Implementing the EU-Russia Innovation Corridor

The long-term objective is to develop the current regional innovation and modernization platform into an innovation corridor with global impact. This will be facilitated on the political level by:

• A Dialogue on Innovation in the short term
• A Common Space for Innovation and Technology under the new Agreement
• A Common Framework for Innovation Policy between the EU and Russia
• A concrete, large-scale Cooperation Program under the Modernization Partnership
• A dedicated program on territorial cooperation in the strategic fields of innovation and technology between the EU and Russia for the duration of 2013-2020

From a practical perspective, ERICO will serve as a hub for EU-Russia cooperation in the field of innovation and provide the necessary facilities, technical skills and business services for local and foreign businesses to successfully generate and transfer knowledge.
