The leaders’ events were held with the participation of representatives of the Skolkovo Foundation, the Ministry of Education of Russia, and VEB.Russian Federation, ANO “Digital Economy”, Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), Higher School of Economics, Presidential Grants Fund, JSC “Russian Railways”.
“We traditionally invite project leaders to take part in the St. Petersburg Forum. It was important for us, first of all, to introduce the authors of the ideas to potential partners, investors from among large companies, development institutions, federal agencies, to register interest in certain projects, so that in the future we could build precise work between the “big players” and project leaders on the principle of “need – solution”.
The Forum is always an excellent platform for finding new contacts, reaching some preliminary agreements on cooperation,” said Ekaterina Kodzasova, Director of the ASI Partner Network Development Center.
