RVC — Development of an Innovation Ecosystem
Investment in venture capital markets in public-private partnerships is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the sustainable functioning of an innovation ecosystem. With regards to the aims and objectives of the strategy for innovation development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2020, RVC is also forming non-financial instruments.
The network of venture capital investors, the expert community, scientific research institutions, universities, accelerators, and other infrastructure organizations, are the foundation on which RVC’s program activity is built. Guiding principles within this activity are: the growth of competencies and the increased efficiency of cooperation with participants of the venture capital market, the popularization of technological enterprise, support for regional infrastructure, and also assisting the globalization of the Russian innovation industry.
Ten years of experience in the development of Russia’s venture industry and supporting technological enterprise has strengthened RVC’s role as a center of expertise. This facilitates the formation of effective cooperation between the individual elements of the innovation ecosystem, by promoting best industry practices, optimizing, integrating and scaling-up mechanisms accessible on the market, and also by supporting the emergence of new support instruments for high-tech business.
The foundation of the company’s unique position as a center of expertise is the development and market launch of integrated products for federal executive bodies, subjects of the Russian Federation, higher educational establishments and science centers, and corporations and enterprises. This enables the formation of effective innovative ecosystems in the interests of key stakeholders.
In the implementation of the NTI, there is a special significance for the development of an innovation infrastructure. With this aim in mind, RVC organizes and supports projects and events aimed at improving the mechanisms for the security and protection of intellectual property, and supports the creation of systems for industry standards, legislation for new markets, scientific infrastructure and the development of competencies.
