The key agenda of the Ecosystem of Innovation forum in 2017 was to summarize the outgoing year and identify the most relevant industry trends. More than 250 experts and investors invited by RVC to the dialogue have formed their vision of the strategy of the venture market, which will be sent to the Ministry of Economic Development.

The main trend, which is associated with the expectations of all forum participants, is the involvement of corporations in the venture capital industry. Among other important trends, there was an increase in interest in working in international markets, an increase in expectations for attracting funds from institutional investors. Among the main problems are the lack of quality projects and regulatory imbalances.

The goals, objectives and directions of the implementation of the development strategy of the venture market were identified by Oleg Fomichev, State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, in the framework of the plenary session of the forum. The goals of the strategy are to ensure the availability of venture capital financing and develop venture support tools. The strategy will include three directions - the formation of sustainable institutions of the venture market, the expansion of the supply of venture capital, and the development of technological entrepreneurship.

Tasks of the 2017 Ecosystem of Innovation forum tracks:

Track "Projects and Technologies":

Discussion of ways to ensure an adequate flow of high-quality technological projects for the Russian venture ecosystem in 2018-2020. View of the supplier and consumer of the projects.

Forum "Ecosystem of Innovation: Universities and Scientific Organizations - 2016"

On April 21-22, 2016, the Ecosystem of Innovation: Universities and Scientific Centers forum was organized by RVC in partnership with NUST MISiS and the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.

The forum addressed such key issues:

  • The role of the university and scientific organization in the innovation ecosystem of the country;
  • Which universities and research organizations in Russia have the potential for transformation in entrepreneurship;
  • How innovative activities of universities and scientific organizations affect their competitiveness.

Representatives of the Government of the Russian Federation, LNA Skolkovo, FANO of Russia, TSSR, OJSC RVK, the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, NITU MISiS, OJSC RVK were invited as speakers. Among the participants were leading universities of the country: Moscow State University, ITMO, TSU, TUSUR, SkolTech, FEFU, Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov, NSU and many others.

The training center took an active part in the Forum, as well as in other events for state educational institutions in the Russian Federation. This is due to the fact that a separate area of \u200b\u200bwork of the InfoTeKS Training Center is cooperation with state educational institutions, therefore, the tasks of the forum to promote the development of modern innovative ecosystems at universities and scientific organizations of the Russian Federation, as well as the development of interaction competencies, are very relevant and deserve close attention to improve cooperation programs.

Summing up, we can say that in recent decades the role of universities and scientific organizations is changing. The familiar functions (educational and scientific) are complemented by the entrepreneurial function. Such universities and research organizations (the so-called Universities 3.0) are becoming key actors in national and regional innovation ecosystems, as well as leaders and centers for the creation of new technology industries.
