DEAR FRIENDS,

We are glad to present you a public Annual Report of the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs, the only development institution in Russia that creates an infrastructure for nanotechnological and other related high-tech sectors of the economy.

15 nanotechnology centres — “nodes” of the first venture construction network in Russia — are currently operating in 11 regions of Russia. The nanocentres have created more than 550 start-ups in the most diverse technological areas: nanoelectronics, photonics, robotics, additive technologies, composite materials, development of complex medical equipment and new energy. We have created the service engineering companies which are engaged in contract manufacturing. The total revenue of the nanocentre network reached 6 billion rubles by 2016.

The infrastructure can successfully work and develop only under the favourable “external” conditions which include the advanced standards, removal of the regulatory barriers and inflow of qualified personnel. Therefore, the Fund implements a number of ecosystem projects aimed to solve these tasks.

These include projects for training of qualified experts who are in demand in the new industry sector. 147 programs of supplementary professional education were implemented by 2016 with support of the leading universities of Russia. More than 53 thousand people studied under these programs. More than 800 schools from 73 regions of Russia participate in projects of RUSNANO’s School league, which helps involving children into the world of science and new technologies.

statement of the chief Executive officer

statement of the chief executive officer

The governmental policy aimed at creating more favourable investment and regulatory environment is important for the effective development and implementation of innovations. The Fund contributes to implementation of the governmental innovative policy and participates in improvement of the national legislation. Experts of the Fund together with the expert community are preparing proposals for improvement of the Russian legislation in the areas of taxation, intellectual property, small and medium-sized business and other issues related to the innovative industry sector.

Production and use of nano-enabled goods is impossible without certain standards, certificates, authorisations for the market entry and metrological methods. 197 national standards for nano-enabled goods were developed with the Fund’s participation and 456 safety and compliance documents were issued by 2016. Special attention is paid to the environmental aspects — the Fund’s experts are working on “green” standards. In 2016, they presented a Book of “Green” Nanotechnology.

The Fund contributes to promotion of new technologies at the market for development of the nanoindustry. It is not always that simple, as it is necessary to overcome natural conservatism and to convince people that nano-enabled goods have material advantages. Due to the agreements with regions and big corporations, innovative supplies and equipment prove their effectiveness and find a way to consumers while being examined and tested.

The new phase of the Fund’s life has begun since 2016. We’ve developed and adopted a new strategy stipulating transition to an entirely new model called

“conveyor of innovations”. This includes mass creation of start-ups and infrastructure in such a way that basic competences of one start-up are used as a technological outsourcing for other start-ups in process of creating the final product.

Our work for development of the nanoindustry will let us create a lot of competitive and high-tech facilities in Russia thus providing for dynamic development of our country.

Best regards, Andrey Svinarenko

CEO of the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs


statement of the Executive chairman

DEAR FRIENDS,

The Russian nanoindustry celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2017. For us, the main result of the past decade is the fact that the new sector of economy has been built in Russia almost from nil. The Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs is an integral element of the sector, and it provided a whole range of achievements in the framework of RUSNANO Group.

Six technological clusters were created and the base for another five ones was established in the country by RUSNANO Group. 87 new production plants were put into operation in Russia. The revenue of the companies in this industry sector has already surpassed one trillion — as for 2016, the production volume of goods, works and services exceeded 1.5 trillion rubles.

Meanwhile, throughout this period we had a clear understanding that financing promising developments, building production capacities and launching product manufacturing is necessary, but not enough to create a new industry sector.

A large number of infrastructure tasks will be solved in the country in parallel with the construction of production plants. These include establishing a network of infrastructure centres which create start-ups in high-tech nanoindustry sectors on a massive scale; setting a modern personnel training system, stimulating demand for products, creating new standards, performing nanoindustry product quality and safety examinations, interacting with state, business, scientific companies and professional community to develop the whole Russian innovative industry sector. Solving these tasks is exactly what the Fund is busy with, as its area of influence includes the nanoindustry in general and related high-tech sectors of economy.

statement of the executive chairman

Today, the Fund has already established itself as a Russian innovative development institute, which concentrates activities of technological entrepreneurs, the scientific and academic community, engineering companies, and the whole inventing community around it. The Fund reveals the most promising technological directions and launches projects in these areas with one of the examples being the Russian Flexible Electronics Centre.

In addition to that, the Fund sets the objective to achieve the transfer of the created infrastructure, and later the whole Fund to self-financing principles by means of switching to targeted creating, development and further sale of start-ups using the “conveyor of innovations” model. No one in Russia has achieved such objective yet.

Together with other nanoindustry companies, we set an ambitious goal to make Russia one of the global technological leaders. Reaching this goal is possible only by a tremendous job, which the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs is doing.

