Skolkovo's Projects against COVID-19

The Skolkovo Foundation would like to contribute to fighting the novel virus and to make it easier for the companies to operate in this new reality introducing two important projects that are leveraging tech to deal with the pandemic:

1. The Online Business Missions

A remote conference that will bring together startups with relevant technologies and potential partners looking for innovative solutions in specific areas. It is a unique opportunity for international companies to reach the best tech solutions of Russian startups.

Some of the benefits of the online format are: Faster response to the technology requests;

Improved precision of matching partners;

Reduced costs;

Flexible format and timing.

The four-day event will connect a global network of startups, investors, representatives of state authorities and foreign partners to discuss the ways for cooperation and find tech-driven innovative solutions to ensure the persistence of business operations in the new reality. During this digital event startups and companies will present technologies for doing business remotely, tackling diseases and associated issues and enabling online edutainment for the period of isolation.

2. A compilation of Skolkovo innovative solutions, which counter the impact of the virus

The Skolkovo Foundation has put together brief descriptions of relevant projects that address the current pandemic. They cover healthcare, business and social solutions. If you would like to learn more about any of these projects or discuss their implementation, please let us know and we will arrange a virtual meeting with those startups.
