National Technology Initiative

    The  Russian venture company (RVC), together with the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) and the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises in science and technology were co-organisers of the Foresight Fleet taking place on the Volga River from May 12 to May 16, 2015. It  focused on development of road maps of the National Technology Initiative (NTI).
     NTI is a program of measures to build fundamentally new markets and create the conditions for global technological leadership of Russia by 2035.

Foresight Fleet is held annually in the form of communication between developers of innovative projects, development institutions, representatives of the executive branch, experts in education, researchers, technology entrepreneurs, and business representatives. The purpose of the Foresight Fleet is to co-design road maps for sectoral and territorial development, form the talent pool for the state government and the real economy, and develop competencies of strategic vision in the business environment. The Foresight Fleet agenda is determined by strategic priorities set by top officials of the state, professional communities and associations.
     More than 700 participants were involved in development of the NTI at Foresight Fleet 2015.
     NTI will include system solutions for identification of key technologies, necessary changes in rules and regulations, operating measures of financial and human resource development, and motivation mechanisms to involve carriers of necessary competencies. The selection will be carried out taking into account the major global development trends based on the priority of network technology centred on a man as the final consumer.

     The NTI model will be presented to the President of the Russian Federation in July 2015.
