On June 23, ISTC co-organised and hosted the S&T session within the framework of the Canada-Russia Business Summit held in Moscow. The business and governmental delegation from Canada were joined by Russian governmental officials as well as scientists and experts from a number of prestigious science institutes in Russia to participate in discussions that focused on the biotech and energy sectors, as well as on opportunities for R&D cooperation between Canada and Russia. ISTC presented the services that are available to Canadian companies wishing to engage in R&D development in Russia, and detailed the new $40,000 co-funding initiative that is available to private Canadian companies on beginning their first ISTC project. The event was coorganised by the Embassy of Canada in Russia.
