Russia has a long and distinguished history in science and technology. Maybe you have forgotten that Sputnik was the first space capsule launched in 1957. The first telecommunication satellite was also Russian. Russian researchers developed one of the first electronic computers. More recently, Russian researchers have figured prominently in such areas as navigation, space exploration, aviation, thin film technologies, laser optics, biotechnology, manufacturing of crystals and advanced materials, IT and in fact, all of the "hot" areas of today's science and technology. More than two million persons work in 4500 R&D centers in Russia, of which one million are researchers, far more than in any other country in the world. Some of the R&D centers are very large, each with several thousand active researchers. Russian R&D centers are very keen to take on contract R&D work from overseas to supplement official funding and keep their staff working.

Many Russian electronic, biotechnological, chemical, advanced materials, optical and other R&D centers have technologies and products which have been developed in-house. Many of them are willing to consider commercialization of the results of their R&D efforts in overseas countries and develop closer relationships with foreign companies.

We have expertise and experience in all aspects of technology transfer business: identification of a prospective Russian partner for the technical tie-up; evaluation of technology; arrangement of business meetings and negotiations of terms and conditions for technology transfer.

Outsourcing for R&D works

Technical Consultancy

We can help foreign clients who seek consultancy or assistance on matters relating to R&D projects that are being implemented by their companies. We assist by finding Russian R&D institutes and companies which have relevant expertise and are able to fulfil such consulting roles.

Technology/Product Sourcing

We carry out search for customers who are looking for specific Russian developments, hi-tech products or technologies. We worked on projects dealing with software engineering, semiconductors, optics and laser equipment, biotechnology, hi-tech titanium, tungsten and tantalum powders, chemicals, etc.
