The Russian Union of Innovation and Technology Centers (RUITC) aims to support the development of innovation and technology centers (ITCs) in Russia. There are currently 27 ITCs that are members of RUITC. RUITC works to improve cooperation between ITCs and small-to-medium enterprises, develop new financing mechanisms for innovative projects, and integrate Russian ITCs into international innovation networks. Notable projects include the Gate2RuBIN project providing support for international business cooperation and the participation of RUITC in the World Alliance of Innovation and International Association of Science Parks.

15. PROPOSAL ON SUPPORT MEASURES FROM
MINISTRY OF ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT
Target: provision of investment attractiveness and competitive positioning of
ITC to develop regional innovation infrastructure
Challenge: absence of sufficient "long" working capital for the construction of
premises and outfitting with a modern research and production equipment
Support measures:
- subsidizing of the interest rate on loans to the construction of ITCs’
infrastructure,
- development of the program to create centers of collective use in ITC.
