Special Economic Zones in
Russia
What can they offer
internationally and how to
start?
Prologue & Objectives
• "Russia's innovation potential is potentially greater than
that of most other countries at comparable levels of
GDP per capita thanks to substantial science base and a
well developed education system in science and
technology.
• Yet indicators of actual innovation activity remain low.
There is striking imbalance between the public sources
devoted to knowledge creation and the observed
outputs in terms of innovation.
• Closing this gap constitutes one of the major challenges
for Russian innovation policy.
The key to success is in deep Revision of Economical
regulation, creating healthy business environment
