The Creative Capital Index research project produced by Calvert 22 Foundation with PwC Russia studies twelve Russian cities, drawing on the results of Russian and global studies of creative industries and innovative economy.

In this report, the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia analyzes levels of innovation activity of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation based on the Ranking of Innovative Regions, with particular attention given to regions that are members of the Association.

The Ratings of socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, presented by the RIA Ratings agency, provide data on regional development in Russia. Regional ratings can serve as a tool for assessing investment appeal of the regions or as a reference point for identifying problems and finding solutions to them.

Until recently, every entrepreneur decided for themselves whether or not to be socially responsible. Yet the situation has changed dramatically over the past couple of years, with Russian businesses expected to be actively involved in the country’s social and public agenda. And businesses are ready to meet these expectations.