Best regards,Anatoly Chubais

1.2. Review of the Nanotechnology Industry Sector

World nAnotEchnology mArKEtIn the 21st century nanotechnologies became one of the most popular directions of science and technology in the world. More than 60 developed and developing countries implemented their own national nanotechnological programs.

Achievements in the field of nanotechnology and their practical application allow us to solve many serious problems in various branches of the manufacturing industry, science and technology sectors.

Wide opportunities provided by the nanoindustry also form a growing demand for its products. Constantly increasing volume of investments made by both private investors and on account of the state budgets confirms this trend. Based on the results of 2016, the leaders in terms of state investments into the industry sector were the world’s highly developed countries — the USA, Japan, South Korea and Germany. At the same time, costs for development of the nanoindustry market definitely pay off with the growing demand for its products and increasing profitability.

According to the data of the Lux Research, the revenue outlook from sales of nanoindustry products in the world amounts to 3,790 billion USD (3,147 billion USD in 2015) for 2016. It is expected, that during the period up to 2020 the world’s nanoindustry market will continue to grow at an average annual rate of CAGR=15 percent and will exceed 6 trillion USD in 2020. In 2016, about 40 percent of the revenue from sales of nanoproducts accounted for Europe, 28 percent — for countries of the Asian region.

the most striking recent trend is the explosive growth of nanoelectronics caused by unprecedented demand for mobile digital devices. the nanomedicine and nanomaterials clusters are also developing dynamically.

russIAn nAnotEchnology mArKEt

In 2007, Russia joined the countries oriented at development of nanotechnologies. Fundamentals of the state policy in the field of nanoindustry were defined in the

President’s Initiative “On Strategy for Development of Nanoindustry” of 24 April 2007 and the Program for Development of Nanoindustry in the Russian Federation until 2015. In compliance with these documents, a national nanotechnology network and

conditions for its effective operation shall be established in Russia.

According to the data of the Federal State Statistics Service for 2016, products related to nanotechnologies were produced by more than 500 enterprises and organisations from 57 regions of the Russian Federation. They delivered nano-enabled goods worth 1,236.2 billion rubles and conducted research and development (R&D) work related to nanotechnologies that costed 18.7 billion rubles.

In 2016, more than 76 percent of production of Russian nanoindustry products was concentrated in three industry sectors: production of coke and petroleum products, metallurgical production and chemical production.

Fund’s Strategy

Interview with Alexey Kachay, deputy cEo for strategy

The Fund’s strategy until 2025 was approved in 2016. What is the reason for development of a new strategy?

Strategy for any enterprise is a document that brings together its mission, goals and ways of achieving them. It is very important, because strategy determines what an enterprise will be doing and what it will not. Therefore, following own strategy is vital for healthy development of any company.

The Fund went through several stages of self-determination before its current Strategy-2025 was developed and adopted. After its establishment, key objectives were formed in the Fund. It should be acknowledged that these objectives were identified correctly and all of them have survived to the present day. Further, the target audiences and their needs within each direction were identified and formulated, and instruments (projects and programs implemented by the Fund) were selected.

In 2013, the Fund’s strategy for the period up to 2020 was adopted. The strategy united all those actions which helped the Fund to implement its mission — to create and develop the nanoindustry and independent nano-producers in Russia. It made a solid foundation for transition to a new stage of development.

As we understand the need to keep up with the times, we assessed the existing state initiatives for development and implementation of high-tech technologies, strategic planning documents of Russia and the current state of innovations. We also analysed the world trends for creating infrastructure for technological business development. The results of our work are reflected in the Strategy-2025.

What are specifics of your Strategy-2025?

Development of the Fund’s strategy, which is currently adopted, started in 2015. At that point, it was necessary to identify an element determining and binding all the Fund’s activities. The entirely new model “conveyor of innovations” was suggested as such element. All activities of the Fund clearly lined up around it. The important specifics of this new strategy lie in its orientation at development of both

nanotechnology and other related high-tech sectors of the economy.

For the moment, the Fund develops intensively an infrastructure able to create mass start-ups that are in demand on the market. These are start-ups which integrate successfully into the existing technological chains. There is a steady demand for their products that makes them attractive for investors. Our Fund supports development of the professional education system, follows balanced development of the ecosystem and the regulatory system of the innovative sector, etc.

Due to highly qualified team of employees of both the Fund itself and its portfolio companies, we are able to apply the most “advanced” technologies available for each direction: start-up studios, distance education and e-learning. Besides, we are studying actively successful international models and practice in the field of standardisation and standard-setting, and apply the modern ways of interaction with the target audience for nanotechnology popularisation and demand stimulation.

That is why we believe, that beyond achievement of our goals we can find the best possible and sometimes even unique ways to do it..

5 the strategy-2025 was approved by the supervisory Board in June 2016.

