To begin with, I would like to note what this loud word “technopark” means. Here is an excerpt from wikipedia:
Technopark is a special territory where research and development organizations, industry facilities, business centers, exhibition sites, educational institutions, and service facilities: means of transport, access roads, residential village, security are combined. The point of creating a technopark is to concentrate specialists of a general profile of activity on a single territory. Scientists can conduct research at scientific research institutes here, teach in schools and participate in the process of implementing the results of their research into life.
And now a little background on the creation of technology parks. The most famous and largest technopark in the world is considered to be Silicone Valley. It was there that gathered a huge number of companies that are engaged in a variety of activities. Of course, for example, in Silicon Valley you can see such well-known companies like: Asus, Adobe Systems, AMD, Apple, eBay, Electronic Arts, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, NVIDIA, Oracle Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Symantec, Yahoo, Xerox and this list is far from complete.

The idea of creating technology parks in Russia came from Vladimir Putin when he returned from Bangalore, a technology park in India. After that, a state program was developed to create 10 technology parks in the territory of the Russian Federation by 2010. Dubna, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaluga, Chernogolovka, Mordovia, Novosibirsk and Kemerovo - these were the cities where technological parks should have been created. Now 2009, the government allocated 7 billion rubles, but technology parks have not been created. What's the matter? And the problem is that every city involved in the construction of a technopark had its own point of view on its structure. For example, in some technoparks expocenters, hotels, in some cases even cemeteries and other objects that have no direct relation to technoparks were built.
In addition, the world economic crisis is now in full swing, and former Russian President Vladimir Putin had an interest in creating technology parks, and the current government already has enough worries. The creation project can be considered failed, but nevertheless the government decided to make a second attempt and postpone the creation of technology parks until 2014. Technopark financing will be cut by a third. Perhaps now it would be appropriate to analyze the experience of the nearest neighbor - Belarus, in whose territory there is already something similar to a technology park, which already has more than 100 companies.
