Russia recognizes that it is still impossible to create a ‘Silicon Valley’ in Crimea. The Russian Foundation for the Development of Internet Initiatives (FRII) could not find people willing to participate in the promotion of new projects in this area, the spokesperson of the Foundation Maria Lapuk said.
"We did not run the accelerator in Crimea, as it has not found the required number of start-ups. We still continue to work in Crimea together with the local incubator. Also, our experts are involved in local activities, such as those that take place on June 24-26 in the Crimean IT -School, where our head of acceleration programs will participate," News.allcrimea.net. quotes him as saying.