The key activity directions and the defined vector formed in the beginning of the Fund’s work created foundation for the next level of development and the new activity model:

� Fund created a large-scale intensively developing network of nanotechnology centres to ensure availability of services in various regions of the country;

� Fund developed the educational and specialists retraining programs and professional standards for nanotechnology professions. Programs aimed at improving the quality of educational process in schools and universities are being implemented;

� Fund our work with the government authorities in the part of regulatory initiatives aimed at maintaining interests of innovative companies in various business issues.

� Fund established the institutional framework for regulatory and technical support in the nanotechnology sector providing for widespread use of high-tech products;

� sectoral and regional programs for demand stimulation are being effectively implemented;

� information projects and programs that stimulate development of interest and growth of innovative activity of the existing and potential participants of the innovation process are being implemented.

State initiatives for development of the nanoindustry and high-tech technologies together with

the strategic goal of the Fund is the financial and non-financial development of nanotechnology and other related high-tech sectors of the economy through formation and development of the innovative infrastructure, development of the qualified personnel market and the system of professional education, implementation of institutional and information support promoting introduction of technological solutions and final products into the market.

strategic planning documents of the Russian Federation, including the President’s Initiative “On Strategy for Development of Nanoindustry”, the Strategy of the Innovative Development of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2020, the Scientific and Technological Development Outlook of the Russian Federation until 2030, the National Technological Initiative, the Strategy of the Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation for the Long Term and other documents as well as the world trends in the high-tech business development were significant and decisive for development of the Fund’s strategy:

� switching from funding of the existing projects to creation of new ones;

� system activity for creation of new companies;

� reduction the timing of start-ups development;

� high level of technological and service operations outsourcing in start-ups.

The Strategy for the Fund’s Activities5 until 2025 (hereinafter — Strategy-2025) was developed in 2016. Its goal was to develop the nanoindustry sector as well as other related high-tech industry sectors of the economy.

The Strategy-2025 is aimed at increasing the innovation activity in the Russian market through introduction of technologies for mass generation of high-tech businesses which are attractive for investors. Implementation of this target stipulates switch of the Fund to the new activity model — “conveyor of innovations”. The idea of the “conveyor” is to create as many start-ups and their infrastructure as possible.

The specialised infrastructure created by the Fund enables technological entrepreneurs to build several start-ups in parallel, and engineers together with developers to focus on solving specific problems, allowing them to be done several times faster and at lower cost.

the mission of the Fund is to support innovative development of the russian economy in the field of nanotechnology and other related high-tech sectors.

About half of the Fund’s annually generated start-ups are “born” from previously established technological companies. Any innovative business faces “empty spaces” in the production chains and unfilled market niches when developing a new product. A technological entrepreneur has to see such possibilities and create new companies to fill them.

The product of “conveyor of innovations” is not just one company, but many companies, and each of them plays a certain role in the technological chain. This is how mass production of technological businesses works.

For the efficiency of “conveyor of innovations”, it is necessary to solve the problem of technological entrepreneurs shortage and use

different instruments of support and assistance in the process of business establishment. This includes personnel training, creation of normative and technical instruments, removal of the administrative barriers, as well as popularisation of the nanoindustry and demand stimulation.

Integration of the infrastructural, educational and other ecosystem support elements into the general model of “conveyor of innovations” will speed up incubating of start-ups, widen the technology transfer, develop personnel capacity of the innovative companies, remove restrictions on production, implementation and replication of nano-enabled goods.

From the financial point of view, implementation of the Strategy-2025 model will make it possible to switch to the reproduced activity on account of returns from the nanocentre network to the Fund. Commissioning of the reinvestment cycle at the level

of the nanocentre network will result in revenues from exits to be returned back to nanocentres for refinancing their activities starting from 2017. From 2023, the Fund itself will receive refunds from the nanocentre network, on account of which all the activities of the Fund will be financed.

Nanotechnology Centres

By 2016, the Fund created a federal network, including 15 nanocentres located in the different regions of Russia. Their main goal is construction and sale of ready start-ups within material-based industries.

Each nanocentre is a centre of competence in certain technology areas. The network principle of nanocentres’ structure allows us to focus all development and infrastructure in a single most favourable place and provide

access to it for several different regional ecosystems at once.

Nanocentres use only financial instruments (such as loans or capital investments), and they

Implementation of the Strategy-2025 assumes development of the technological entrepreneurship and the launch of the “conveyor of innovations”. To achieve these objectives, we need to create the infrastructure for mass construction and sales of technological businesses within the material-based industries with the following goals:

� shortening the duration of the “full construction cycle” in a new technological company from the world average6 12–25 years to 5–7 years;

Fund created by the year 2016

� increasing the stake of ready-to-sale businesses from the world average of 10 percent7 to 50 percent.

Refusal to apply the accustomed model of other development institutions, which usually takes form of funding existing projects, highlights the unique nature of the Fund’s activities. The Fund performs the scarcest function within regional ecosystems which is a serial construction of new technological and infrastructural companies.

