"All questions brought up during discussions are extremely actual for the enterprises working in the sphere of innovative business. It is very important that the Forum gives not only theoretical knowledge of specificity of innovative industry, but also helps to establish useful business contacts."

"Participants of the Forum actively discussed real innovators’ problems, and officials of region took into account all remarks they were told. Thus, constructive dialogue has taken place."

"It is my first visit to Russia and I have to admit: when I went to Nizhny Novgorod, I was a bit skeptical about the development of innovative business in the Russian Federation. Here, at this Forum, I began to look with optimism at the russian innovative market prospects. This market can be compared to a flywheel which is developed hardly owing to the big territory of the country. That’s why such a way of strengthening interactions between elements of an innovative infrastructure is extremely important. Especially I liked round tables, when participants of the Forum had possibility to exchange opinions."

"The Forum «Innovation for business» is close to real life and far from theatricality. The discussion was organized on a high level: from the classical form «presentations + 2 questions from audience» dialog spontaneously developed into a round table where everybody could express his/her opinion. Marchmont has so warmed up audience that from official definitions and vast discussions participants of the Forum have decided to concrete practical actions. Eventually I want to say it would be desirable to see at the Forum of more representatives of the government, but not the first persons – experts, with whom representatives of innovative business usually contact."

"Such conferences cover the most critical gaps in a chain of commercialization and help to develop mechanisms of overcoming of these difficulties."
