NEGLINKA FINANCE participated in the 13th International Forum for Technological Entrepreneurship Startup Village 2025, held at the Skolkovo Innovation Center with the support of the Moscow Government, VEB.RF, and the Moscow Innovation Cluster (MIC).

The scale of the event was impressive: over 16,000 participants from 43 countries, 72 business sessions, and 368 speakers, including investors, academics, and representatives of public authorities. This year, special attention was paid to technological sovereignty, the transformation of venture financing, and startup access to public markets.

Key topics — from pilot projects to Pre-IPO

Forum sessions focused on practical mechanisms for supporting innovative companies — from acceleration programs and pilot implementations within large corporations to Pre-IPO practices as a transition stage before listing. Representatives from Sovcombank, VTB, the Moscow Venture Fund, and other development institutions emphasized the market’s growing demand for mature technology projects ready to scale.

NEGLINKA FINANCE took an active part in the business program, showcasing its solutions in deal structuring, cross-border settlement services, and investment instruments tailored for startups and investors operating in high-risk markets.

Strengthening our position in the innovation ecosystem

The company’s team held meetings with technology businesses, accelerators, and development institutions to discuss how to adapt financial products to the needs of growth-stage startups. Special attention was given to financial engineering in a volatile venture capital environment.

The forum also highlighted the increasing role of regional innovation programs, notably the "TechnoVostok 2030" initiative aimed at the development of the Russian Far East. According to the organizers, more than 300 applications have already been submitted for support through the Skolkovo Foundation and its partners.

Numbers that speak for themselves

According to MIC’s report, since 2019, more than 185,000 new companies have been established in Moscow, with approximately 2,900 classified as startups. One-third of these projects have shown annual growth of over 20% in key performance indicators. The total revenue of the market leaders exceeded RUB 452 billion, with average profit per project surpassing RUB 108 million. The most promising sectors included corporate software (19%), industry (10%), marketing (8%), EdTech, and digital health (7% each).

NEGLINKA FINANCE extends its gratitude to the organizers of Startup Village 2025 for providing such a productive platform and remains open to new partnerships in the field of technological entrepreneurship.
