As part took place in Moscow All-Russian Innovation Forum "Russia! Forward" and III National Youth Innovation Convention the “Russian superconductor Corporation” was officially granted the status of a member of the innovation center Skolkovo.

Corresponding entry entered in the register of members of the project under number 005. Evidence of the first participants of the project during a ceremony presented by the President of the Foundation for development and commercialization of new technologies Center “Skolkovo” Viktor Vekselberg.

The company announced the implementation of the project "Superconducting industry” within the Innovation Centre, which includes the development of the second generation high-temperature superconductors and its applications for power, electrified transport and industry. The introduction of superconductivity in the energy sector will significantly reduce the loss of electricity in its production, transportation, distribution and consumption, improve the quality of power supply, reduce material consumption on electrical equipment, improve reliability and fire Security. All of these effects ultimately lead to lower electricity costs. The project of "Russian superconductor" entered into the cluster "Energy efficiency". In total, the "first wave" in the “Skolkovo” foundation was adopted on 16 organizations that have declared promising innovative projects.

Viktor Vekselberg, awarding the first members of the project to create the Innovation Center, said: “Your success will determine the success of the project Skolkovo”.

A day earlier Foundation Skolkovo and Rosatom signed a memorandum of cooperation. The Director-General of the state corporation, Sergei Kiriyenko said that Rosatom will propose an innovative center Skolkovo energy options through the superconducting technology and devices that may find application in energy supply of the innovative center Skolkovo.

As the general director of the “Russian superconductor corporation”, Alexander Katsay said, “The adoption of the company among the first members of Skolkovo reflects the appreciation of both the proposed project, a highly relevant and promising for the country's energy sector, as well as those results of research and development, which the company together with a number of organizations of Rosatom and other agencies had made to date. The interest in applied superconductivity for power is growing worldwide and the timely development and launch of the branch program Rosatom on high-temperature superconductivity few years ago, in fact, identified the prospects of this sector in the country. Since 2011, our company will begin a series of new developments of superconducting equipment for power generation and transportation, while we have formed a fairly strong co-operation, which has a cross-sectoral nature ", - A.Katsay.
