Conference "ZATO - Area of State Interests", Sarov , 15-16 February 2011
From 15 to 16 February in Sarov there was held a second annual conference
"ZATO - Area of State Interests". On each of the two days Heads of Closed
Cities, representatives of the State Corporation ROSATOM and managers of
innovation companies assembled in Obyedineniye BINAR to discuss the most
relevant issues.
On the first day, 15 February, in BINAR there was held a
meeting of the working group on organization of an innovation cluster in
Sarov. All the participants noted a common problem which they will have to
solve properly and efficiently in the framework of the cluster - the lack of
qualified innovation managers and marketing specialists responsible for
promotion of innovation products.
On 16 February BINAR became a work
platform for discussion of innovation business development in Closed Cities.
At the meeting General Director of Systema Close Co. Igor Kapustin, Director
of GC Binar Co. Alexandr Korobko and General Director of Konsar Close Co.
Boris Pronevich gave presentations about activity of their companies.
The issue of financial support for hi-tech companies was a separate topic for
discussions. Managers of innovation enterprises from nearly all closed
cities noted that the CNCP Programme plays a special role in this issue. Due
to the funding provided by CNCP many companies were able to procure the
major part of equipment required, create jobs and continue their activity on
the whole. Unfortunately, there is no analogue of the CNCP Programme so far,
but the participants expressed a hope that the one would appear soon.
