At the Moscow Startup Summit, Dmitry Chernyshenko greeted the participants of the investment demo day of the finalists of the “Know Our People” competition, awarded the laureates of the Technology Award for participants in the innovation market, and evaluated the exhibition.
Thus, within the framework of the first investment demo day of the growing Russian brands competition “Know Ours,” nine companies presented solutions for medicine, industry, construction, logistics, tourism, education, and the safe use of artificial intelligence.
Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked Sber, the Moscow government, and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives for organizing the event. He also highlighted the importance of the work of GigaChat — Sber’s neural network — and emphasized that the representatives of the projects competing in the “Know Ours” contest use advanced technologies. The Deputy Prime Minister spoke about the work of the University Technology Entrepreneurship Platform created by the Government. Thanks to it, grants are allocated for the development of startups.
Dmitry Chernyshenko greeted the participants of the Technology Award for participants in the innovation market, and also presented awards to the winners in the categories “Explosive Growth” (awarded to technology startups with a high revenue growth rate) – the system for teaching robotics and programming “Robbo” – and “International Expansion” (for technology startups successfully scaling their business to foreign markets) – the company “Cyburtag,” which creates VR arenas for games and already operates in 35 countries.
“The Technology Award for innovation market participants should unite, inspire, and highlight the best. It would be difficult to come up with a more suitable platform with better partners. After all, Sber is the largest bank in the country, which, possessing unique competencies and experience, has transformed into one of the largest technology companies in the world. It is simply a treasure trove of cases, technologies, and everything necessary for venture investors. I am confident that Sber sets the quality standard for venture investing and confidently maintains this bar, which others look up to. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to present awards to the winners, whom we respect immensely,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.
In addition, within the framework of the startup summit, the Deputy Prime Minister evaluated the exhibition of innovative technologies. It showcases promising projects in medicine and biotechnology, education and creative industries, agriculture and food production, construction and urbanism, smart devices, and robotics. Each of the startups addresses real challenges faced by individuals and businesses.
It should be noted that the Moscow Startup Summit took place at “SberCity”, in the space of the largest campus of “School 21.” It was dedicated to technological entrepreneurship and open innovations.
