Innovation Guide
GenerationS is a corporate accelerator which helps Russian and international companies find their innovation core through various activities and joint initiatives discovering opportunities beneficial for startups as well as for corporations. We are the bridge that connects startups with clients in the ICT field as well as in other fields.
Startup scouting is the main part of GenerationS activity, but not the only one. Apart from that we do have the whole Alumni Club, that’s how we call startups that successfully passed an acceleration stage. These might be startups at pretty early stage as well as SME with sales. We try to provide them all kind of support, starting from useful network and PR finishing possible sources of investments and programs where they can find new clients.
Regarding startups from the abroad – based on our partner’s requests we also scout startups outside of Russia and once they are selected for further stage, we do provide them assistance and dedicated mentors (from our accelerators that are focal points for them before contract is signed). We do explain them the key aspects of Russian legislations, conduct calls and clarifying sessions and help them and the partner to build the most productive form of cooperation.
When it comes to our unique point which differs us from other accelerators - despite being an accelerator, which deals on a year basis with pretty big amount of startups we really manage to find individual approach to each one of them and build strong bond, which lasts long after the accelerator is over. That means a lot to us.
State your goals.
Programs implemented by GenerationS help to transform the whole industries and give a path to the most promising startups in the ICT field to grow their business, find their clients and new markets. GenerationS provides all kind of support in reaching these goals.
What problems (particularly in value chain competitiveness and global disruption) are your community’s stakeholders facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic?
Current situation showed the need of quick digital transformation for all the sectors and all types of companies. We help our main stakeholders - the corporates to foster digital transformation which is certainly driver to become more resilient and to increase the competitiveness level. In particular, COVID-19 revealed that many companies need TRL 6-7 ICT solutions that will help them to reach that goal and improve business processes.
What minimum viable solution(s) are you proposing to address the challenge(s) in your community?
Our minimum solution is to scout and accelerate ICT and other startup-projects (russian and foreign) to bridge them with large corporations, international and russian.

They all are also looking for various ICT solutions that can help to improve the processes and industry in general.

Hi Galina, congratulations on your success so far. Can you please clarify, do you assist international startups with entering the Russian market, or Russian startups looking to expand internationally, or both?
What is your "unique selling point"? (e.g. how do you differentiate yourself from other accelerator programs in Russia.
As an ecosystem builder it's important that you know exactly who you are aiming to help and support specifically, otherwise you risk being just another startup accelerator.
