Medvedev To Hold A Google Hangout On Russia’s Tech Future
It’s been five years since Russia began its huge project to literally carve out its own version of Silicon Valley in a huge technology park, being built just outside of Moscow.
The project, dubbed Skolkovo, will create a 400-hectare site for up to 30,000 workers and has a budget extending to $15 billion through to 2020. But right now much of it remains a building site and unicorn-level startups are thin on the ground.
While Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has put his personal stamp of authority on the project, until now he has never done a live video interview about the project.
That changes on Monday at 8.30am New York Time (3:30 pm Moscow time, 1.30pm London Time), when I will be moderating a Google Hangout with Medvedev and a number of guests invited by the Skolkovo Foundation. It will last for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
