No one believe

The idea of ​​creating a consortium of Russian high-tech industrial park of private companies established in 2003 and remains to this day. Everyone has seen the effectiveness of parks in the Chinese Shen-wife, Bangalore, India, European clusters. After Vladimir Putin's visit to Bangalore had adopted a resolution defining the principles of open local parks. Former Communications Minister Leonid Reiman spoke often about the need to establish such zones, the subject discussed officials at all levels. At the time, just as now, Dmitrovsky District, Moscow Region, Valery Gavrilov supervised, which actively supports the ideas that promise the development of the area. He was particularly attracted to projects to create new jobs without opening the harmful production. We had something to offer each other and with the assistance of the Communications Ministry, we started the project. As a result, "Lanit" bought at the market price a large plot of land in the Dmitrovsky district of Defense, 27 kilometers from Moscow. Proximity to Moscow was the fundamental condition, because the planned relocation of staff, the Muscovites. The town had to live 20-30 thousand people. Generally, creating any industrial park, it is necessary first of all think about who will work there than at the level of residents - legal entities, and at the level of employees. For example, in Technopark "Dubna" with the help of state managed to build a good infrastructure for business. But the industrial park can not be called a success - the number of residents is growing very slowly. The fact that Dubna is situated too far from Moscow, to go there every day, and experts in the field of information technology is not enough in almost all regions, and the mass relocation in Dubna expect difficult. Therefore expects to be moved staff housing, build schools and kindergartens, medical center and so on. Muscovites could actually live and work in the country, paying for housing in the industrial park of the funds received from the rental or sale of their Moscow apartment. And Moscow still would have remained within the limits of affordability. It was planned to attract developers, who were engaged in the sale and rental housing in the industrial park. The concept includes all aspects of life: "Live, work, study, rest!". Looking at the Microsoft campus in Seattle, I was convinced that this approach improves the productivity of at least 1.5 times. In the industrial park should accommodate several companies, not just "Lanit." This would allow people to change their place of work, communicate and develop. Negotiations began with leading universities to their students learn and practice in Technopark. The fact that 75% of students continue to work where their practice, and the company would receive a constant flow of fresh personnel. Start. Negotiations began, the search for co-investors, and we are immediately faced with difficulties. First, it appears that we are the only one who tries to build a technology park on private land. And all the standards developed under the state land. So we immediately found themselves in a particularly disadvantageous position. However, and for parks to goszemle law did not very much. Technopark individual regions were lucky with the financing. For example, in Tatarstan and Novosibirsk have managed to build roads, housing thanks to the huge infusions of federal and regional budgets. We too have been promised help from the government, because the sum of the road, electricity, gas, sewerage, building schools, clinics, open a bank branch and the police department on their own can not. In addition, when selecting a place like the proximity to the airport. And in 2007, planned to complete the construction of high-speed backup of the Leningrad highway. But until now, to get to Moscow from Rogachev highway only in some small time intervals. Promises of wonderful things to not happen. Errors. The idea of ​​industrial parks is still valid, but we made a mistake. First articulated by infrastructure gosproekty were not included in any plan. We simply believe officials at his word. In addition, we calculated the benefits, the need for which had already become evident. As a result, the first law providing considerable assistance to innovative companies, appeared in November 2010 - about residents' Skolkovo. " On the other hand, "Skolkovo" focuses on breakthrough technologies. That is, a company developing a new program let, but to solve standard problems, can not become a resident of the area. I am glad that at least "Skolkovo" live to see this support. Now, most importantly, to the history of this project is not stretched to ten years.
