What institutional innovators say about the project

The draft law “On the technological policy of the Russian Federation” was developed with the involvement of the expert and scientific community, the market and interested departments. Rosatom believes that the adoption of the bill will significantly increase the efficiency of implementation of projects for the development and implementation of domestic technologies, including by defining priorities and concentrating state and business resources on their development. “Such priorities include those developed by the state corporation Rosatom, as a subject of technology policy, technologies and products in the field of nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, new promising materials and technologies,” they add. Vice President, Director of Development and Planning of the Skolkovo Foundation Sergei Izrailit points out that the tools contained in the new law will help systematize the roles and increase awareness of all participants in innovation activities – from startups to the state. “Optimization of internal processes will accelerate the formation of chains of transfer of end-to-end and critical technologies from science to industry. Thus, the new law will help pave the way for technology companies to enter the market and strengthen Russia’s technological sovereignty,” he adds. He also expects that Skolkovo’s experience in establishing interaction between manufacturers and customers of technologies and creating legal regimes will allow the fund to act as a technology broker.