The Fund invests into the new type of innovative infrastructure development and develops approaches and standards of interaction with start-ups, which differ significantly from interaction with vertically integrated businesses.

are directly involved in governance of the established companies, as well as attract funds from the private sector at the stages of establishment and development of companies. The companies established by nanocentres are to become economically sustainable businesses providing the basis for launching a “long cycle” of return on infrastructure investments (see Fund’s Strategy for more details).

The companies established by nanocentres can be divided into two types: contract and product companies. Those of contract or infrastructure type cannot produce own products as their objective is to produce or develop products solely upon request of other companies. The product companies or start-ups place orders with the contract companies to manufacture their products, as they cannot have laboratories or

production capacities unlike the contract companies. By the end of 2016, approximately one contract company was established per ten start-ups according to the statistics. Experience has shown such a “division of labour” is very effective. It allows reducing investment and time expenditures and as a result speeding up the process of entering the market of new developments. Therefore, start-ups of the Fund’s nanocentres are “faster” and “cheaper” than the market average, and of course, their attractiveness as an object of sale or investments increases.

The main investments of nanocentres (about 90 percent) are aimed at establishment of contract companies, which presumes with high equipment expenditure. Creation of new product start-ups requires less expenditure as they do not

Examples of contract services of the nanocentres’ network

� Contract electronics engineering (interface development, ergonomics, complex electronics integration)

� Contract industrial design (development of a new product’s prototype and its 3D printing)

� Composite contract production (full package of

new technologies for work with composites, development and production of composite products of any complexity, centre of composite competences)

require production capacities and equipment. Meanwhile, from the moment of start-up creation, it takes several years until it can be sold — worldwide this period amounts to 12–25 years, the Fund’s goal is to reduce it to 5–7 years. All revenue received by start-ups during that period is invested into their development. At the same time, the contract companies start generating revenue almost immediately after lsetting up new equipment and laboratories.

The contract companies do not have one common customer. Their services are provided to both product start-ups of nanotechnology centres and to any other companies. About 30 percent of all orders in the portfolio of the contract companies come from nanocentres’ start-ups and 70 percent from the open market. This guarantees their economic stability, and at the same time, they do not compete with their customers, as they do not have their own production. Moreover, a large number of customers allows companies to reduce overhead expenses, which are distributed among all customers and thus make up 10–20 percent, rather than 200–800 percent as it may happen in the current production practices.

The revenue from external and internal customers is the key indicator of success achieved by the contractor business. The indicator of construction success of a product start-up is its fast entry to the market (in whole or in part).

Nanocentres invest into creation of those start-ups which are required for the global technology market. They study substantive gaps in technological chains and unfilled market niches and consider the need in faster transfer of

technology to Russia. Some start-ups are created for a future request of venture funds or big and growing companies.

Today, the rate of the network’s creative activities is rather impressive: each year, construction of more than 100 small innovative companies begins, which represents about half of all new start-ups within the material-based industry in Russia. By the end of 2016, 557 start-ups had already been created by virtue of the Fund’s infrastructure.

High rate of nanocentres development is reflected both in the number of start-ups under construction and in material terms. Revenue generated by enterprises increases year by year. That is definitely one of the most valuable indicators of successful development dynamics.

The nanocentres’ network unites developments from more than 20 priority directions. Particular attention is paid to protection of the intellectual property: all new developments of portfolio companies are registered as patents and know-how.

Technology Engineering Companies

Creation of technology engineering companies which develop and implement into production original technologies, equipment, technological solutions or products on the basis of already existing basic technologies is a very important direction of infrastructure development. Since 2011, the Fund has conducted more than 15 procedures within open contests to select the most promising projects for establishment of technology engineering companies (TEC). Engineering groups of small and medium-sized enterprises, including nanocentre companies

and universities acted as suppliers of basic technologies for TEC creation.

So far, 9 technology engineering companies have been created.

TECs serve as a link between existing basic technologies and customers who have production capacities for manufacturing and sale of high-tech products and carry out projects for the benefit of enterprises from different industrial sectors, providing both development services and services for design of final products and their launch into production.

TECs focus on later stages of the commercialisation process, when prototypes obtained as the result of R&D works were tested and certified. For implementation of serial product manufacturing,

TECs set engineering regulations, develop design documentation, technological schemes and sometimes even production equipment.

TECs have licenses for the required technologies and are able to use several technologies simultaneously for effective solution of the most complicated tasks set by customers. TEC’s new engineering solutions are registered as patents and know-how for protection of the intellectual property and further sales and licensing of technologies for different customers.

Involvement of TECs into the production or technological processes results in increased investment attractiveness of a project due to minimal use of financial, time and human resources and risk reduction.

