Russia (bbabo.net), - In the Samara region, an ecosystem has been created and is successfully developing to support innovative and high-tech projects. The flagship platform in this area is the Zhigulevskaya Dolina technology park, a unique environment for the development of innovative entrepreneurship.
Today, 273 innovative companies that implement 285 projects are residents of the site. The total number of jobs created by the technopark residents increased by 7.6% last year and amounted to 2,180.
The revenue of innovative companies is also growing: in 2021, its total volume increased by 3.4% and amounted to 10.8 billion rubles.
At the end of 2021, resident companies paid more than one and a half billion rubles to the regional budget in the form of tax and customs payments, which is 17.6% more than in 2020.
Creating conditions for the development of innovative entrepreneurship is one of the tasks of the leadership strategy, created on the initiative of Governor Dmitry Azarov together with the inhabitants of the region.
For innovators, the technopark becomes a platform for networking, establishing and developing business relations between residents, business support institutions, financial institutions, enterprises and corporations - potential customers and partners, expert and industry communities, authorities, scientific and educational institutions.
- All innovative companies with the status of a Zhiguli Valley resident receive comprehensive support aimed at the rapid development and launch of their development on the market. This is accommodation in modern office, laboratory, industrial premises on special conditions; assistance in attracting funding, assistance in holding events, registration of intellectual property objects; information support. Last year, companies developing their business in our ecosystem received more than 1,300 various support measures for free, - said Dmitry Bogdanov, Minister of Economic Development and Investments of the Samara Region. - "Zhigulevskaya Dolina" is one of the largest technoparks in the field of high technologies and over the past three years in the National rating of technoparks of the country has been included in the group with the highest level of operational efficiency.
Each resident is assigned a personal project manager who will help determine the support measures necessary for the qualitative "take-off" of an innovative project.
Under the management of the "Center for Innovative Development and Cluster Initiatives" (GAU "CEC SO"), a group of "points of growth" has been formed in the ecosystem of the "Zhigulevskaya Valley", supporting the innovation process: the children's technopark "Kvantorium-63", a business incubator, a technopark, a unique Regional Engineering Center, an IT innovation platform that accumulates innovations, investments and support measures for the region on one Internet platform.
Zhigulevskaya Dolina is a regional operator of the Skolkovo Fund and a representative office of the Innovation Promotion Fund, a partner of the Innovation Fund of the Samara Region and JSC Russian Railways. This expands opportunities for residents and entrepreneurs of the region, and also allows for the accelerated growth of projects at all stages of development: from an idea to the production of a pilot model and the creation of a full-fledged production. Also, the Samara Region Investment Promotion Agency provides comprehensive support to business in the "one window" mode.
