Founded in 2010, Technopark Skolkovo is based on the outskirts of Moscow and forms part of the Skolkovo Foundation, whose overarching goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem of entrepreneurship and innovation, engendering a startup culture and encouraging venture capitalism.

The Skolkovo Foundation identified five key areas of potential growth: energy efficiency, strategic computer technologies, biomedicine, nuclear technologies and space technologies.

Technopark Skolkovo forms part of the Skolkovo Innovation Center, composed of companies and startups developing innovative technologies, and the Skolkovo Institute of Technology (Skoltech), a new graduate research University established in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Thirty multinational companies, including Boeing, Cisco Systems, EADS, GE, Johnson & Johnson, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Siemens, Nokia and Samsung have signed R&D partnership agreements with the Foundation.

Dozens of innovative projects developed by Skolkovo startups have already found success in international markets, in particular, equipment for the dynamic modelling of oil and gas fields, next-generation screen displays and laser systems for soft-tissue surgery.
