"Skolkovo "- innovative complex located outside the Moscow Ring Road. In 2010-2011. it has been described as the "Russian Silicon Valley". Skolkovo is a science city under construction from scratch for the development and commercialization of new technologies. The complex will provide special economic conditions for enterprises engaged in priority sectors of the development of the Russian economy. Let us consider in detail what is innovation center "Skolkovo"what activities are carried out in it and what normative acts regulate the work.

Project

In 2010, D. Medvedev, the then President of the Russian Federation, signed Federal Law No. 244, which regulates the activities of entities (enterprises and individuals) on the territory of the Skolkovo complex. Along with this, a project was approved for the creation of the territory itself and infrastructure facilities. The implementation is carried out by the Skolkovo Foundation. The result of its activities should be a self-developing and self-governing Ecosystem, favorable for the implementation entrepreneurial activity and expanding research to help build globally competitive companies. The Project provides that by 2020 on the territory of 2.5 million sq. m will work and live about 50 thousand citizens. Currently, the construction of a residential complex is nearing completion. Skolkovo panorama". Presumably at the end of the year, the houses will be put into operation. As of February 27 of this year, the buildings of the Hypercube, Technopark, Boeing International Aviation Academy are already built and are in use. The development department of the Fund is located on the territory of the latter. new facilities At the end of 2016, it is planned to commission the Almateya business center, the Skolkovo residential complex (quarters 9, 10, 11), the Matryoshka building with interior decoration.

Location

Initially, the complex occupied the territory of an urban settlement near the village of Skolkovo. It is located in the east of the Odintsovo district, west of the Moscow Ring Road. The territory of the complex was included in the capital region as part of a large-scale expansion of its area. Since July 2012, it belongs to the area of the Mozhaisky Western AO. On the territory, the area of which is 400 hectares, approximately 15 thousand people will live permanently. About 7 thousand will come to work in " Skolkovo ". Moscow and the region are the main sources labor resources for the complex. The city is limited to three tracks. They are Skolkovo and as well as the Moscow Ring Road.

Urban planning concept

It was selected and approved in 2011 on February 25th. The urban development concept called Urbanvillages was developed by AREP. It is a French company specializing in transport solutions... As the city manager of the Fund noted, one of the key points of the concept is the possibility of its phased implementation. The project is based on the principle of variability and flexibility - the ability of the territory in a relatively short term adapt to changes in the development strategy of the complex in the long term. This mobility makes it possible to more effectively respond to market changes. The entire territory is planned to be divided into 5 villages - according to the number of directions in which the Skolkovo center operates. In this case, a common area will be created here, where the guest part will be located. It is planned to construct a research university, sports, cultural buildings, medical institutions serving workers in Skolkovo. A park and recreation areas will also be created on the territory of the complex.

Key principles of the concept

The project is being implemented on the basis of the following provisions:

residential buildings, service infrastructure, as well as directly workplaces will be located within walking distance. The compactness and versatility of the building ensures activity in the area regardless of the time of day.
Low number of storeys and high density of buildings make it possible to obtain more useful territory than the construction of high-rise buildings. This method use of space is one of the most effective.
To preserve the ecology, the project provides for a renewable resource supply model. Waste will not be taken out of the city, but disposed of at special complexes. In addition, it is planned to use renewable energy sources - from solar panels and rainwater to geothermal sites.

In accordance with the project, the construction of energy-active and passive buildings in Skolkovo is envisaged. These will be buildings that generate more energy than they consume or practically do not consume resources from external sources.

Legal conditions

In March 2010, the question arose about the need to form a special regime on the territory of Skolkovo. This discussion was also supported by D. Medvedev. At the end of April, he announced that the Government was instructed to develop special administrative, customs, tax and legal regimes in the territory. E. Nabiullina also took part in the discussion. She stated that she was asked to set the features legal status territories in a separate law. This normative act would introduce a number of features of Skolkovo. This:

Customs and tax incentives.
Simplified technical regulation and town planning procedures.
Special requirements for fire safety and sanitary regulations.
Facilitating interactions with power structures.

A. Dvorkovich, in turn, said that it is planned to introduce a ten-year vacation for deduction from profits, land and property taxes, and the rate on social contributions will be 14%.

