Tatarstan start-ups to receive support upon entering international market
16 November 2011, Wednesday
The selection of innovative projects expected to be promoted at the international level with the help of Global Innovation Access (GIA) company took place in Kazan.
20 companies in the sphere of information and computer technologies, biomedicine and energy saving are preparing their strategies with support of Global Innovation Access. In the nearest time some of them will start promotion abroad. Other companies will get opportunity to speed up development of their products by means of attracting investments and grants.
200 projects were considered at the preliminary stage. Only one tenth of them passed to the next stage.
“As usual many projects in the sphere of energy saving and medicine were presented, but the correlation of really interesting and promising projects in the sphere of information and computer technologies was especially high. Most of projects are already residents of the “IT-park” or business incubator, or pretend to get this status. It means that properly created infrastructure component really comprises the best innovative projects”, Director of Global Innovation Access Renata Akhunova stated.
“The activity of Business incubator of Kazan IT-park is based on the principle of supporting young IT-companies. A team pretending to be located in Business incubator comes with a very simple description of their project. We help them to realize their ideas by involving experts from various spheres who are working on the project for two or three days. After such preliminary preparation projects are assessed by independent IT-experts. The best projects become residents of Business incubator and receive overall support”, Director-general of Technopark in the sphere of high technologies “IT-park” Dinar Nasyrov said.
The selected projects define the route of development. The most practically feasible will start it in Skolkovo, others will participate in SmartUp program launched in the Silicon Valley by Global Innovation Access. In both cases projects will get assistance in attracting investments and grants, preparation of documents for passing formal procedures, improvement of products and development of strategies.
