• National Technology Revolution 20.35: Universities as Driving Force of Change

They create new businesses and jobs in the innovation sector by launching their intellectual property on the market. They also contribute to the development of urban fringes. According to the participants of a roundtable taking place as part of the third BarCamp ‘National Technology Revolution 20.35’, which has recently been held in St. Petersburg’s ‘Tochka Kipeniya’ coworking space, a modern university should adopt the paradigm of ‘changing itself, its environment, and then, people’.

• TechNet: New Opportunities for Innovative Startups

  In future, all companies will share the same manufacturing processes and technologies and use similar equipment and materials. This is why it will be the intellectual component of their product that will provide most of the competitive advantage, as it is something that can't easily be copied. The ability to adapt a product to the rapidly changing market will be essential, as well. Production chain will change, too: major companies will make use of services provided by small innovative businesses by outsourcing particular tasks; products and technological processes will have "digital doubles", and robotization will extrude the human factor. The TechNet workgroup will be developing such an ecosystem as part of the National Technology Initiative; as of now, it offers different startups an opportunity to contribute to its development and get governmental support via the special TechNet program of the GenerationS accelerator.