Visa and migration regimes

In August 2010, the State Duma was actively discussing a draft law that would simplify accounting procedures for highly qualified specialists who arrived from abroad, as well as their relatives. Normative act should ensure the attraction of valuable personnel not only in Skolkovo. Vacancies for foreign citizens are accommodated by many large companies... In this regard, the bill is focused on attracting workers to Russia as a whole. At the end of August 2010, a government decree was published, according to which the visa regime for the subjects participating in the Skolkovo project was regulated. According to the provisions of the document, a highly qualified foreign specialist who enters the Russian Federation for employment will be issued a visa for 30 days. Upon hiring, it will be extended to three years.

Transport infrastructure

The accessibility of the facilities will be ensured through a dense network of streets and roads. In this case, information technologies will be used to ensure efficient management flows and infrastructure in general. Within the complex, priority is given to cyclists, pedestrians and public transport... The routes of suburban trains from Kievsky and Belorussky railway stations are planned. In addition, it is supposed to provide communication between the southern and northern parts of the science city. The Skolkovo center will also be linked to the Vnukovo airport. In addition, it was proposed to preserve the Ministry of Emergency Situations located on the territory. In mid-June 2010, I. Shuvalov and B. Gromov opened the reconstructed road from the 53rd km of the Moscow Ring Road to the village of Skolkovo.

Financing

Budget allocations for the development of Skolkovo until 2020 should amount, according to the project, 125.2 billion rubles. The corresponding order was signed on August 13, 2013. At least half of the costs of creating the Skolkovo complex are private investments. According to calculations, for each m2 of territory there will be more than 20 thousand rubles.

Features of financial policy

For the development of the project, the federal budget contains the corresponding articles: to promote activities to expand the infrastructure, the development of documentation for non-commercial facilities, scientific research. In early August 2010, the Ministry of Finance published key directions of financial policy. In accordance with them, from the federal budget it was planned in 2011 - 15 billion rubles, in 2012 - 22, in 2013 - 17.1 billion rubles. In 2010, about 4 billion rubles were allocated. Financial policy involves the placement of part of the funds in banks and transfer to trust management... The planned income from this is 58.85 million rubles. Funding for design and survey work was allocated 225 mln. rubles, for the development of a concept for the development of areas - 10 million rubles, Skolkovo residence"should cost 401.2 million rubles, including 143.8 million rubles to ensure the social protection of employees. PR support of the project should cost 38.7 million, advertising and placement of media products - 92.8 million, branding - 12.9 million, blogs and the web -site - 3.1 million rubles. Key group the expenditure was titled "Creation of an innovative atmosphere and pilot projects". It is planned to spend 3.4 billion rubles on them. Of this, about 2.6 billion was to go to projects agreed with the modernization commission under the president, and 287 million - to programs that the management company was supposed to choose directly from the Fund itself. For the creation of the "Complex of intellectual property, ensuring the work of patent attorneys, in accordance with 22 intergovernmental agreements in which Russia participates, it was planned 150 million rubles.

Management

V. Vekselberg acts as president and one of the co-chairs. The second person in the management apparatus is K. Barrett (former head of Intel). The Scientific Advisory Council is co-chaired by Zhores Alferov and prof. Structural Biology R. Kornberg. The head of the Board of Trustees is D. Medvedev.

Technopark

Its purpose is to provide the enterprises participating in the project necessary assistance for the effective development of their assets and corporate structure... For this, certain services are provided. Technopark works in the following areas:

Educational projects

One of the most promising and early projects is the Skolkovo business school. In addition, the Open University operates. It does not act as a traditional university, since graduates do not receive diplomas of higher education... It was established to form a reserve of graduate students and undergraduates for the future technological university and interns for partner enterprises. The directions in which training is carried out at OTUS coincide with the types of cluster activities: energy efficient and energy, computer and biomedical technologies, space, nuclear sphere.

Institute

In June 2011, V. Vekselberg and R. Rife signed an agreement on the establishment of a new university. Its working title is Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. The agreement is built on the principles of project education, involving cooperation through the exchange of modules within the MBA program. The Skolkovo Institute will be headed by E. Crowley - prof. As the founders plan, it will become the first international research facility capable of integrating business activities into educational program... The institute will be organized as a non-profit private educational institution. Its work will be overseen by an independent international board of trustees.