For the period of its activity, CTT has created more than 70 start-ups in the field of new materials and innovative technologies in cooperation with Russian scientists

and research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences aimed at commercialisation of Russian science developments.

More than 20 of them became portfolio companies of the Fund’s nanocentre network and more than 30 became residents of the Skolkovo Foundation.

CTT attracts investments and grants from venture funds and governmental development institutions, consults on the matters of innovative infrastructure creation and forms research groups for R&D works ordered by industrial partners.

the Fund launched the rating of the best technological tasks for 3d printing

In 2016, the Fund teamed up with the technology engineering company CML AT to launch an annual rating of the most interesting tasks which can be solved by means of 3D printing and additive technologies — CML AT Additive Challenge http://additivechallenge.ru.

Additive technologies are at their early development stage in Russia: activities of most participants are related to creation of prototypes and not to functional products. The rating was launched to assess the extent to which Russian enterprises

were ready for implementation of additive technologies and digital production, to highlight the most promising tasks which can be solved by means of 3D printing and to create points for growth and development of additive technologies in Russia.

Representatives of the Fund, the Skolkovo Foundation and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University were members of the rating’s expert board. The assessment criteria also included:

� expediency of 3D printing;

� possibility of products serial production;

� unique nature of an idea (absence of similar solutions on the market)

Big, medium and small-sized enterprises, industrial enterprises, technological start-ups, individual research groups which were ready to demonstrate their capabilities in the field of additive technologies and represented the wide range of industry sectors: from medicine to automotive sector, took part in the rating.

russian nanoindustry Association

Non-profit partnership Russian Nanoindustry Association (hereinafter — RNA) was established with the Fund’s support in order to protect interests of Russian producers of nano-enabled goods.

Principal RNA objectives:

� detecting problems and needs of nanoindustry enterprises on a cooperative basis;

� consolidating existing resources of nanoindustry enterprises;

� developing general decisions for elimination of existing barriers and development problems;

� developing self-regulated mechanisms within the industry sector.

As of the end of 2016, 148 enterprises and nanoindustry organisations were members of RNA Non-profit Partnership, accounting for more than a half of all active participants of the nanoindustry in Russia.

Other Infrastructure Projects

Other infrastructure projects of the Fund also include:

� centres of technology transfer (CTT),

� centres of technology commercialisation (CTC),

� key and/or system-creating components of the social innovative infrastructure.

The main objective of CTTs is to create conditions for knowledge and technology transfer between science and research institutes and business. Centres of technology transfer unify efforts of unrelated Russian research centres, consolidate their activities together with the world’s leading research and development centres, provide services for the search of applied technologies and developments which are required by industrial companies. Thus,

CTTs perform an important task of helping to convert the results of scientific researches into final products of certain enterprises.

CTT’s objectives include a comprehensive support of potential technology consumers. This includes informing about technical development trends, offering the best technological solution and selecting a foreign partner. When required, CTTs initiate creation of a research centre, which performs personnel selection and trainings and assists in the technology development and implementation process until its launch in serial production.

Centres of technology commercialisation support research projects in converting developments into the final

profitable product. Furthermore, CTCs assist with contract signing, technology licensing, start-ups launch and protection of the intellectual property. CTCs are created in partnership with regional businesses and research institutes.

28 small innovative companies were established, and 34 results of the intellectual property were registered on the basis of CTT and СТС in 2016. Revenue of CTT, СТС and portfolio companies amounted to 46 million rubles.

Modernisation and Improving the Quality of Professional Personnel

Challenges, faced by the Russian economy due to the rapid technical progress, can be successfully met only in partnership between the innovative business and the educational system. At the same time, e-learning gives access to the modern digital content, providing both experts and school students with the information required for their professional development in a 24/7 mode. However, in opinion of the professional community, the personnel training system does not keep pace with rapid innovations and requires more flexible and brand new instruments. That is why the Fund, as one of the Russian development institutes, sees establishment of a system of continuing education and development of nanoindustry qualifications9 as its mission.

well as at the stage of distribution, where the lack of knowledge and experience of working with high-tech, demonstrated by potential consumers, becomes the obstacle. Therefore, one of the main goals of the Fund is to determine the current demand at the job market.

The next step in this direction is to help the leading universities of Russia to create new programs of supplementary professional education on the basis of inquiries from enterprises. The university networking is encouraged; internships are organised and both Russian and foreign scientists and professionals are attracted to development of educational supplies.

Interested companies collaborate with universities, reviewing new educational programs and funding trainings for their personnel.

The initiators of educational programs are both independent high-tech production companies and RUSNANO’s portfolio companies.

The Inter-University Program www.techpred.ru is a network educational project based on cooperation of innovation-oriented companies with the leading universities, aimed at training future engineers-techno-entrepreneurs who would have all the competences required for

establishing and running a high-tech business.

