The initiative was discussed at the ‘Strong Ideas for New Times’ forum of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, and TVBrics is ready to offer its outreach platforms for it, Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology Endowment Fund director Andrei Shket said.

The fund representative noted that this mechanism is ready to create a network of centers for the development of advanced skills based on Russian technologies in other countries.

‘These centers can become a kind of point of attraction for talented young people and ambitious technological teams.

And there they will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the achievements of Russian companies, our business culture and our technological solutions,’ Shket stressed.

He added that in creating the platform the specialists strive to draw on the experience of their colleagues.

‘We would like to draw on the experience of other colleagues: this is the Agency for the Development of Professions and Skills for Effective Training of Specialists, this is the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, which in a few years has deployed a huge network, he specified.

In fact, in addition to these partners and their competencies they are supported by business representatives: Rossotrudnichestvo and TVBrics are ready to offer us their wide network of media resources for use,’ he said. The director of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology Endowment Fund also asked the president to support the project.

In this case, according to Shket, it will be possible to expand the initiative to a large number of Eurasian Economic Union and Brics plus countries.

The Forum ‘Strong Ideas for New Times’ is held annually and is aimed at supporting and implementing socially significant initiatives and projects of citizens, selecting ideas to form the country’s development strategy.
