"If one were to stack up 1 billion dollars, the stack would be about 1 kilometer high. At the present time, Russia has several high-tech venture funds whose monetary “stack value” is higher than Everest. At the same time, a small university startup project has no viable venue to present its technology to a community of like-minded individuals. Fortunately for us, United States Civilian Research and Development Foundation (U.S. CRDF) had taken an active interest in our projects via its experts in Siberia and financed our students’ trip to Silicon Valley. We hope that our participation in SVOD 2009 will help us to commercialize our projects. Our heartfelt Thank You goes to U.S.CRDF and SVOD!”
