Analytical group of the “Business Quarter” has released its annual compilation of ratings, covering 22 key markets of the city, showing the largest companies’ position in the local market.
Innovative Technopark “Idea” is presented in the ranking in two segments.
The Company made the top three among the developers of office real estate, taking the second position. Each year the largest ongoing business centers of “A”, “B”, “B +” and BC class are involved in this segment ranking. The main index of the ranking – an actual leased area as on March 1, 2013. Additional indices - the number of tenants as on March 1, 2013.
According to General Director of Technopark “Idea” Sergey Yushko, the rental of office premises is not the main objective of Technopark. The “Idea” is different from any business center in that the small companies rent the office premises on a preferential basis, and they are provided with all the necessary facilities and services for the creation, development and even the sale of their business.
However, the rental income is one of the main sources of Technopark complex functioning and, in order to increase the Technopark attractiveness in residents’ eyes, it is important to maintain the reputation and image of Technopark at a proper high level. In addition, a great attention is paid to the Technopark’s technical and support services with a view to provide the residents with the most comfortable conditions at the site. The result of the real-estate development is the localization of 112 resident-companies at the site of Technopark, 8 of which – technological departments of major multinational companies.
“It is important that young innovative resident-companies of Technopark are optimal and competitive not only at the stage of incubation and growth within the walls of our infrastructure. Our graduates are adequately represented in many sectors of the economy in the open market”, - said Sergey Yushko.
Inclusion of two Technopark’s graduate-companies in the TOP-8 leading promoting companies in the “Business Quarter” rating was the proof of his statement. This fact is further evidence of the importance of the company’s survival criterion after a period of incubation in Technopark.
As the research organizers note, the Company turnover from the sites development and promotion in 2012 became the main ranking index in the web studios ranking. Additional indices - the number of websites launched by the Company in 2012, the total number of employees as on January 1, 2013, the Company’s aggregate turnover in 2012, and the number of customers in the Republic of Tatarstan in 2012.
Director of Technopark’s graduate-company “Reaspekt” Niaz Garaev has given his own forecasts of the industry in an interview with “Business Quarter”. According to him, the market continues to grow rapidly, justifying the most challenging forecasts, but the number of serious developers does not change and is currently less than 10 studios. “I think this situation will not last long, and several new big players will appear in the market in the coming year. Also, we think that a significant number of agencies will establish an effective telecommuting and will focus primarily on external market rather than internal Tatarstan market. The Internet market did not have and will not have boundaries, therefore it is destructive and short-sighted to be limited to local customers only for reasons of convenience”, - said Niaz Garaev.
