Meeting of Supervisory Board
Dmitry Medvedev’s introductory remarks
Dmitry Medvedev: We are holding a meeting of our Supervisory Board today, on the eve of the 8th anniversary of the school. The Moscow School of Management has become an example of a successful start-up, at least for Russian standards.
Since 2006, over 10,000 people have attended the school’s various education programmes, with 622 of them completing diploma programmes. The MBA and Executive MBA programmes were initially the most popular, with 124 and 293 graduates, respectively.
The school’s own programme, the Skolkovo Start-Up Academy, has become popular recently. It was launched in June 2012 and features programmes for accelerating a project or starting a new business. It has seen 127 graduates.

All this shows that the public is getting more interested in the school, and by launching new programmes, you help to increase the competitiveness of this new education option.
Meeting of Supervisory Board
The Moscow School of Management employs business representatives and features unique space for a constructive, civilised dialogue with foreign business and academic elites, develops new products and new technologies, and improves the social environment. Perhaps today we value all of this even more than we did a year ago.
The school currently works with 150 professors from the world’s leading business schools. Among the invited lectors are experts from various countries, from Spain to China. It’s very important, I’d say, critical for the school to attract foreign professionals.

I’m confident that they will appreciate this experience as well, because the school provides a very different environment than what they’re used to. Any kind of exchange creates the best opportunities for self-improvement and simply enriches the experience of any person.
I really believe that
the project has worked out well, but still needs additional development and, I
have to say, support from the Government.
