“Today, any state, any modern organization is based on three components. The first is the high-quality implementation of existing technologies and what has been achieved. The second is the continuous improvement of technologies, bringing them to the absolute level. And the third is the vision of the future by researchers who are constantly reinventing what the basis of any business model or the existence of the state as such is based on today. And this third component is the most interesting and important. There is no future without her. If there is no science, then there can be no modern education. Only the combination of science and education provides vision and prepares specialists of the future. And any state, any company can say that they have a future only if they have a powerful intellectual component that tries to look beyond the horizon,” said German Gref.
