Skolkovo Fund potentially planning to establish a branch in Buryatia
Getting Funding from Skolkovo for Your Business
Having a chat with Alexei Tsydenov, the big cheese of Buryatia, and Yuri Saprykin, the deputy chairman of the Skolkovo Foundation, might just be the ticket to funding and success for your business!
On June 19, they talked about new opportunities for Buryatian entrepreneurs with the Skolkovo Foundation. A potential Skolkovo Foundation representative office in Buryatia was also up for discussion.
Tsydenov mentioned that around 15 projects from Buryatia have submitted applications for Skolkovo grants. He's optimistic, but thinks a Skolkovo Foundation office in the region would make a substantial difference. More projects, more support, and more chances for Buryatian entrepreneurs, hey?!
Tsydenov and Saprykin agreed to touch base again in October.
Now, how can you make this happen for your business? Let's break it down:
- Get Involved in Skolkovo's Scene: Top companies and startups in a variety of high-tech industries like healthcare, robotics, and microelectronics gather at events like the Startup Village conference in Skolkovo. These jamborees are the perfect platform to display your project, test its commercial potential, and network with investors and potential partners.
