Government Offices May Move to Russia's Silicon Valley

During the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, President Medvedev promoted the idea of moving government offices out of the center of Moscow. Among the eight sites currently being considered for new government offices is Skolkovo, Russia's version of Silicon Valley and the brainchild of Medvedev. The Skolkovo hub is host to scientific and production centers specializing in energy, IT, telecommunications, biomedicine and nuclear tecnology, and a wide range of international companies have been granted resident status in Skolkovo. According to experts working on the relocation project, Skolkovo is now a favorite for the relocation, along with Domodedovo.
