The TechUspekh rating forms a model and sets standards for the selection of promising technology companies with a high potential for leadership in the Russian and global markets.

The development of partnerships between rating participants and industrial holdings is an important task. As a result of such cooperation, synergy arises, which opens up additional growth opportunities for both large business and medium-sized high-tech companies, "said Mikhail Antonov, Deputy General Director - Director for Development of RVC Innovation Infrastructure.
The TechUspekh rating is formed by RVC since 2012 and is focused on finding, monitoring and promoting fast-growing technology companies with high leadership potential both in the Russian and global markets.