The key feature of this program is integration of university studies with scientific, research and development activities carried out by students in knowledge-based companies. Such trainings encourage students to acquire the competences required for establishing and running a high-tech business.

The Inter-University Program was created on request of the Moscow City Department of Science, Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship. In July 2016, first 27 graduates completed the Inter-University Program. 47 more students are following this program at the moment.

The initiative to train technological entrepreneurs was supported by the regional universities: educational

educational content; to create an industrial electronic platform for training and retraining of engineers and managers of nanoindustry companies and enterprises of related high-tech industry sectors.

To that end, the program Development of E-Learning System until 2020 was developed and approved in 2013 and an autonomous non-profit organisation “E-learning for Nano industry” (eNano) was established for its implementation.

Standardisation of Employer Requirements and Professional CertificationProFEssIonAl stAndArds on AdvAncEd EngInEErIng ProFEssIons

Major and ambitious targets of the nanoindustry and new kinds of labour activities made it necessary to create a legally bound system of employers demands. The first steps to create a system of professional qualifications by industry sectors were made in 2012, and by now, there are 45 professional standards on advanced engineering professions, approved by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, registered in the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation and applied in enterprises and universities.

Professional standards are based both on consolidation of suggestions made by nanoindustry companies and recommendations given by the academic and university community. To create a professional standard means to develop a system of requirements to the employee

qualification in compliance with regulations of the Russian Ministry of Labour. One of the important stages here is to provide a professional and social expertise: in 2016, more than 7,000 experts from several dozens of companies, research institutes and higher education institutions participated in discussion of professional standards projects.

qualification assessment of employees and graduates of the universities in the area of nanotechnology.

IndEPEndEnt QuAlIFIcAtIon AssEssmEntDue to collaboration between the government and the business sphere aimed at creation of a national system of qualifications in Russia, the CV market started to turn into the market of qualifications. This approach aims to improve the quality of the labour resources and to spur productivity growth, contributes to creation of the new professions, and transition to the digital economy. The independent qualification assessment system formed on the basis of professional standards is an effective mechanism for educational quality improvement.

Professional standards serve as a benchmark for universities to train in-demand specialists.the list of professional standards for the nanoindustry is available at http://www.monrf.ru/materials/standards/

Development of this system is driven by the National Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Professional Qualifications. At the moment, the notions “professional standard” and “independent qualification assessment” are widely used in the legislative practice.

Nanoindustry is a new, dynamically growing market, and the issue of qualifications has a special importance as opposed to the traditional economic industry sectors. Its specifics are in occurrence of new, high-tech professions on the basis of traditional ones, as well as in a significant stake of small entities and absence of obtained experience in personnel assessment.

In 2015, the Fund approved the program for Development of

on 1 january 2017, the Federal law no. 238-FZ of 3 july 2016 “on Independent Qualification Assessment”, has entered into force, and since then specialists, working or starting their work in certain areas of professional activity where professional standards are applied, can confirm their qualification in qualification assessment centres.

are also reflected in the Federal State Educational Standards for higher education. In 2015-2016, the Fund arranged and conducted an expertise of 32 Federal State Educational Standards for higher education for their compliance with professional standards for the nanoindustry.

Besides, professional standards are part of the professional development system and they form the basis of the independent

the Professional Qualification Assessment System in Nanoindustry for 2016–2018 to solve this task.

Participating in Implementation of Federal ProgramsKnowledge is increasingly becoming a foundation of the world economy, and innovations act as a powerful leverage of the economic growth permitting to achieve stronger performance in developing the areas of education, R&D work, as well as to ensure labour productivity growth. Innovation development requires resources promoting achievement of the human creative capacities, scientific research and economic activity of the private sector.

The Russian economy has ambitious goals of long-term

development, which imply increased governmental attention to the innovations. The science and innovation policy set forth by the government is reflected in the system of strategic planning documents, which defines its objectives, priorities and tools, as well as sets the long-term development milestones for innovative companies.

The Fund’s activity contributes to implementation of the state innovation policy and provides direct impact on achievement of goals and objectives of such

strategic planning documents as: Long-term Strategy of Scientific and Technology Development of the Russian Federation, Strategy of Innovative Development of the Russian Federation until 2020, State Program of the Russian Federation — Economic Development and Innovative Economy.

The Fund also participates in development of the program documents and other initiatives providing an impact on development of nanotechnology and related high-tech industry sectors.

Adequate conditions are necessary for effective development and implementation of innovations, and coherent operation at all levels of power, development institutions, expert and business society is required to maintain them. creating a favourable regulatory environment, which is in compliance with the modern trends and the impetuous development rate of the innovative industry sectors represents an important development stage of the innovative entrepreneurship. having clear understanding of nanotechnology sector demands, the Fund actively participates in development and implementation of the state and international programs and initiatives, important for this sector, as well as takes part in improvement of the national legislation, thus making a special contribution to solving the strategic development tasks of russia in the area of innovations.

