About the Foundation

We have 9 years record of successful activity in the field of High-Tech promoting Russian R&D potential and innovations to Global Industries. IFTI launched over 350 R&D projects in variety of scientific areas such as theoretical physics and mathematics, computer aided engineering, mathematical modeling, fine chemistry, chemical technology, biotechnology, pharmacology, material engineering and many others. Our projects engaged more than 9000 scientists and engineers from different regions of Russia.

Helping Foreign and Domestic organizations to identify relevant R&D groups and facilitate research projects we gained valuable and trustworthy partners among dozens of high-tech companies, public organizations, best Russian R&D institutions and groups of scientists.

One of our most valuable achievements over the years is creation of a team of professional managers and specialists capable of executing sophisticated research and engineering tasks.

We also succeeded in an ambitious experiment aimed at creation of mechanism to incubate innovative businesses based on unique Russian innovations. Activity of IFTI gave birth to a special management company (Bureau of Innovation Projects Management) focusing on identification of unique technologies and business opportunities as well as providing professional management service to seed and startup high-tech companies. As a result of its activity 22 high-tech companies in such areas as Homeland security solutions, Pharma&Biotech and IT were started.

We are proud of first successful enterprises incubated by Bureau of Innovation Projects Management. Two companies producing Homeland Security devices entered recently local and global markets with innovative highly competitive products.  In cooperation with leading organic chemistry R&D institutes we launched first commercial GLP toxicology testing facility in Russia. It will be an important infrastructure unit for development of new effective pharmaceuticals.   

During years of operations our team gained knowledge and experience how to use brilliant science for solution of challenging tasks and convert unique innovations into profitable businesses. We share our knowledge with existing Partners and are eager to do it with the new Partners who seek business opportunities on the emerging innovation market in Russia.

We are always open to new ideas.
