It's time to make money with your mind!

We at Opera love innovation — and not just those born in our company. The Internet is the environment where innovation is most important today, and so it turns out that it is here that they find the most fertile ground for being realized. However, implementation, as is well known, requires money, and the more “innovative” an innovation is, the more complex and multifaceted it is, the more it is needed.

We sincerely want the decent “Internet” ideas to get a chance to be embodied in the form of really working web services and applications. That is why we decided to support the open competition of innovative projects in the field of Internet technologies “Web Ready”, organized by the Business Incubator Ingria and supported by the Administration of St. Petersburg. Opera Software acts as an organizational partner, and, in addition, company representative Vadim Makeev (aka pepelsbey) as part of the jury of this competition will participate in the selection of the eight best projects that will compete in the final round on December 17.

Starting entrepreneurs, authors of innovative ideas and leaders of projects in the field of Internet technologies are invited to participate in Web Ready. Moreover, the competition allowed for projects in the early stages of development, and development, which already have a prototype and the planned time to market.
