Cooperation with science, technology park Skolkovo in digitalisation of Serbian health system

Belgrade, 17 February 2021

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic talked today with the delegation of the Science and Technology Park Skolokovo from Moscow, led by the President of the Skolkovo Foundation Arkady Dvorkovich, about further forms of cooperation, one of which is digitalisation of Serbian health system.

After the meeting with this delegation in the Science and Technology Park Belgrade, Brnabic stated that this delegation accepted to be involved in the further development of the start-up strategy on the ecosystem.

The Serbian government has set up a working group to develop the strategy, which is made up of experts. We are now including Skolkovo, she pointed out, assessing that it is a pillar of Serbia's development.

According to her, our cooperation with Skolkovo began in 2015, when Aleksandar Vucic visited that science and technology park as Prime Minister, and in January 2019, during the visit of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to Serbia, a cooperation agreement was signed.

The Prime Minister reminded that she visited Skolkovo a year ago and that since then our start-up companies have become part of their educational programme in order to have a chance on the Russian market.

Brnabic emphasised that it is a great honour for her to have the opportunity to host a delegation from one of the best research centres in the world.

President of the Skolkovo Foundation Arkady Dvorkovich said that there is great potential for cooperation with Russia in Serbia.

We hope that we will set up the same system in Serbia as in Russia, and maybe even better. Some markets are not very open for Russia, and that is why I am very optimistic about our future cooperation, he said.
