Dear friends,
I’m delighted to present the latest compilation
of success stories by Skolkovo resident compa-
nies. Choosing the most interesting and out-
standing products and solutions was no easy
task: Skolkovo now has more than 1,800 start-
ups in its orbit, and each and every one of them
has their own dynamic business story. Together,
they form a chronicle of Skolkovo innovations.
Our resident companies are becoming more
and more visible at a global level: more than 250
of our startups are present with their products on
international markets, while hundreds actively
work with foreign experts and the investment
community, and have won prestigious interna-
tional awards.
It’s particularly gratifying to note that we can
justly talk with increasing frequency about
Skolkovo projects in superlatives: the first treat-
ment in the world, the top three leaders, a tech-
nology that has no analogue… Skolkovo
inventions are firmly in the realm of cutting-edge
technologies, straddling the line between the
present and future, and market niches that still
seemed like fantasy just a few years ago are
today growing at an unbelievable pace. Experts
highly rate the potential capitalization of Skol-
kovo companies in these areas.
I hope you will enjoy learning about what our
startups do, and that this information will prove
useful. Next year, this catalogue will feature in its
pages a whole host of new breakthroughs that
are not yet known to anyone: at the Skolkovo in-
novation centre, discoveries are made every
day.
SKOLKOVO NOW HAS MORE THAN
1,800 STARTUPS IN ITS ORBIT, AND
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS
THEIR OWN DYNAMIC BUSINESS STOR
Igor Drozdov
Chairman of the Board of Skolkovo Foundation
