The Round Table “AEB-Skolkovo Partnership” organized by AEB Machine Building & Engineering Committee and the AEB Working Group on Modernization and Innovation facilitated the discussion of what it really means to be Skolkovo’s foreign partner. The meeting was chaired by Philippe Pegorier, Member of the AEB Board, Chairman of the AEB Committee on Machine Building and Engineering, President Alstom Russia and Mikhail Akim, Chairman of the AEB Working Group on Modernization and Innovations, Director of Strategic Development, ABB Russia.

The AEB partners gave a general overview of the Skolkovo project and led the discussion on the possibilities for cooperation which proved to be lively and informative. Besides that, representatives of the AEB members (Martin Gitsels, Head of Corporate Technology Department, Siemens Russia and Dmitry Shulga, Vice-President, Governmental Affairs & External Relations, Schneider Electric) shared their companies’ experiences as residents of Skolkovo. The meeting provided a unique opportunity to get first-hand information and will certainly give thought to some of the AEB members to join their colleagues from Alstom, Schneider Electric and Siemens in this new experience.