Improving Regulatory Base for Innovation Activities and Developing Technological EntrepreneurshipEffectiveness of the state innovation policy implementation is determined to a large extent by the relevance of the existing legislation. Administrative barriers and absence of specialised instruments meeting the topical demands of the innovative industry sector can slow down development of innovative companies in a material way.

In order to create a favourable regulatory environment for high-tech companies, the Fund systematically tracks the state of the existing legislation, analyses the international practice and

market demands. It prepares proposals targeted at removal of administrative barriers, improvement of financial and non-financial mechanisms to support innovative companies, as well as development of specialised instruments meeting the topical demands of the innovative industry sector in the area of investment activities, tax policy, small and medium-sized entrepreneurship, intellectual property and other topical subjects.

In the framework of this activity the Fund extensively interacts

with the authorities, development institutions, expert and business society, participates in working and cross-sectoral groups, including:

� Expert Council for Scientific and Technological Development and Intellectual Property of the State Duma Committee for Education and Science;

� The Committee for Innovation Policy and Innovative Entrepreneurship of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the Sub-Committee of RUSPEC, as well as the Expert Group of the Committee;

They gain a specific meaning when focusing on import substitution of high-tech products.

Standardisation reduces time and labour costs on development of new products and technologies, minimises routine and allows distributing and applying the best standard practices and technologies. The open source standards help new innovative companies, which are the driving force of the innovation activity, to access the markets.

stAndArdIsAtIon ProgrAm In nAnoIndustry

The Fund together with the Russian Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and

Metrology developed the Standardisation Program in Nanoindustry, which gets updated on an annual basis with consideration of proposals made by innovative enterprises.

The Program activities are aimed at securing product competitiveness, application of materials of a higher quality and progressive technologies, support of real economy development.

The Program envisages development of the national standards for nine areas of nanotechnologies development. In 2016, the Program was supplemented with the standards which required revision considering development of international documents on standardisation in nanoindustry. Development of draft national standards for innovative products in order to accelerate implementation of R&D results and conduct preliminary testing of requirements for innovative standardisation items was a priority for 2016. Today, the

Program includes more than 400 standards, 335 of which have already been developed (including 197 with funding from the Fund) http://standardnano.ru/allowing-docs/NanoStandards.pdf.

The Technical Standardisation Committees TC 441 (national) and ITC 441 (inter-governmental) Nanotechnologies were established on the basis of the Fund in order to arrange and conduct the National Standardisation.

TC 441 Nanotechnologies develops the standards in cooperation with more than 40 dedicated technical committees.

Besides, TC 441 Nanotechnologies prepares decisions stating its position in terms of draft international standards with consideration of the national interests.

In 2016, the Fund cooperated with standardisation institutions of participating CIS countries upon initiative of the Fund. The

Forming Environmental and Social Tools for Sustainable Development of Innovative Enterprises

Strong foundation for successful development of innovation technologies are economic growth, environmental and social responsibility. For the purposes of forming such foundation, the Fund provides services for development and implementation of the most effective practices of voluntary self-regulation into operation of innovative enterprises, namely:

� management systems (quality, risks, energy saving, health and safety, environmental management);

� codes of conduct.

Application of nanotechnological developments and supplies can improve environmental situation, however, standardisation and certification of “green” nanotechnologies and products are required in order to deploy them in a large scale.

In 2016, the Fund together with the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology proposed to develop and implement a system of “green” standards and principles of environmental responsibility at the nanoindustry enterprises. Compliance of the products and technologies with the “green” standards, confirmed by a “green” certificate, is an additional

competitive advantage for innovative companies.

Together with the Technical Regulation Committee of the Russian Nanoindustry Association (RNA), the Fund develops a pro-active regulatory base contributing to manufacture and introduction of energy and resource saving and environmentally safe nano-enabled goods.

The Fund arranges development and attestation of measurement methods and standard samples of composition and properties of substances and supplies required for use in the nanoindustry for the benefit of innovative companies. Information is introduced to a separate free access section of the Federal Information Fund for Ensuring Measurement Uniformity — Measurements in Nanoindustry, which was formed upon the Fund’s initiative. This provides enterprises with required

methods within a short term. More than 150 measurement methods and 20 standard samples of composition and properties of nanosubstances and nanomaterials were developed for the nanoindustry enterprises.

In 2016, the Fund with participation of ANO Nanocertifica performed a research of B2C products aiming at detecting the products which bear the term nano without a reasonable basis.

russIAn nAno-EnAblEd goods mArK

In order to increase trust for the Russian nanoproducts and protect the market from unscrupulous manufacturers, low quality goods, and fake goods, the Fund works on assignment of the Russian Nano-Enabled Goods mark.

