500 mln

rubles in investments were raised over the last year by startups that are part of the HSE Business Incubator. The head of the HSE Business Incubator, Mikhail Erman, reported this figure during the Tekhnoprom forum in Novosibirsk, Russia.

‘We’ve launched 800 startups over the last three years, and they’ve raised over half a billion rubles in investments in the last year. I’m talking only about early stage startups – that is, when we are approached at the idea or prototype level,’ Erman explains. Successful startups, he adds, include services that provide event ticketing, advertising automation via social networks, and online retail logistics.
