During the course of the intensive course, they tighten up and find new growth points: for example, more than 200 projects have entered the pipeline of industrial customers and investors. The results of the centenary foresight showed the importance and relevance of environmental issues. I can say with confidence that the proposals developed on the Green Economy track will become part of the ASI Strategy. The archipelago gave a new impetus to the work of the National Social Initiative, which is already being implemented in 75 regions,” said Svetlana Chupsheva.
She also noted that the designed technological solutions on the New School track have already been presented to the Ministry of Education, and the participants of the Social Projects track have presented a number of ideas on health conservation, preventive medicine, and the formation of a healthy lifestyle culture.
“I see a huge potential in this direction, we will work out each of the presented projects. Colleagues, I hope that the Archipelago has become an opportunity for you to learn something, build communications, and outline plans for the future. I note that a resource of such intensive can be used for the needs of a particular region. For example, today the head of the Novosibirsk region came up with an initiative to hold a similar intensive in their region, and we are ready to support this initiative,” said the general director of ASI.
