Implementation of a platform solution for project management automation in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Russian Universities

One of the most promising areas for ensuring the technological sovereignty of the Russian Federation is involvement of university students and young researchers in technological entrepreneurship. A startup studio – a startup factory that focuses on the mass production of new high-tech companies – seems to be an effective direction for increasing the “convertibility” of business ideas based on HEI developments into an operating business. This research examines an “AS-IS” architecture model of a university startup studio for the first post-launch year as a part of the Russian federal project. In the “TO-BE” model, the authors show that the implementation of a project management platform across the net of Russian university startup studios may increase the potential of transferring technologies form universities to a much vaster application in business.
