Dear Sergey Mikhailovich! I have asked you a question in an online interview in Kommersant. It is really interesting to hear Your opinion.
“Creation of a competitive innovative economy requires a complex of solutions to form a favorable investment environment, develop business angel societies, investment funds, etc. And, what is really important, have systematic support from the entire investment infrastructure on a governmental level. How do you personally see realization of such broad and complicated problem in Russia?”
Best wishes,
Konstantin Y. Smolentsev

You know, I am sure that to do so it is necessary to implement a very simple idea into governmental politics. All regulation of economic activity should start from engagement in innovations, modernization and increasing competitiveness of manufacturing, which is much more profitable than exporting raw material and importing useless consumer goods. Concrete measures are easily deducted from this idea – under taxes, credits, legal regulation of the businesses’ activity, protection of property, etc. Here, in this blog, I try to touch on these topics almost in every entry. But the most important thing, I want to emphasize, is not in separate measures, but in unity, in those measures combined for favorable (profitable) economic climate for innovative development.

It is hard to object your opinion, Sergey Mikhailovich. Then there is another problem – how to carry all of that out? On February 15th, 2010 an interview was published in “Vedomosti” “Miracles are possible” with Vladislav Surkov, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the President of the Russian Federation, Vice-president of the Commission of Modernization. He ascertains that many initiatives in this sphere have failed. I see that myself as I work with companies in the direction of increasing their investment appeal and attraction of direct investments. Techparks are more often simply premises for tenancy …. Full profanation of an idea! Mr.Surkov says in the interview that “All over the world demand for innovations defines the state and large corporations”. And immediately ascertains that in Russia “They (corporations) are not customers, do not risk for the sake of creation of new technologies. There is customer that will say “I’ll take it!” No one wants the innovation. And the state cannot act as the universal customer… the state as a whole is not in a condition to even formulate a qualified order”. And makes a conclusion: “We need a new “German large village”,… “territorially isolated complex”? Realization of which would be “Almost handmade, unfortunately”. And that is with more than 100 million people and vast Russian spaces? What effect will it provide or even an impulse for the country as a whole?
What do you think about Mr.Surkov’s concept? Is it a draft of state policy in the sphere of creating competitive innovative economy in Russia?
Sincerely,
Konstantin Y. Smolentsev
