Now much is said about the silicon (silicon) valley of Russia, where the most progressive, fastest growing, and most importantly, the most innovative companies in Russia, and in the future the whole world, will gather.
Have you heard that? I think they heard.
While Russia was choosing the most suitable place for this miracle zone of innovation, Novosibirsk took and built the first phase of the Technopark, where the most progressive companies in Novosibirsk will be settled in a month. I visited there literally this morning and was amazed at what I saw.
The technopark is located in the Akademgorodok of Novosibirsk. This is approximately 40 minutes by car from the city or an hour by bus. Of course, not very close, but the spirit of the academic campus is really present there.
So, I arrived and this is what I saw:
The inner spaces also pleasantly surprised:
Next, we proceeded to the hall where the production companies would work:
A very pleasant lounge, of course, delighted. On the first and second floors are spacious production facilities, in which our innovative enterprises will work. And in this spacious hall, relations with neighboring companies will be made, which in the future should create partnership within the Technopark.
Apart from the production facilities, there are 2 more floors of offices where IT companies and students are based (more on this below).
The first resident companies have already visited the Technopark first.
And on the third floor of the offices will be a business incubator for students of NSU and young organizations. Already now the selection of the first start-up companies is underway, which will be completely free of charge settled in new offices, where they will be provided with equipped jobs.
It seems to me that it’s very good for a start.

I apologize for the disappearance of the pictures! The site of the technopark could not stand the habraeffect, so the pictures were reloaded.
On the advice of the ha-people, the title has changed. Now we are talking about Silicon Valley (instead of Silicon Valley).
