MISSION
The international initiative for 2024 consists of the deep-dive research
of the best innovation cases and the following closed business event
upon the key findings and policies.
GIA is supported by
Ekaterina Petrova
Director of GenerationS corporate innovation platform
Scientific and technological progress is increasingly important for the economic development of society and is based on the large-scale development of innovations, which is why the demand for small technology companies is growing. Following last year's GIA Award, we received a positive response from the participants of the innovation ecosystem in Russia, while for many companies, the best cases became an example of high-quality and fast work with technology startups. This year, the GIA Award has broadened its goals by opening up new horizons in the Middle East. GenerationS receives requests from businesses and the government to evaluate and identify the best approaches to managing innovation in companies in the United Arab Emirates to enhance international cooperation and promote stronger and more extensive scientific and technological cooperation with the Middle East.
Maxim Kolesnikov
Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation
The priorities of Russian business continue to change with the structural transformation of the economy: companies are focused on developing internal innovations, including technological innovations, in order to achieve long-term goals. Last year's GIA Award showcased successful cases that many companies have already reflected in their innovation strategy. This year's GIA Award will bring together not only the best corporations but also the leading countries — Russia and the UAE. I am certain that a strong partnership between the Russian Ministry of Economic Development and the GenerationS platform will help to highlight the best corporate innovation industry practices for further replication and strengthen international technological cooperation.
Vasily Osmakov
First Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation
Growth in innovation activity is a prerequisite for achieving technological sovereignty in industry. The GIA Award helps to unite the efforts of government and business in this area and to understand how quickly and effectively our companies are adapting to change. Just as important is the subsequent exchange of best corporate practices with partners from friendly countries, including the Middle East. Implementing such programs will help Russian companies enter new markets and find industry partners. The 2023 GIA Award has already shown the best examples of innovation. This year we expect even more participants, new exciting projects and successful innovative partnerships.
Denis Sekirinsky
Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation
As part of the Decade of Science and Technology, our priority is to attract young people to science and advanced technology. Therefore, an initiative such as the GenerationS Innovation Award for the development of corporate innovations meets today’s needs and promotes the involvement of young people in science, disseminates knowledge about scientists and their developments and strengthens the role of science and technology in solving key development challenges for society and the country.
