NTI and Technological Development
The development of technology, support of high-tech companies, creation of an enabling environment for start-ups, rapid introduction and commercialisation of new developments are essential factors for the creation of a competitive economy of the country.
To achieve this goal, RVC uses venture financing tools, organizes accelerating and educational programs, works with technology communities, contributes to the transformation of scientific and technology resources into start-ups and technology companies developing new technologies, products, and services.
The development of technology entrepreneurship is carried out by RVC in the context of megaprojects of the State innovation policy, such as National Technology Initiative (NTI), the Digital Economy program and, possibly, other future projects and programs, taking into account the directions and tasks of the Strategy of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation.
National Technology Initiative (NTI)
The National Technology Initiative (NTI) is a long-term comprehensive program creating conditions for ensuring the leadership of Russian companies in new high-tech markets that will determine the structure of the global economy in the next 15-20 years.
NTI includes a set of projects and programs aimed at integrating of Russia into the formation of standards for global markets for the future and the receipt by Russian companies in these markets of a significant share.
