“Great potential in Bashkortostan is concentrated at the institutes and you have to use it by 100%. Two innovational enterprises at UGATU are not enough, you must have 20-25” – Anatoly Chubais said – “At the same time you have to know how to promote your ideas and wares from commercial point of view”.
