"Our region has been chosen for pilot development and implementation of NTI projects. In other words, the most advanced technologies developed in our country will be tested in our region. Over the next three months, together with RVC, we will select these projects to be implemented in the Novgorod Oblast," said Andrey Nikitin, the Governor of the Novgorod Oblast.
The working group will cooperate to identify any administrative barriers hindering the process and mechanisms to improve regulatory framework for bringing NTI products to the market, to test new technologies in order to check their technological and functional characteristics as well as to develop a system for evaluating efficiency of such solutions and product scaling opportunities.
«We will join efforts with the Government of the Novgorod Oblast to remove administrative barriers preventing NTI projects from entering the market, focus on experimenting with renewed legal framework in the region. We also plan to create conditions for the signing of agreements with the region's economic entities and agreements on public-private partnerships and investment contracts. We will work on the pilot application of NTI projects, and provide expert and analytical support for their implementation as well as their promotion. We have already compiled road maps to test-pilot the first five projects.