Russian Nano-Enabled Goods mark is intended to mark the products manufactured in Russia with

confirmed quality and safety properties and without fake. Such mark helps regular consumers to orientate themselves in the market of nano-enabled goods. Russian Nano-Enabled Goods mark is an important reputation instrument for manufacturers, which confirms both innovativeness and high quality of their products.

In 2016, Russian Nano-Enabled Goods mark was assigned to 26 types of products of 19 Russian innovative companies. The total of 99 types of products received Russian Nano-enabled Goods mark.

Marking innovative products with a trade mark — Russian Nano-Enabled Goods allowed reducing the probability of market circulation for fake and low quality products and services sold as NANO by 20 percent. This segment of the market potentially available for the Russian manufacturers may be evaluated as high as at least 120 billion rubles.

Mass media and social media are the main sources of informing the target audiences about nanotechnologies and the nanoindustry. For the purpose of communication with each audience in its language (young people, research workers, entrepreneurs and the authorities), the Fund cooperates with the relevant media channels: social and political, business, industry channels, regional mass media and communities in social networks.

The main source of information about the Fund’s activities for mass media representatives is RUSNANO Group’s web-site http://www.rusnano.com.

mEdIA rElAtIons

The Fund interacts with mass media offering its own news to the editorial boards (120 news topics in 2016) and participating in the general information agenda in order to demonstrate how nanotechnologies can contribute to solution of a given problem. For example, one of the most important topics in 2016 was security of the society. A number of mass media (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Gazeta.ru, etc.) described how introduction of nanotechnology developments contributes to security in international airports. Izvestiya and other newspapers published articles dedicated to created access control systems on the basis of RFID-marks for museums.

These and other articles in social and public or business mass media allow demonstrating by specific examples the practical advantage of using the nanotechnologies right now and development of the nanoindustry in general.

The Fund traditionally and actively supports popular scientific and technological editions. Articles dedicated to the Fund’s projects and nanotechnologies were published in the following newspapers: Schrodinger’s Cat, Nauka i Zhizn, and on the web-portals: Science and Technology of the Russian Federation Cherdak, Postnauka, the newspaper of the scientific society Poisk and other popular scientific and technological periodicals. The web-portal N+1 published a series of articles about winners of the All-Russian Engineering Contest in the Field of Nanotechnologies; and together with the web-site Biomolekula a contest was held for the best popular scientific publication in the field of modern biology.

In order to support the student creativity in the field of science and technology, a multimedia project All-Russian Engineering Contest for Under-Graduates and Post-Graduates was implemented on the basis of ITAR-TASS in cooperation with Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

The Fund publishes information about its activities in social networks using both the communities of RUSNANO Group and specially developed



“project” accounts in the most popular social networks in Russia: VKontakte and Facebook. In 2016, the average monthly audience outreach in social networks amounted to 450 thousand people.

The contest for power efficient electronics Green Chip was promoted, Flexible Electronics sessions were organised at SEMICON RUSSIA 2016, and accounts of the All-Russian Engineering Contest in the Field of Nanotechnologies were registered. As part of this project, a series of video materials dedicated to the contest’s tasks was prepared and informed about the tasks and contest conditions in a clear and interesting manner.

In cooperation with the scientific and educational project N+1 a special project Ne Nano Tut was implemented. N+1 website visitors, who learned about the project from information provided in N+1 and RUSNANO communities, had to pass a test where they were asked to distinguish the real nanotechnologies and fake ones. During the test, participants received detailed, and at the same time, clear explanation of the essence of nanotechnology developments.

The Fund acting as a partner of the Technology of Materials direction of the Yaroslavl forum Projectory. Future Intelligent Leaders of Russia organises the laboratory zone where schoolchildren solve different business cases.

In 2016, on request of the Fund the VCIOM foundation (subsidiary division — NAFI Research Centre) conducted a research to determine

special multimedia Project: ne nano tut

To promote the test in social networks a media campaign Nano or Fake was organised and resulted in overrun of the targeted number of views. The test page was visited by more than 25 thousand people with the average time of staying reaching 7 minutes, which was much more than the average time of staying on N+1 web-site. About 10 thousand users completed the test.

Lately there emerged many products and services with “nano” label around us. Nanowash and nanopaint, nanospray for shoes and nanosocks. Which of these products are real and which use it only to make money on hot topic? Together with Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs we prepared a test fot you - examples of these product were found in real shops. Will you manage to sort out what is a real product and what is fake?

1. Let’s start from an easy one - stomatology. Experts got two products for certification, however only one of them was using real nanomaterials. Which one is fake?

А Nanospray from snoring

Nanopackage for seedsB

А Nanobiomagnet for weight loss

Nano crushed stone from cellular glassB

2. And now vice versa: which word has “nano” for a reason?

3. Which of the suggested materials is fake?
