RUSSIA : SKOLKOVO INNOVATION PROJECT
A total of $700 million has already been allocated for Russian state grants under the Skolkovo innovation project.
French AREP won an international tender to design the Skolkovo center,
in a village to the west of Moscow.
The French plans were preferred, as they involve stage-by-stage launch of Skolkovo Science City units – allowing work to start earlier.
AN INTEGRATED GLOBAL PROJECT, THAT WILL BOOST THE INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS MARKET
Viktor Vekselberg, Skolkovo
Innovation project chief :
From French partners, we need experience, knowledge and skills; it’s something that we are trailing slightly behind in: the ability to commercialize fundamental studies and to turn ideas into completed, marketable products. French have been very successful at that. Russia has great intellectual capital, good academic institutions, good level of professional and higher education, and we have people – young, talented, and ambitious. I hope we will be able to build an integrated global project that will turn Russia from a country that supplies brains to the international market into a country that supplies completed innovative products.

New details have been revealed on the Skolkovo innovation hub front. French specialists to be engaged in construction activities revealed the novelties which are about to appear in Russia’s Silicon Valley. The butterfly-shaped high-tech hub – and this is what Skolkovo actually looks like on blueprints – will provide the right environment for carrying out research and introducing innovations. 400 hectares of Skolkovo territory will house five modern centers for research and development to advance the five priority areas of work spelled out by President Medvedev – energy, IT, telecommunications, biomedical and nuclear technology. There will also be a university, offices, as well as technical and production premises to house 20,000 staff.

Skolkovo Science City units will be launched stage-by-stage
“Avec notre portefeuille actuel, nous pensons maintenir une croissance organique à deux chiffres en Asie”, a déclaré lundi soir Pierre Coppéré, PDG de Pernod Ricard Asia.
Toutefois, le groupe n’a pas de projet d’acquisition à court terme.
A propos d’un éventuel intérêt du numéro deux mondial des spiritueux pour la tequila Jose Cuervo, visée par le britannique Diageo , il a réaffirmé que les projets d’acquisition n’étaient pas à l’ordre du jour pour Pernod Ricard qui se concentre sur son désendettement depuis l’acquisition de la vodka suédoise Absolut.
En Chine, devenue le deuxième marché du groupe derrière les Etats-Unis, Pernod réalise la moitié de son chiffre d’affaires grâce au cognac (Martell), le whisky (Chivas Regal ou Ballentine’s) comptant pour environ 35% de ses ventes, la vodka (Absolut) restant très loin derrière.
Les ventes de cognac progressent plus vite en Chine que celles du whisky pour des raisons à la fois historiques, liées à leur antériorité, mais aussi d’offre, a expliqué Pierre Coppéré. Plus riche en gamme que le whisky, le cognac offre des bouteilles allant des eaux-de-vie simples à moins de 25 dollars aux “XO” (extra old), appellation qui désigne des assemblages d’eaux-de-vie d’au moins six ans d’âge, à plus de 85 dollars, en passant par les “VSOP” (very special old pale) de quatre ans et demi d’âge et les “VS” (very special), de deux ans.
