R&D Park: towards global leadership in precious metals.

R&D Park is an infrastructure for technologies development and its transfer in the field of precious metals. The Park was launched in March 2016 by Krastsvetmet, the Russia's biggest precious metals refinery in order to establish an open innovations platform allowing to foster technologies and new products developments. Since its launch R&D Park has already done 4 acceleration programs (two programs were done in collaboration with Russian Venture Company, one - with regional business incubator and another one was run by ourselves), 7 projects reside in the Park and a lot of partnerships with universities, industrial companies, investors and startups were established. R&D Park has also developed several technologies for partnering precious metals companies enhancing the efficiency of their processes. R&D Park is a good example of how a corporation can boost innovation activities in a particular city and region. We are very welcome startups, universities and industrial companies to collaborate.
