A Visit To Russia's "Silicon Valley", Skolkovo. by BedLam: 4:25pm On Sep 23, 2018 |
I don't know if this will fit here or the tech section but I'd like to think giving it a space on the front page will garner enough exposure. I stopped posting travel threads because of too much " Op please what is blah blah blah" but this is an exception. Let's ride! Skolkovo is a "self-style" Russian "Silicon Valley" with over 90k Square meters of space for start ups, labs and offices. Start ups here are exempted from paying tax for 10 years and no rule binding them to Russia after going international or if they want to move abroad. Russia's PM, Mendeleev is the one in charge of the project. Currently there is space as it has been filled up. Skolkovo has a school for Masters and PhD that is tuition free. It is called Skoltech and the language of instruction is English. 1 Like |

The goal is to have a tech city with Medical research centers, R& D centers, incubators, world tech companies and start ups. There is a high speed rail under construction that will connect to the center of Moscow as the Techpark is over 30KM from Moscow center. The University is under partnership from MIT and over 40% of the lecturers are from MIT.

This buliding is called "Hypercube". HYPERCUBE is the first building of the Skolkovo innovation center. HYPERCUBE is the architecture of a new generation, a building that exists not only in the dimension of space, but also in the dimension of time and communication. The building is programmed to respond to user requests. Flexile façade and interior space can be transformed in time. Concrete exo-frame allows to update the façade. Interior space can be easily transformed according to the function of the building. Initially open public building can change its function and become, for example, closed technology campus or an office blocks of resident companies. Just like International Space Station, HYPERCUBE is a physical area of innovation and experimentation in architecture, engineering, art and media. http://bernaskoni.com/projects/hypercubebuilding 1 Like

This warehouse machines are autonomous and the start up is already getting clients in Russia. You have to program it on what Item to lift or move and it will do the work, it stops when the item is finished. So it can't lift a bag of salt if carton of noodles is finished, you still have to program it.
