Skolkovo goes into the "clouds"

 Approved the first investment project, which will be implemented in Skolkovo. He became a business incubator in the "cloud" of programming. According to presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich, the Bureau of the Commission on the eve of modernization considered 4 potential investment projects for implementation in the innovation center in Skolkovo.
 
A total of more than 50 applications. "Practically approved only one - a project of Almaz Capital to establish a business incubator in the" cloud "of programming. SkolokovoThe initiator of the project has strong ideas about how to make it innovative.Independent experts have convinced us of his promise, "- said A. Dvorkovich.
 
The project involves the development of "cloud" computing - technologies which allow to complex mathematical operations at the facilities of tens and hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide via the Internet. The plan also foresees the development of computer speech recognition and transmission technologies, 3D-images over the Internet.
 
This project is being implemented in Singapore. Even in 2001, IBM announced the opening of the new laboratory cloud of programming, which will help businesses, governments and research institutes to learn how to design and benefit from cloud technology. Such laboratories already exist in Hong Kong, Ireland, Vietnam, China, South Africa, Japan, Brazil, India and the U.S..
 
At the project developers expect to receive 30-35 million dollars, half of whom would like to receive from the state, half - from stock Almaz Seed. According to experts, in the "cloud" technologies in the West are already much experience, to the same budget $ 30 million - too small for the quality of the project in all three areas. It is therefore more reasonable to use existing design and adapt them to the Skolkovo the requirements of Russian consumers.
 
Medu so doubtful 50%-ing state participation in the venture project. Experts say it is - nonsense. If the incubator is created for gosnuzhd, then the state should fund the project if we are talking about business innovation, the state should support the developers not the money, and tax and customs benefits, as well as the liberalization of the law.
True, some now say that Skolkovo can turn into its own offshore zone. In the program: the abolition of almost all taxes, import of goods without customs duties, own Interior Ministry, FMS, MES, Federal Service and the Federal Tax Service with the subordination directly by the federal authorities. The distribution of land, urban development, spatial planning will address the State Fund Skolkovo. And most importantly - the entrance is strictly by invitation, in charge of selecting the scientist-businessman, Mr. Vekselberg.
 
"And yet the idea of standing", - said editor in chief of The Week "Ilya Grashchenkov -" Customs import of various scientific equipment costing a fortune and institutions takes time. Some scientists, researchers from the year waiting for the necessary enzymes. From this period, approximately 1 month they were sitting at the customs. And so - maybe something good will ".
 
"What is the list of laws need to change to the functioning of Skolkovo possible?" - Questioned the chief editor of Nezavisimaya Gazeta Remchukov, - "to Skolkovo become successful, we show that the rest of the country can not exist because . Therefore, it is again a matter of choice model.We want to make the investment regime and the climate for the whole country such as in Skolkovo.Is this possible or impossible? And if this is not possible and is described by a list of those statutes, which must be changed to Skolkovo, we understand that the whole country then turns ghetto in the giant-sized one-seventh of the land. "
 
In the West, already has much experience in the field of "cloud" technologies, to create Russia's decision to scratch economically impractical, experts say. Katsyv GromovIn their opinion, too small and the volume of investment: in the Russian project is planned to invest $ 30 million, and investments by IBM or HP in such decisions are billions of dollars. Experts believe a more prudent use of existing design and adapt them to Skolkovo the requirements of Russian consumers, as a basis to take open-source software that will make Almaz Capital investment project attractive to developers.
 
Recall that recently opened in the Moscow region government Skolkovo first infrastructure project - Skolkovskoje highway . Meanwhile, critics of the arrangement of the Silicon Valley in the near suburbs can not understand why it should be built in the Odintsovo district, one of the most prestigious areas of Moscow region, which was built by the same name business school, and had to move the New Economic School, and not a in Zelenograd, where the Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology, Institute of Design in Microelectronics, Institute for Physical Problems, factories Angstrom and Micron. That is, Silicon Valley - it's not about microelectronics, but about effective management. It turns out.
