The selection of the 100 best projects for the fourth stream of the “Academy of Innovators” has been completed. Most of the ideas can become import-substituting solutions that will later be implemented in the city and business infrastructure. Applications were accepted from June 17 to September 15 on the project website.
“Moscow pays special attention to comprehensive support for aspiring technology entrepreneurs – the “Academy of Innovators” project was created in the capital specifically for this purpose, which was recently completely updated. Since the relaunch, interest in the program has increased significantly. 517 projects from 115 cities in Russia were submitted for the fourth stream. As a result, experts selected 100 best participants and teams who began implementing their ideas,” she said.
Kristina Kostroma, head of the capital’s Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development.
The most popular areas of the program were information technology, as well as innovations in education, medicine, e-commerce and creative industries. Among the applications for acceleration, the number of projects using cross-cutting technologies increased: artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual and augmented reality.
Not only Muscovites, but also residents of other Russian cities have shown interest in the program. In particular, the project is popular with aspiring entrepreneurs from St. Petersburg, Kazan, Perm and Samara. In addition, representatives of Armenia, Belarus, Nigeria and Kazakhstan have registered on the platform.
Participants who pass the selection will develop their ideas together with personal mentors. As part of the acceleration, they will have access to coworking in the Lomonosov cluster and training sessions in the field of innovation and business, as well as meetings with potential investors and customers.
Residents of the “Innovators Academy” will be offered to test the final product on city and business platforms. On the project platform, they have the opportunity to select requests from large corporations, refine the idea and bring it to the finished product with the support of personal mentors and experts from companies and the Moscow Innovation Agency.
