The document discusses the development of Centers for Shared Facilities (CSFs) or Centers of Excellence (CoE) as key elements of the biomedical technology innovation ecosystem in Skolkovo. It proposes establishing 10 CSFs by 2014 to provide infrastructure, expertise, and services to residents and partners. In 2011, the focus will be on developing 3 initial CSFs, procuring equipment, and establishing educational programs to prepare for full operations by 2012-2013. CSFs will be self-sufficient sectors that can integrate into the future Skolkovo Technopark and University.

3. Association of the resident’s partners (biomedical and pharmaceutical clusters)

4. Business incubators

5. Venture Capital Funds

6. Strategic industrial investors

7. Institutional Partners

9. Centers for Shared Facilities (CSF), or Centers of Excellence (CoE)

11. Service Center of support of the Cluster residents (tax, legal, customs consultants)

12. University (educational programs)

13. International traineeship

14. Internships

15. International Conferences/Roadshows2

17. CSFs provide

18. Infrastructural ground for collaboration with key-partners

19. Integration of R&D, educational and commercialisation functions

20. Effective use of Skolkovo budget by preparation the Skolkovo infrastructure for 2014 in 2011. Effective use of the time required for the city construction. Training and preparation of qualified Skolkovo own professionals on Skolkovo own equipment

21. Realisation of strategy approved by the SAC and the Board of Trustees.

22. Collaborators worldwide and in Russia have been identified

23. Existing R&D centres,

24. Universities,

25. Institutes (RAS, RAMS, NIH, EU, Japan)

26. Most of big pharmaceutical and institutional investors (RVK, ROSNANO)expressed interest in CSFs

27. Opportunity to involve Russian Ministry of Health as a major customer from 2011

28. A big time gap (half a year) between purchase, delivery, and installation of equipment in Russia. To be able to use it Q1 2012 we need to order it now.

30. 21.05.2011 Confidential 5 Basic Principles of CSF (CoE) functioning. CSF research areas should be in the BMT foresights. CSF should provide services, research and educational programmes 1) 2) CSF should provide and maintain excellence in access to modern biomedical equipment, research infrastructure, highly qualified staff, and services on the world level Infrastructure facilities, the equipment and maintenance services of CSFs are to be 100% owned by the Skolkovo Foundation or/and its wholly owned subsidiary. 3) Project companies (residents of the Skolkovo Foundation) should have a first right to use CSFs services and competencies 4) Capital expenses for major consumables and equipment are covered by the Fund. Operational budget to be provided by residents companies and external customers. 5)

32. Existing infrastructure sites (departments of the universities, scientific research centers)

33. Project companies/residents of the Skolkovo Foundation

34. Needs and expectations of key partners (industrial biotech and pharmaceutical corporations), establishing of R&D centers

35. Existing partners of BMT Cluster

36. Survey of existing infrastructure in Russia for priority areas (foresights)

37. Arrangement of a public tender. Choosing the best place /key partner for CSF

38. Identification of strategic partners (co-investors) to establish for CSF

39. Creation up to 10 CSFs
