Russia’s R&D Sector has six main challenges the country needs to resolve if it is to be a world leader in technology:

  1. A shortage of innovators with business skills
  2. Insufficient domestic business opportunities
  3. Problems in the country’s research and education sectors
  4. Insufficient investment
  5. A hostile business environment
  6. Until recently little government support

Russia, today, has a great number of past and current technological achievements, of which to be proud. Such Russian achievements include the AK-47 assault rifle, the Soyuz rockets and Eugene Kaspersky’s world beating anti-virus software.
