IASP is an world known association of scientific parks, innovative centers and other innovative institutions. IASP includes 388 members from 70 countries with 128000 innovative companies.

PROPOSAL ON SUPPORT MEASURES FROM MINISTRY OF ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT

Target: provision of investment attractiveness and competitive positioning of ITC to develop regional innovation infrastructure

Challenge: absence of sufficient "long" working capital for the construction of premises and outfitting with a modern research and production equipment

Support measures: - subsidizing of the interest rate on loans to the construction of ITCs’ infrastructure, - development of the program to create centers of collective use in ITC.
