Moscow will become Russia's main testing ground for innovation. At a meeting of the Moscow government Presidium, the program for pilot testing of innovative solutions was approved. In addition, a new procedure for assigning the status of "Moscow investor"to the capital's production companies has been defined.
As practice shows, customers make decisions about purchasing innovative products subject to preliminary testing in real or as close to real conditions as possible. In this regard, there is a great demand among manufacturers of innovative products for sites for conducting such tests.
The infrastructure of any organizations whose specialists have the necessary experience and knowledge to test innovative products can be used as platforms. These companies can also become its first consumers.
The example of European cities confirms that creating an ecosystem of sites for pilot testing is one of the most effective measures to support innovative companies.
The program of pilot testing of innovative solutions adopted in Moscow provides for:
creating a pool of sites for pilot testing of innovative solutions. In the test mode, since may 2019, the program has included more than 40 sites, including the innovation and educational complex "technograd", the center for speech pathology and neurorehabilitation, the network of clinics "Medsi", the group of companies "A101", the Russian University of peoples ' friendship, school # 1535, the Moscow search and rescue service on water bodies and many other institutions;
assistance to high-tech enterprises in conducting pilot tests, which includes expertise, legal support, and information support. You can help this is the innovation Agency of the city of Moscow. The procedure, methodology, schedule, timing, and other essential conditions for conducting pilot testing will be governed by tripartite agreements between product manufacturers, testing sites, and the innovation Agency.
Already, 29 pilot tests are being conducted or completed on urban and commercial sites, most of which are related to medicine or education. Among them:
EmmaReha system-automates the process of rehabilitation of patients, monitors the patient's appointments, allows you to make an examination (the site where the system is tested is the center for speech pathology and neurorehabilitation, the developer is Mobile medical technologies LLC»);
telescopic lift-walking simulator "TRAM" - is used for rehabilitation and use in the daily life of people with reduced mobility (site-Scientific and practical rehabilitation center, developer - LLC " Rehabmedical»);
telemedicine platform "MMT-Pro" - allows you to remotely consult and monitor the health of patients (platform-Scientific and practical clinical center for diagnostics and telemedicine technologies, developer - LLC " Mobile medical technologies»);
the system of radio information and sound orientation "Talking city" is used for visually impaired and other low-mobility citizens, allows them to move independently in the urban environment (the site is a boarding house for the visually impaired, the developer is LLC " Talking city»);
face shields-designed for use by medical staff working in the registry (site — JSC "Family doctor", developer-individual entrepreneur Alexander seredinsky);
instruments cleaning and disinfection (area — scientific-industrial Association "Mosgormash", developed by OOO "Krasnoye pole").
The implementation of the pilot testing program will increase the demand for innovative products of Moscow companies, as well as reduce administrative barriers to the introduction of high-tech solutions in the urban economy.
By the end of the year, it is planned to conduct 100 pilot tests in the areas of trade, services, energy efficiency, it, communications, medicine, education, ecology, security and transport.
Any company or startup that is developing or already producing a unique product (service) can participate in the program. You can get detailed information and apply for pilot testing on the website of the Moscow innovation cluster i.moscow.