Clusters

The Skolkovo Foundation has five of them. They correspond to the same number of trends in technology development. The work of the cluster of biomedical technologies is to create drugs for the treatment and prevention of severe pathologies, including oncological and neurological ones. Great attention is devoted to the development of means to combat cardiovascular diseases, to maintain the immune system. Members of the cluster of computer and information technologies are working on the creation of multimedia search models, effective systems new generation security. The development of high-performance schemes for computing and storing information is underway. In the telecommunications and space technology cluster, participants create a commercial segment of the rocket and space industry sector. One of the priority areas is considered to be work in the field of energy technologies. As of mid-August 2014, 263 companies became members of the cluster. One of the key tasks of their activities is to reduce energy consumption by housing and communal services, industry, and municipal infrastructure. The nuclear technology cluster supports innovations in the use of laser, beam, nuclear, and plasma systems. As of mid-August 2014, 300 companies participated in the work. Ensuring radiation protection and safety is a priority. The participating companies are engaged in the development of new materials, equipment, coatings for non-destructive testing, new types of fuel. Resident enterprises are involved in the design of laser devices and medical equipment. The solution of problems associated with the processing of radioactive substances is also one of the most important points of the cluster's activities.

Innovation center near Moscow

The project of an innovation center in Skolkovo near Moscow, initiated by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in March 2010. In the same month, a fund was created, which was supposed to lead the process of implementing the project, and Viktor Vekselberg became its chairman. The start of construction of the project is scheduled for the first half of 2011.

The term Silicon Valley (or Silicon Valley) was coined in 1971 by entrepreneur Ralph Vaerst and journalist Don Hoefler to describe the geographic concentration of high-tech computing (and silicon semiconductor) businesses on northern California near San Francisco. From the 1960s to the 1990s, such large corporations as Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Google located their production and office space there,,,.

Other countries have also created analogues of the "Silicon Valley". Back in the 70s, high-tech manufacturing centers began to appear on the island of Kyushu in Japan. In the 1980s, the IDEON Science Park was established in Sweden, which over time has become the most powerful science and technology cluster in Europe. In the same decade, China also created its "Silicon Valley"; the Science Park in Beijing was named Zhongguancun. The high-tech park in Bangalore, India, has also gained fame, in which its representative offices are Sun Microsystems, Intel, Cisco, Google and Microsoft,. In 2004, the creation of a Belarusian high-tech park was also initiated by the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko.

Ideas for creating analogues of the "Silicon Valley" in Russia appeared back in the 1990s. As a location for technology parks and innovation centers in different time proposed Primorye, Moscow region Chernogolovka and Dubna, scientific center of Moscow State University in Moscow, Leningrad region and Siberia,,,,. By the mid-2000s, dozens of technoparks of various sizes existed in the regions of Russia, founded mainly around scientific, educational institutions and industrial enterprises. The idea of creating technoparks was also supported by President Vladimir Putin, after visiting Bangalore in 2004. On his initiative, funds were allocated from the federal budget (about 7 billion rubles from 2007 to 2010) for the creation of science parks associated with information technology... The allocated funds were used to create three technoparks: the West Siberian Innovation Center in the Tyumen Region, IT Park in Tatarstan and the Center for Technological Support innovative developments"in the Novosibirsk region. However, the press did not assess the results of this program very high,,,.

As one of the measures to attract investment in high-tech production in Russia, the state corporation Rusnano was established in July 2006, headed by Anatoly Chubais. Russian Presidents Vladimir Putin and then Dmitry Medvedev have repeatedly stated the need to develop a complex of innovative technologies in the country. In May 2009, Medvedev headed the Commission he created for the modernization and technological development of the Russian economy, which also included ONEXIM President Mikhail Prokhorov, Director of the Russian Venture Company Igor Agamirzyan, Director of the Kurchatov Institute Mikhail Kovalchuk, co-owner of DST Global Yuri Milner, as well as officials and heads of state corporations. In November of the same year, in his message to the Federal Assembly, the President proclaimed "the beginning of a new course aimed at overcoming the general backwardness of Russia through the same general modernization", in the words of analysts, "declared himself the president of modernization",,,. In December of the same year, the head of state formed a working group headed by Vladislav Surkov to create in the country "a territorially separate complex for the development of research and development and the commercialization of their results." As the head of the group in February 2010, Surkov gave an interview to the Vedomosti newspaper, where he spoke about plans to create an "innovation valley" or "innovation city" in Russia - a kind of national analogue of the "Silicon Valley". According to the press, this decision may have been influenced open letter Medvedev, writer-publicist Maxim Kalashnikov,. In the same period, it became known that the Rusnano corporation would be responsible for the organizational and technical support of the working group on the creation of the innovation center.

Obninsk, Tomsk, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg were considered as options for the location of the "innovation valley". Also, Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Arkady Dvorkovich stated that "Innograd" will not focus on computer technologies alone, the construction of the scientific infrastructure of the project will be financed from federal budget, and the rest, including commercial and social facilities, will be built on the principles of co-financing.

