MIET research-educational and innovation complex acts as the basis for establishing and developing Free Economic Zone for Technology Innovation – Special Economic Zone “Techopolis Moscow”.

Special economic zone “Technopolis Moscow” (former SEZ “Zelenograd” or TVZ “Zelenograd”) is a special economic zone of a technology-innovative type, created in 2005 initially on the territory of the Zelenograd administrative district of Moscow on the sites of Alabushevo and MIET.

Now there are 6 sites:

• Alabushevo site
• MIET site
• NIIME and Mikron site
• Angstrem site
• Technopolis Moscow in the South-Eastern Administrative District
• Rudnevo site.

The participation of MIET complex within Technopolis Moscow is of strategic importance, as it allows to use the existing infrastructure for the development of innovation activities.

Accumulated rich experience and network of established ties between the subjects of innovation activities is to be used as the pattern for extending techno-promotional activities on the territory of “Alabushevo” site.

The prospects for the further development of MIET innovation infrastructure are to be closely related to the construction of SEZ Technopolis Moscow infrastructural objectsso as to host business-incubator, centre for staff retraining, technology transfer centre and a network of shared-use centres.

Full-scale infrastructure will allow to realize the main directions of innovation activities in the immediate future – staff retraining, business-incubating of companies, technology transfer, and rendering services for fabrication of small-volume pilot batches of technical products on the basis of shared-use centres.
