The Natinonal Technology Group (NTG) CJSC was established in April 2006. The Company looks for and selects innovation projects to be developed up to marketreadiness, creates "start-up" companies and performs other kinds of science and process solution commercialization activities. Furthermore, we are engaged in scientific and technical consulting. Since its establishment, the Company has brought more than 15 innovation projects up to start-up stage. As of now, these projects are at different stages of their development - from pilot design to commissioning. We have built NTG Registry of Innovation Technology - a database which includes data on about 12000 technologies and inventions. We also issue Internet-magazine "Science and Technology Development Bulletin".
The primary goal of the National Technology Group is to encourage in achieving a breakthrough in the area of substantial novelties.
Company’s strategy is to gain a considerable share of innovation market (up to 10% by 2010) via selection of intellectual property objects, their transformation into high-value projects and market promotion through engineering marketing.
The Company is headed by Professor Vitaly Krupenin, PhD, Doctor of Engineering, Corresponding Member of RANS.
How We Work
Services rendered by our Company fit in a two-way pattern of doing business:
· Work "to order" – identification of potential customers of innovation technology and fulfillment of their orders;
· Work "for sale" – search, evaluation, selection of innovation technologies and their transformation into high-profit investment projects.

“To-order” process includes innovation and engineering consulting services. The working procedure allows to identify demands for innovations based on accurate forecast, find solutions meeting these demands and establish link between developer and customer.
"For-sale" process includes project analysis, evaluation and preparation for startup and sale.
To solve these tasks the Company has all necessary staff and financial resources, managerial and business experience.

Innovation
Project
Center
The
Innovation
Project
Center considers technologies in terms of their commercial prospects, once they have been given a favorable opinion by the NTG Expert Council. The main criteria of technology evaluation are innovation life-cycle stage, availability of growing market of innovation products, intellectual property protection, venture project financial magnitudes.
Based on those technologies and solutions for which a substantial market potential is available, “start-up” companies are created in order to start-up high-technology business.
The
Innovation
Project
Center has a wide network of partners – investors, industrialists and experts in different areas. We conduct our business relying on collaboration not only with business circles but also with local authorities. The Center in headed by Dmitry Volkov, Director.
To Investors’ Attention
The National Technology Group CJSC calls attention of investment institutions (banks, special foundations, private investors etc.) to a great number of high-quality innovation projects which could produce profits to investors and help give an impetus to the economy of .
We propose different forms of cooperation to our investors – from establishment of joint enterprises including "start up" companies involved in a single specific high-technology project to acquisition of "as-is" technologies at different stages of their life – from design development to pilot production lot.
Collaboration with NTG CJSC will help you to establish mutually beneficial relationship with companies – members of the Royal Group – that are interested in being involved in promising investment projects.
Project Management
We select projects and prepare them for funds raising using our intracorporate method of project management.
1. At the early stage inventor’s claim for an invention is submitted to NTG Expert Council for consideration. Expert examination of the claim comprises two phases – technical and commercial.
Scientific and technical examination is meant to judge fundamental operability, technical soundness and exploitability of the invention.
Commercial (business-) examination is performed to evaluate business potential of the invention, as well as to assess substantial risks.
2. Upon getting a favorable appraisal from NTG Expert Council, the Project is documented in a text form with detailed description of the innovation commercialization mechanism.
3. At the third stage, partners (parties of interest) are involved in the Project. The project starts up, provided that there are partnership relations between the following business agents: owner of production site (once this asset is critical for the Project), distributor/vendor and investor. This “minimum” set of key partners allows to increase significantly the probability of Project success.
4. Upon completion of all preparatory work, the Project implementation stage begins.
5. At the final stage of the Project, closing procedure is carried out and the results are documented.
