“Historically, in different countries there are different systems of geographical mobility of the population. Somewhere people change several cities during their life, while others live in one place all their lives. And the matter is not in the mentality, but in the organization of business processes in society: the process of selling and buying housing, socializing the family in a new place, and so on. Innopolis was conceived as a system in which all these problems have already been solved, ” said Yegor Ivanov, mayor of Innopolis.
