OREANDA-NEWS. March 13, 2012. Nowadays none of the existing educational institutions is able to face new challenges and prepare entrepreneurs (less than 3% of western business-schools’ graduates starts their own business). At that early stage entrepreneurs who can transform ideas in a commercial business make about 6% of a country’s population.

In the world there are single one-of-a-kind platforms for purposeful incubation of new entrepreneurial ideas, projects and people. However there are no successful examples referring to the countries with emerging markets that provide project support at all stages of the innovation cycle, from idea elaboration to its implementation.

SKOLKOVO challenges itself with formation of a special environment and creation of an infrastructure that will make it possible, on the one hand, to successfully implement entrepreneurial initiatives and, on the other hand, to form demand on research and educational products of the school.

That's why Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO has launched a new project - an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.
