Fifth Annual Review Russian Technology Parks - 2019_eng

Specialized services include:
• Providing specialized equipment to residents;
• Engineering services;
• Financial services, including financial mediation services;
• Managing IP rights;
• Consulting in commercial management and business
management;
• GR consulting in grant funding;
• Market research;
• Education and training services;
• Technology services;
• Export services;
• Business acceleration programs for residents.
The indicator is determined by dividing the number of services from
the lists above provided to residents (+1 if other services are provided) by
the maximum number of services from the list provided in a technology
park participating in the rating.
4.3 Regional tax preferences for technology park residents and other
forms of regional support, yes/no
This indicator determines whether technology parks are supported
in the region with tax preferences and other means of support according
to the regional legal framework. Technology parks situated in the regions
with support measures established by law receive 0,1 points, others
get 0 points. Tax preferences include income tax, property tax, land tax
SUB-INDEX S5
INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY OF THE
TECHNOLOGY PARK AND ITS
CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
This sub-index allows to estimate the conditions created by managing
company to facilitate sustainable development of the region where the
technology park is created including stimulation of small and medium
enterprises, regional human capital development etc.
The sub-index “Information transparency of the technology park
and its contribution to sustainable development” includes 3 composite
indicators:
preferences for technology park residents. This indicator does not take into
account regional preferential rental rates for technology park residents.
Sub-index “Investment attractiveness of the technology park” is
calculated using the following mathematical expression:
s
F i
Z i
S +
4
= /2 + Y i
avg
s
avg
; where:
S 4
– the value of the sub-index “Investment attractiveness of the
technology park”;
F – availability of infrastructure for collective use, points;
Z – availability of services for technology park residents, point;
Y – regional tax preferences for technology park residents and other
forms of regional support, yes/no;
avg – average value of the indicator calculated from the data received
from technology parks participating in the rating;
s – degree of transformation;
i – indicator of the evaluated technology park.
5.1 Information transparency of the technology park, points
In order to estimate this indicator, technology park websites are
evaluated by 38 respondents according to 16 criteria. For each criteria
technology parks receive points. The indicator is calculated the average
value of all points received by technology park.
5.2 Availability of career guidance infrastructure and/or programs,
yes/no
This indicator determines whether the territory of technology park
includes objects (children technology park, career guidance center etc.)
and/or programs realized by the managing company for providing career
guidance to children/students/youth. If technology park has such facilities/
programs it receives 0,1 points, if it has not – 0 points.
5.3 Preferential conditions for residents, yes/no
This indicator determines whether all or some of technology
park residents are provided with spaces, equipment or services under
preferential conditions (the cost is lower than the average for the market).
In case there are such conditions in the technology park, it receives 0,1
points, if there are not – 0 points.
The sub-index “Information transparency of the technology park
and its contribution to sustainable development” is calculated using the
following mathematical expression:
S 4
=
avg
+ B i
+ C i
; where:
S 4
– the value of the sub-index “Information transparency of the
technology park and its contribution to sustainable development”;
A – information transparency of the technology park, points;
B – availability of career guidance infrastructure and/or programs, yes/
no;
C – preferential conditions for residents, yes/no;
avg – average value of the indicator calculated from the data received
from technology parks participating in the rating;
i – indicator of the evaluated technology park.
Integral index is calculated using the following mathematical
expression:
I = S 1
+ S 2
+ S 3
+ S 4
+ S 5
I – integral rating index;
; where:
S 1
– the value of the sub-index “Innovation activity of technology
park’s residents”;
S 2
– the value of the sub-index “Economic performance of technology
park’s residents”;
S 3
– the value of the sub-index “Operational efficiency of technology
park’s managing company”;
S 4
– the value of the sub-index “Investment attractiveness of the
technology park”;
Integral index of each Russian technology park is calculated as a sum
of points received in each sub-index.
Interpretation of quantitative estimates of technology park’s
operational efficiency obtained as a result of calculations using the
described methodology is to be done using technology park efficiency
classification.
To consider the specificities of Russian technology parks’ operation
efficiency it is recommended to group technology parks by their integral
efficiency level. The grouping is based on the following scale:
Group I (A+) – “Highest level of technology park operation efficiency” –
higher than 110% with the Russian average level taken as 100%;
Group II (A) – “High level of technology park operation efficiency” –
from 100% to 109%;
Group III (B) – “Moderately high level of technology park operation
efficiency” – from 90% to 99%.
Group IV (C) – “Sufficient level of technology park operation efficiency”
– from 60% to 89%.
