6. Who? What? Why? Where?
The Skolkovo Foundation has a dual function: to help transform Russia into an
innovation-based economy and to reinforce that economy’s integration into the
global network of talent. The creation of the Skolkovo Innovation Centre by 2014
represents the essential element to achieving these objectives. The Centre is
designed to become a unique global ecosystem of academics, entrepreneurs,
scientists and corporations who will turn cutting-edge research and scientific
knowledge into marketable goods, services and business opportunities.
Skolkovo’s mission is to become a platform where the world’s leading scientists and
entrepreneurs can meet, develop, share ideas and foster innovation that contributes
to solving the world’s major problems. Skolkovo reflects the belief that “ideas know
no borders,” so it is striving to bring together the greatest brains from both Russia
and foreign countries to create a distinctive environment to boost creativity and
innovation. It has the ambition to play a role in shaping innovation leaders of the
future. Our goals are:
11 To provide the conditions for Russian talent to develop.
The Skolkovo Innovation Centre will select and provide access for
gifted young people to contemporary knowledge and best practices
worldwide. We firmly believe that personal success can be achieved through
knowledge, creative thinking and an entrepreneurial spirit.
11 To develop globally competitive products and services derived from
cutting-edge science carried out in a socially responsible manner.
It is hoped that Skolkovo will become a magnet to attract advanced
research & development projects from around the world.
11 To build global innovation-intensive and Russian companies. The
Skolkovo Innovation Centre will transform research and development projects
into marketable products, technology and services.

together to make innovation work. Join our
community to help leverage innovation into
solving some of the world‘s biggest challenges!

of the planned 26,000+ residents. The 4km2 town will benefit from excellent
transport and infrastructure facilities including a congress centre, schools, medical

more energy than they consume.
The city is designed as a chain of compact districts integrated into the landscape
with each benefitting from all necessary infrastructures for work and daily life. This
new urban planning model combines respect for the environment with a design to
boost creativity and foster innovation.
To realise this vision, in 2011 alone, $170 million was spent on construction; the

21. Partners
Our success depends on cultivating an international network of technology, corporate,
financial and infrastructure partners. We are actively developing relationships with
global corporations that are the world leaders in their sectors. Many such corporations
share our vision and have already demonstrated their confidence in our success by
establishing regular co-operation and investing almost USD $300 million.
We look to our partners not only for financial investment, but also for their intellectual
and human capital, expertise and developed business cultures. Our partners help
form the critical mass required to ensure our success, and they serve to help naturally
integrate our project into the international innovation environment.
We, too, have much to offer our partners. Skolkovo provides numerous benefits
including financial support (attractive tax regime and advantageous legal status), but
also cooperation with Russia’s top science facilities and specialists and the opportunity
to benefit from the transfer of knowledge and development that is taking place in
Skolkovo and throughout its ecosystem.
Agreements for the creation of 10 corporate research and development centres have
already been signed with about 600 researchers representing a total budget of USD
$205 million. 30 start-up companies are being supported with an additional USD
$58 million, while a further USD $30 million has been provided for corporate venture
funds and business incubators. Nor does investment stop there; co-investment in
our research and educational infrastructure has also been agreed for the Technopark
Savings and Data Centre, International space centre, Skolkovo High Technology Centre
for Continuous Medical Education and a school.

22. Investor Relations
The Skolkovo Foundation is a trusted and reliable partner with a commitment to
providing high quality service with a human focus. Its central project, the creation
of the Skolkovo Innovation Centre will benefit both the Russian economy and the
international community as a whole. For this reason many multinationals companies
have already invested in the project including Boeing, EADS, Johnson & Johnson,
Intel, Nokia, Siemens, GE, IBM, Microsoft, DOW and many others.
Currently, the Russian Federation provides the majority of the funding, but the long-
term aim is to achieve a 50/50 public/private funding ratio. Venture capital funds are
slated to play a key role throughout the Skolkovo ecosystem, and will receive priority
access to the Skolkovo deal pipeline, which includes hundreds of high tech start-ups.
So far, 19 venture capital funds have concluded memoranda of understanding with
the Skolkovo Foundation which together represent USD $230 million worth of investment,
and 23 Skolkovo residents have already won backing from accredited funds.
Moreover, the Skolkovo Foundation is intent on expanding the financing options
currently available to technology start-ups in today’s restrictive fund-raising
environment.
Skolkovo offers foreign partners the opportunity to become involved from the
beginning in Skolkovo’s development to help realise its full potential for research
and the development of cutting-edge products and services. It also offers partners
a series of advantages including an attractive tax and legal status, comprehensive
support for business development and access to Russia’s leading scientific facilities
and specialists.
We invite you to join us in this historic opportunity
and help us to build a brighter future for Russia
and the whole world.
