The results of accepting applications for the competition
Web Ready 2011 . 579 applications were filed, which is a third more compared to 2010. Does this mean that Internet business is becoming more and more popular in Russia ?! We were interested in analyzing projects. As a result, we learned which direction is becoming popular for start-ups, from which cities most of the projects, which universities need to go to help the project in development and which specialty to get.
Leaders among the cities that represent Internet startups are still St. Petersburg and Moscow (175 and 123 applications, respectively). But their share of the total number of applications this year has decreased. If in 2010, from two capitals 61% of all applications were filed, in this - 51%. Due to this, the share of Internet projects from the rest of Russia increased significantly.
The third place in the number of applications was taken by Novosibirsk - 25, which showed the most significant growth, with the exception of St. Petersburg, compared with last year (+20 applications), followed by Ekaterinburg - 23 (+15) and Perm - 23 (+17) .