On March 18, 2010, Medvedev announced that a location in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region near the village of Skolkovo had been chosen as the construction site for the "innovation valley". This choice was favored by the fact that the Skolkovo Moscow School of Management had opened there shortly before. Construction of the school, whose board of trustees was headed by Medvedev, began in 2006. It was founded with the participation of TNK-BP, Severstal, Russian Standard, Credit Suisse, GUM Trading House, Itera, First Czech-Russian Bank, Troika Dialog and SUN Group. In addition to these companies, the Coordination Council also includes Leonid Mikhelson (NOVATEK), Alexander Abramov (Evraz) and Ruben Vardanyan (Troika Dialogue),,,,. A plot of complex configuration with a total area of 375 hectares was allocated for the construction of the "innograd", the government noted that it would not be necessary to redeem the site for the project, since the land under it belongs to the state: the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Nemchinovka Agricultural Research Institute. The latter could be closed due to the construction of Skolkovo. Medvedev called the "innovation city" project a prototype of the city of the future,,,.

On March 23, 2010, Medvedev announced that Viktor Vekselberg, Chairman of the Boards of Directors of the United Company Rusal and the Russian-American JV Renova, would head the coordination structure for the creation of the innovation city in Skolkovo. The structure was named "Development Fund of the Center for the Development and Commercialization of New Technologies" or simply the Skolkovo Fund,,,,,,. To manage the project, three advisory bodies were created: a board of trustees, an advisory scientific council and a foundation council, which operates on the principles of the board of directors of a large corporation and makes decisions by a majority vote.

The scientific advisory council of the project in April 2010 was chaired by Nobel laureates Zhores Alferov and Roger Kornberg,,,,. Medvedev himself became the chairman of the board of trustees of the fund, it also included ministers Andrei Fursenko, Elvira Nabiullina and Alexei Kudrin. Vekselberg and former Intel CEO Craig Barrett were appointed co-chairs of the Skolkovo Foundation board, while ordinary members of the board were such persons as Lukoil President Vagit Alekperov, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt and CEO " Rusnano "Anatoly Chubais.

In May 2010, the government commission finally decided on the transfer of 100 hectares of land to the Nemchinovka Research Institute to the project; it was expected that the project would receive the remaining 250 hectares belonging to the institute. In early June 2010, Vekselberg clarified the land use characteristics in the Skolkovo project. According to him, 60 percent of the territory was planned to be given for housing, 22 percent - for research and production areas, two percent - for the construction of a new university. According to him, the territory would be enough to accommodate 80 percent of the planned number of employees, or 11,620 people. At the same time, Vekselberg announced that the Skolkovo project needed about a hundred hectares of land on plots in the neighborhood, which belonged, in particular, to the structures of Roman Abramovich,,,,. The market value of a hectare of land in the Odintsovo District was estimated from $ 1.5 to $ 3 million, however, according to journalists, it was not possible to estimate the cost of the Skolkovo site.

According to Vekselberg's calculations, the cost of the first stage of construction of the innovation center in the spring of 2010 was 4.6 billion rubles, which should have been spent on design, organization of tenders and other preparatory activities. The total cost of Skolkovo was estimated by him at 50-60 billion rubles, and it was noted that this would be budget money, and only a small part of it would be contributed by investors. Vekselberg stated that the payback of the project will be achieved in 5-7 years, and he will be able to bring the first results even earlier. However, in October 2010, Vekselberg already said that the total cost of the project would increase to 180-200 billion rubles, half of which will go to the state budget.

To implement the project, it was proposed to create a special legal regime for the Skolkovo innovation city: not only provide the project with preferential taxation, but also create its own subdivisions on its territory law enforcement and social services... It was announced that there will be no municipal authorities in the innovation city, and the foundation will deal with all economic issues,,,. The project participants were exempted for 10 years from VAT (if the profit did not exceed a billion US dollars), income and property taxes. Also, the state was obliged to reimburse customs duties and import VAT. The leader of the Yabloko party, Sergei Mitrokhin, said that this order contradicts the constitution, but no one has sent inquiries to the Constitutional Court about the status of Skolkovo.

It was reported that Alfa Group, Lukoil, ONEXIM, Siemens, Cisco and Nokia showed interest in the project. Among the main scientific directions The projects mentioned in the law were:

energy efficiency and energy saving, including the development of innovative energy technologies;
nuclear technology;
space technologies, primarily in the field of telecommunications and navigation systems;
medical technologies in the development of equipment, medicines;
strategic Computer techologies and software.

