Reiman said such global technology leaders as Intel, IBM, Siemens and Boeing had opened offices in Russia in the six months since the president met influential figures from the scientific community in Novosibirsk (Siberia) to discuss the establishment of IT-parks in Russia.
"Therefore, one of the tasks set then has been accomplished," Reiman said.
The minister also said that one IT-park would be established in St. Petersburg at the Bonch-Bruevich Electro-Technical Institute.
Reiman also informed the president that St. Petersburg Governor Valentina Matvienko had allocated 54 hectares of land on the city limits, the design had been selected after a special competition and a tender for the construction contract was now being held. According to him, Western companies have also said they intend to invest in the creation of the IT-park and work there afterward.
The minister also said that the Moscow region Governor Boris Gromov had allocated land for the construction of an IT-park and that work to prepare the necessary documents was under way. According to Reiman, the IT-park will be constructed at a local institute in Dubna, which is in the north of the Moscow region.
Novosibirsk and the Nizhny Novgorod region (in the Volga Federal District) will build their own IT-parks as well, Reiman said.
