 33GHz grid, C+L band application.

• Т8 STC has got Skolkovo’s resident status due to DWDM 25T project.

World record set by joint Russia and Japan team!

Science in Russia

• Russia contributed greatly to the advancement of science and technology.

• Spending on science and innovation increased sharply in the last five years

• Russia is one of world’s top ten spenders on innovation and science

• Number of patent applications increased by about 50% in the last ten years

• Skolkovo is to link Russian science with business and entrepreneurship

60 scientific towns

World’s 8th largest state funding for innovation