In September 2010, a package of bills on the creation of an innovation city in Skolkovo was approved by the State Duma, the Federation Council and signed by Medvedev and came into force immediately after publication. V last reading the bill included a clause stating that all benefits until 2014 will be provided to project participants, even if they are not yet physically present on the territory of the center (later it was assumed that all of them should move to Skolkovo),.

In the same month, the Skolkovo Foundation began to select architectural and engineering projects for the innovation city. The Skolkovo Foundation received the first 4 million funds from the state budget in October 2010.

In October 2010, the Vostryakovo platform of the Kiev direction of the Moscow Railway was renamed Skolkovo, despite the fact that it was separated from Skolkovo by several kilometers of forest. In the summer of 2012, a plan was announced for the construction of the so-called "north-western expressway" - a highway that should connect the Skolkovskoye highway, next to which the Innograd was located, with the Yaroslavskoye highway. According to the plan, the 29-kilometer motorway should pass through several Moscow streets, which caused protests from Muscovites living along them. In July 2012, the Skolkovo Foundation signed an agreement with the Finmarket company, owned by the brothers Mikhail and Sait-Salam Gutseriev, on the construction of a transport hub in the innovation city. It was reported that the area of the transport hub will be about 30 thousand square meters, and Finmarket intends to invest $ 1 billion in it. According to RBC Daily, the Gutserievs undertook to finance the project, because a transport hub could be built on their territory.

According to Dvorkovich, the construction of the "innovation city" was to begin in the first half of 2011 and take one year. At the end of February 2011, the French company AREP won the Skolkovo architectural concept competition, and its project was supposed to form the basis for the planning of the future innovation center. However, some social groups demanded that this plan be corrected. In particular, in 2012, an act of state historical and cultural expertise was sent to the Ministry of Culture of the Moscow Region with a recommendation to preserve the Mamonovo estate on the territory of Skolkovo, which previously housed the Polet rest house. In August 2011, construction of an underground electrical substation of the same name began in Skolkovo, which became the first of its kind in Russia. Within the framework of the project, in particular, it was supposed to transfer seven overhead power lines with a voltage of 110-500 kilovolts underground, which would free up about 180 hectares for the construction of infrastructure facilities. At the beginning of August 2012, two manufactured Japanese company Toshiba gas-insulated transformer with a capacity of 63 megawatts. It was noted that these transformers were specially designed for use in underground electrical facilities and had not previously been used in Russia. At the same time, FGC UES was building another underground substation, Smirnovo, which was also supposed to provide the innograd with electricity. FGC UES investments in both power facilities amounted to about 16 billion rubles,,.

Some politicians, including the deputy of the State Duma Valery Zubov, directly stated that the entire Skolkovo project would be used exclusively for the profit of its organizers and would become a kind of “internal offshore”. The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Gennady Zyuganov, said that he doubted the feasibility of creating another science city when the existing ones do not receive funding. According to critics, the Skolkovo project, at best, will turn into an analogue of a research center in Indian Bangalore, which is "fenced in with barbed wire so that the poor peasants from the surrounding villages, who speak neither English, nor even Hindi, do not interfere" with creativity young people "from wealthy families, including re-emigrants from the USA, Australia, Canada and the UK", or even remain an analogue of the Malaysian Cyberjaya technopark, which, despite the government's efforts, was unable to attract high-tech companies and industries. Assessing the international experience and the ongoing research on the impact of technology parks, experts from University College London and the Eurasian National University noted that their creation did not bring any positive results.

The press also criticized the project for its proximity to Moscow: observers noted that it makes no sense to give 60 percent of the territory of the "innovation city" for housing, since there is already a well-developed urban infrastructure nearby. Observers also noted that, unlike Skolkovo, the value of land in the United States in Silicon Valley is relatively low, which attracted small but promising companies there.

In September 2010, after the news of the awarding of the Nobel Prize in physics to natives of Russia Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, they were invited to work at Skolkovo, but Geim said in an interview that he was not even going to return to his homeland "for a bag of gold." however, he gave an unflattering characterization of the project. He also advised the organizer of the project not to "lure big people from abroad", but to invest in young scientists,,.

As of mid-August 2012, Skolkovo included 583 companies. During the presentation of the symbolic mortgage brick to the company, which became its five hundredth resident, Vekselberg found it difficult to explain what it was doing, because, in his words, "it is very difficult and unrealistic to understand."
