Justification for innovation policies in Russia
The 2008 crisis highlighted the weaknesses of the Russian economy
- Lack of national production in many industries
- Large companies too focused on energy and raw materials
- Lack of small and medium size companies : little entrepreneurial culture.
- Insuficience of the financial system.
- No valorisation of the scientific potential.
. Issue at a national level – technological capability - as well as at a regional level – diversification.
Need to invent new tools for development ( “Modernisation”)
The Russian paradox : high R and D, low innovation

Researchers Per thousand employed, full-time equivalent
After a sharp decrese the number of searchers stabilzed to 450 000, one of the highest i n the world in absolute terms

R and D below OECD average
Gross domestic expenditure on R&D, as a percentage of GDP
Good technology level does not result in concrete innovation
Number of patents per million inhabitants , 2007
24th rank worldwide in absolute terms

Challenges
•For the Russian government, the modernisation project has two major components :
• a) Promotion of innovation and of technology breakthrough at the national level.
•b) Importation of technologies and equipemetns need to support the real economy.
Justification for innovation policies in Russia
How to to it
. New concept = mix between clusters, technoparks, special economic zones, Skolkovo…
. Contradictory influences
. Fiscal policies vs pro-active policies
. Central policy vs policy at the regions’ level
Justification for innovation policies in Russia
The current status : many initiatives
. SEZ
. Clusters
. Technoparks
. Skolkovo
