“Open Innovations”, the International Forum for Innovative Development, was held in Moscow from 14 to 16 October 2014.

Organized with the support of the Russian Government, the Forum once again confirmed its status as a leading international platform for innovation. It was attended by representatives from 70 countries, including both Russian and foreign officials, CEOs of major corporations, managers from the high technology sector, venture investment specialists, scientists and young innovators.

More than 160 different events, discussions, round tables, presentations and lectures were held during the Forum. Our specialists took an active part in a round table session on the theme “ Medical diagnostics: fast, accurate and on time”.

A landmark part of the “Open Innovations” Forum was the exhibition “Open Innovations Expo 2014”, where our partner “PET-Technology” was represented in full size as one of the main projects on the stand of RUSNANO at the very centre of the exhibition.

On 2 September 2014, Nikolai Merkushkin, head of the Samara region administration, and representatives of RUSNANO launched the construction of the Positron-Emission Computerized Therapy Centre (PET-Centre) in Samara. It will be built next to the Samara regional cancer clinic.

The new centre will apply a very unique technology for diagnosing cancers, as well as neurological and heart diseases. The method requires introducing special agents into the patient before  he or she is placed in a highly powerful scanner. Thanks to this procedure, it will be possible to detect affected cells at a very early stage.

The creation of this Centre in the region was initiated by the Samara region administration and the RUSNANO group. In February, the administration had already signed an agreement with a subsidiary of the State company, “PET-Technology”, and it is this company that will operate the future Centre.

19 June 2014. On Thursday, Liudmila Shvetsova, vice-speaker of the State Duma and member of the ONF Central Committee, announced that the All-Russian Popular Front would be  analysing the reasons behind the delays in implementing the construction program of perinatal centres in several regions of the country. According to Ms Shvetsova’s words, which may be found on the ONF website, “the development of perinatal centres and the more efficient use of highly technological medical equipment are an essential part of the strategy for developing the Russian health system as defined by the President in his decrees last May. It is vital to combine the powers of the authorities in direct control with a form of control exercised by the public. This is the only way to make sure that the President’s orders are carried out and the situation of the health system improved”.

28 May 2014.  “Cancer can be cured” are generally the first words to be found in the ads placed in various tabloids by would-be healers and charlatans. But the words are indeed true! At certain conditions. Cancer can really be cured if it is detected at its very earliest stage. If a couple of cells only are affected and the doctor detects them in time, he can treat them selectively, destroy them, and the patient will be cured. Early diagnosis is possible thanks to nuclear medicine. But alas, Russia lags far behind other developed countries in this area. We are therefore afraid of cancer, we live in fear of developing a tumour, although in the rest of the world cancer is by far no longer so terrifying. In order to deal with the situation, the government has developed a targeted federal program for the health system called “Modernising the medical and pharmaceutical industry” and including two “nuclear” chapters. The realisation of these two chapters has been entrusted to two institutions belonging to Rosatom (State Atomic Energy Corporation): the Moscow scientific research institute in technical physics and automation (NIITFA) and the Saint-Petersburg scientific research institute in electro-physical devices (NIIEFA).  Both institutes have recently completed the tasks entrusted to them by the government.

"The most interesting project which will come to Russia is the industrial areas of Russian Railroad (RJD). We are now consulting them regarding the territories close to Maloje Kolzo of Moscow Railroad (MK MJD)”, added Mrs. Belaychuk.

According to an expert, the main advantage of the commercial centers on the territories of industrial areas is the availability of utility facilities which were used before in the industrial purposes and are more than sufficient for commercial centers.

“It seems to be a federal trend because the markets go away not only from million plus cities but also from cities with 500.000 population”, said the representative of Cushman&Wakefield.

The extension of the application of the consumers’ protection law to the preliminary contracts of housing’s sale and purchase may result in the bankruptcy of many market players.

This opinion was expressed by Mr. Sergey Zimin, deputy authorized representative of President of the Russian Federation in the north-western federal district.

According to the resolution of the Supreme Court Plenum the application of the consumers’ protection law shall be extended to the preliminary sale and purchase agreements.

As an expert told, investors who singed such an agreement with a construction company will be able to claim judicially 3% of the housing price from the construction company per each delayed day since the date of the the construction completion. Moreover, there were already several precedents when the purchasers of the housing who signed the sale and purchase contracts with the construction company went to the court to exact a penalty from the construction company. However in most cases the delays of the construction completion occurs through no fault of the construction companies but through fault of the delayed actions of the registration authorities or utility supply companies.

The revocation of accreditation certificates will not cause any market collapse according to the experts. The head of the Federal Accreditation Service Mr. Savva Shipov informed the mass media on this.

The companies with the revoked accreditation certificates practiced non-state appraisal of project documentation and research. The revoke of their licenses is a logical effect of the amendments to the Urban Planning Code which entered into force on the 1st April of 2012. After these amendments became effective the expert appraisals of private construction companies were placed on the same legal footing as the appraisals of the state companies. However, the private companies shall correspond to a number of new requirements. Mr. Shipov noticed that they had enough time to fulfill the requirements. According to the announcement of the head of the Federal Accreditation Service on the 1st of February an open letter was published to inform all the companies accredited to carry out non-federal assessments on such requirements. As a result 72 non-state companies accredited to issue expert appraisal were left on the market.

The volume of the Russian construction appraisal market is estimated at 50 billion rubles annually. Mr. Shipov emphasized that the rejected companies can continue working on the market but only as consultants. Their consultations will have no legal force. Savva Shipov is certain that generally speaking these novations will lead to the increase of the completion on the appraisal market. It will result in positive changes. The waiting time to get documents will be reduced since there will be no long lines if the choice is good enough. It is too early to talk about the pricing, as the experts notice.

A special project Green Development was organized within the framework of the International Investment Forum PROESTATE to improve the situation. The purpose of the project is to promote the energy efficiency and environmental friendliness issues, implementation of new standards and co-operative search for solutions o f problems with which Russian developers face while introducing innovation construction technologies.
