Today, Farida Gainullina, Head of the Department of Innovative Programs Development of Technopark “Idea”, has introduced the operators of scientific companies of the Military Innovative Technopolis “ERA” to the possibilities of the programs of the Foundation to Assistance of Innovation, in particular, the program “UMNIK”, and success stories of projects created with the grant support of the Foundation.
It should be reminded that the program “UMNIK” is aimed at supporting commercially-oriented scientific and technical projects of young researchers. Under this program, an innovative project can get funding of up to 500 thousand rubles for two years.
In 2019, operators of scientific companies of ERA will be selected projects and developments in the Technopolis this fall. It is expected that the final defense of the projects will take place in Kazan at the Technopark “Idea” in November of this year. Projects winners will be recommended to the Foundation for funding.
An important condition of the projects proposed for participation in the Program is that they must be from the civil sphere. Thus, the knowledge and competencies acquired by operators of scientific companies in the framework of work on projects in the field of defense industry will serve as the basis for innovative projects applicable outside the military industry.
For reference:
The Military Innovation Technopolis ERA is a platform for the development and implementation of breakthrough technologies in the defense sector.
Research is carried out in joint laboratories of the Technopolis under the guidance of scientists and designers in close cooperation with the operators of scientific companies of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the military-industrial complex and industrial partners in 8 priority areas: robotics, information security, energy supply technologies, IT systems, technical vision, computer science and computing equipment, biotechnical systems and technologies, nanotechnologies and nanomaterials.
