In late April Skolkovo, the international tech hub under completion on the outskirts of Moscow, welcomed a large delegation from the Belgian city of Antwerp. The delegation comprised about 100 representatives of Antwerp businesses, the city administration and the University of Antwerp, and was headed by Antwerp Mayor Bart De Wever.
As a city that is positioning itself as a forward-looking innovation hub, Antwerp’s government and business people were very interested in visiting the Russian innovations capital, said Guido Muelenaer, manager of strategy and innovation for the city of Antwerp.
The two sides established areas of cooperation and one Skolkovo startup won the chance to launch pilot projects at Antwerp companies.
CPS Lab, which creates automated solutions for companies that enable them to monitor and increase the efficiency of employees’ work, was one of four Skolkovo startups that pitched its product to the Antwerp representatives. The company was chosen by the Belgian side to go to Antwerp for a month this autumn at the city’s expense and implement pilot projects in several major regional companies.
