• Structuring the program to allow its implementation based on PPP
• Advising on intellectual property issues of the development and implementation of the digital platform
• Negotiated and documented the agreement between our client and the Russian Ministry of Education regulating their cooperation during the first stage of the project (the pilot project in ten regions of Russia)

Result

The new program will allow comprehending the school program faster and in addition, will improve the development of technical and communication skills of children which the current program lacks. This program will replace the current education system in Russia. If successful, it will be rolled out in all schools in Russia which wish to join the program. As part of this project, 10,000 public schools in Russia will be renovated and obtain new equipment to fit the new program; over one million teachers will undergo training.
