RWM Capital Asset Management and National Research University “Higher School of Economics” (HSE) held the ceremony of awarding the winners of Open Contest of Innovative Projects – 2013. Certificates and promotional gifts were presented to the project teams by Anastasia Tyurina, the General Director of Innovation Center of Higher School of Economics LLC, and Felix Blinov, the Managing Director of RWM Capital Asset Management. The winners awarding ceremony was held as part of one of most prestigious awards in the Russian information technologies society - Startup of the Year.
“As part of our work on special-purpose capital management we communicate with higher education institutions from Yakutsk to Saint Petersburg and we see an objective problem: higher education institutions have no modern technologies allowing effective fundraising development,” - said Felix Blinov at the ceremony. – “Working with venture projects we encountered another problem - not all but just a few ideas change into a functioning business, especially if such ideas relate to any separate highly specialized sector. To solve these problems we assigned grants for development of business plans for projects aimed at increase and enhancement of fundraising technologies.”
“I want to thank our colleagues from HSE for rendered support and partnership. Our grants were declared within a big event of Higher School of Economics - Contest of innovative projects within the program Fund in Support of Innovative Ventures. Over 80 applications were submitted to the contest. We found a lot of interesting ideas. With some of them we will continue our work. “
“I want to thank particularly the organizers of today Startup of the Year award ceremony for the provided opportunity to hold our small event in a solemn but very vigorous atmosphere. I am convinced that it was also interesting and useful for all our winners to be caught up by pleasant events, to see real success stories and to receive one more incentive for development and growth.”
