MIET and SEZ Technopolis Moscow signed a cooperation agreement

MIET and Special Economic Zone Technopolis Moscow will actively develop innovative enterprises in the field of electronics and information technology and conduct joint fundamental and applied scientific research.

“We agreed to organize a permanent platform for the interaction of all Technopolis residents,” noted MIET rector Vladimir Alexandrovich Bespalov. “Everyone will involve their partners, and this will allow us to achieve the momentum that is needed to implement the programs for the development of the radio-electronic industry in Russia, the task that the government sets before us.”

Special Economic Zone Technopolis Moscow consists of five sites with a total area of 223.3 hectares: one of them is located in Pechatniki and four in Zelenograd - Alabushevo, Mikron, Angstrem and MIET. The developed innovation infrastructure of MIET has become the basis for the formation of a whole cluster of small and large research and manufacturing enterprises that are actively involved in the scientific and educational activities of the university and operate within the framework of common strategic priorities related to the promotion of domestic electronic products and developments in especially important areas.

“For me, it is very important and significant that MIET declares itself as the lead developer of equipment related to lithography, to lithographs - the most complex equipment that actually requires a new understanding and future manufacturing,” said Gennady Degtev, the General Director of SEZ Technopolis Moscow. He also emphasized the importance of economic relations of MIET with other leading universities of the country and industries - in particular, interaction with Kurchatov Institute, which will allow carrying out the most complex work on the synchrophasotron - the most complex equipment for experimental studies of the properties of high-energy charged particles and their interaction with matter.

Cooperation between MIET and SEZ will expand employment opportunities for the graduates. “Growing SEZ companies need technologists, developers, economists, lawyers in the field of cybersecurity,” noted V.A. Bespalov. “And taking into account the general digitalization and digital transformation of the whole country, the demand for our graduates in the areas of Technopolis is beyond doubt.”
