Russky Technopark opens in Russia’s Far East as home port for innovations

A new technopark opened its doors in Russia’s Far East port of Vladivostok on Wednesday, with the aim of fostering tech entrepreneurship and startups there with support from the Skolkovo Foundation.

The technopark was opened on Russky Island on the first day of the Eastern Economic Forum, which is taking place on the island on September 6-7. Russky Technopark will operate from the premises of the Far Eastern Federal University with the mission of helping to create a fertile environment for the development of hi-tech and knowledge-intensive industries, and is part of a broader government initiative to turn Russia’s Far East into a science, technology and education hub.
