Skolkovo Innovation Center
The Skolkovo Innovation Center is a high technology business area at Mozhaysky District in Moscow, Russia. Although historically Russia has been successful with development of science and technology, its lack of entrepreneurial spirit led to government intervention in patents and the limitation of Russian tech companies within regional operations. As corporations and individuals register their residency in the city, they can receive financial assistance to realize their proposed projects and ideas. Skolkovo was first announced on 12 November 2009 by then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The complex is headed by Viktor Vekselberg. History and work In March 2010, Vekselberg announced the necessity of developing a special legal code for Skolkovo and emphasized the need to offer a tax holiday lasting 5–7 years. In April 2010, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev charged the government with working out specific legal, administrative, tax, and customs regulations for Skol ...

Multiclet
MultiClet is an ongoing innovation project for a microprocessor that became the first post von Neumann, multicellular microprocessor, breaking the paradigm for computing technology that has been in place for more than 60 years. There have been attempts in the past to shift away from the von Neumann architecture. Under MultiClet a 4-cellular dynamically reconfigurable microprocessor is implemented. History * In April 2013, the Russian company Sputnix signed an agreement for joint development of the MultiClet microprocessor. * In January 2014, an announcement is made that the FreeRTOS operating system has been ported to the MultiClet microprocessor, this demonstrates that the microprocessor potentially can perform tasks that makes it suitable for real products. * In April 2014, the Kickstarter project ''Key_P1 MultiClet: Your Powerful Digital Guardian'', failed to raise sufficient funding. * Since June 2014, the MultiClet microprocessor is reportedly under test in real space conditi ...
