  1. RUSSIAN INNOVATION STRATEGY - 2020 MOSCOW, SEPTEMBER2011

  2. INNOVATION: RUSSIA AT THE CROSSROADS RUSSIA’S STRATEGIC GOALS INNOVATION-DRIVEN SOCIETY-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Increasing prosperity of Russian citizens • Securing Russia’s role as one of the global leaders STRUCTURAL WEAKNESSES of Russia’s innovation system exacerbated by the 2008-2009 global crisis GLOBAL CHALLENGES • RISKS: • loss of scientific and technological potential • loss of geopolitical standing • perpetuation of resource-dependent economy • slow economic growth 2

  3. INNOVATION POLICY IN THE 2000s • increasing the innovation activity of business • boosting the competition in order to stimulate innovation • making the R&D spending more efficient ACHIEVEMENTS STILL TO BE DONE • federal funding for fundamental and applied research increased • a national system of development institutions is being built • programs to boosts research at the leading universities • National Research Centers are being formed • создается инфраструктура поддержки инновационной деятельности • “innovation oasis” at Skolkovo is being built • innovation strategies for large SOEs Russia is having trouble realizing even the conservative scenario of the 2006-2015 Science and Innovation Strategy • KEY TASKS: • radically boosting the effectiveness and efficiency of innovation policy • focusing on priority goals innovation policy – a strategic priority 3

  4. RUSSIA’S INNOVATION SECTOR • one of Russia’s key competitive advantages • quality of education and educational institutions is falling • insufficient funding • the government itself is not an active innovator • unable to foster a climate for innovation Human capital Russian business Government • lowinnovation activity and readiness to absorb innovation • lowR&D expenditures • tends to rely on importing ready-made technologies • significant expenditures per researcher in absolute terms, high number of researchers • outstanding achievements of individual researchers • hundreds of units Innovation and R&D infrastructure Science • Russia is lagging behind in relative terms • Russia in general loosing her standing in global science • low efficiency, low effectiveness 4

  5. THE GOALS 2020: INNOVATION – KEY DRIVER OF ECONOMIC GROWTH IN RUSSIA BUILDING UP HUMAN CAPITAL RADICALLY INCREASING THE INNOVATION ACTIVITY OF BUSINESSES MAKING THE STATE MORE INNOVATIVE, CREATING A CLIMATE FOR INNOVATION • PRINCIPLES • The state focuses on compensating for the “market failures” • Technological priorities are designated jointly with business and science communities • Allocation of federal funding and evaluation of the results are as transparent as possible • Results are measured against global benchmarks • Competition in the research sector is encouraged BUILDING AN EFFICIENT, DINAMIC R&D SECTOR, COMMERCIALIZATION OF R&D RESULTS MAKING RUSSIA’S ECONOMY AND INNOVATION SYSTEM MORE OPEN, INTEGRATING RUSSIA INTO THE GLOBAL INNOVATION SYSTEM 5

  6. RUSSIA-2020: KEY INDICATORS 6

  7. Large-scale modernization of fundamental science and R&D sectors • Focus on potential break-through fields • Radical growth of demand of research and engineering personnel • Building a comprehensive innovation system • Reclaiming leadership in global science STRATEGICAL OPTIONS FOR RUSSIA Most attractive option Most investment-intensive option Highest risks Option 3. Leadership in the key technology and research fields • Technologies are mostly imported • No large-scale effort to promote innovation • Focus on macroeconomic stability • Low investment in science, innovation, and human capital High competition between numerous countries pursuing this strategy Slow growth of domestic technological potential Option 2. Catch-up development, build-up of domestic technological potential in a limited number of niches Option 1. Steady-state scenario Russia increasingly lags behind not only the West, but also the newly industrialized countries 7

  8. “MIXED” STRATEGY The state’s tasks: Designating priorities • Leadership in segments where Russia has competitive advantages • Catch-up development in the majority of industries and sectors • Rebuilding Russia’s capabilities in engineering and technology Optimal choice– MIXED STRATEGY Providing incentives for a large-scale modernization Investing in human capital 8

  9. INNOVATIVE CITIZEN • Fostering and expanding theINNOVATIVE CAPACITY OF RUSSIA’S CITIZENS • - arguably, as important as the sum total of all the other goals of the Strategy Modernizing education • Next-generation school curricula and standards • New generation of educators and education administrators, new infrastructure for teacher/professor training and retraining • Effective models of teacher/professor compensation and quality assessment • New model of financing education at all levels Teaching skills necessary for innovation-oriented entrepreneurship Supporting programs to involve schoolchildren and teenagers in innovation and research Fostering the culture of innovation, increasing the prestige of innovation activity and innovators in society • Media, non-fiction literature, web-based resources, next-generation science & technology museums 9

  10. INNOVATIVE BUSINESS Boosting the INNOVATION ACTIVITY OF RUSSIAN BUSINESS Creating favorable business environment for innovation • Fostering competition as a way of motivating companies to innovate • Improving regulation of individual markets and industries • Improving technical regulation • Stimulating commercialization of intellectual property that resulted from federal funding • Improving the tax regime for innovation • Improving the investment climate • Attracting highly skilled workers Providing stimulus for innovation • Innovation strategies for large state-owned corporations • Grants and subsidies for companies in the priority areas • Fiscal stimulus for corporate R&D and new equipment acquisition • Support for new high-tech enterprises, especially at the early stages 10

  13. RESEARCH FOR INNOVATION (2) Training, attracting, and retaining new generation of researchers and R&D managers Making federal research funding more efficient • Improving the competitive funding mechanisms in fundamental and applied research • Expanding the share of funding allocated through competitive mechanisms, introducing new grant formats and better methods of project evaluation • Reducing administrative burden in research, streamlining funding procedures Designating priority fields in science and technology • Designation of priority fields – key instrument of science policy Fostering the growth of private research sector 13
