«Мы убеждены, что развитие предпринимательства, поддержка научно-исследовательской  деятельности, разработка и коммерциализация перспективных технологий лежат в основе модернизации экономики, освобождения от сырьевой зависимости. Очевидно, что подобные преобразования можно осуществить только сообща, в тесном сотрудничестве крупнейших игроков рынка и молодых инновационных компаний. Мы уверены в том, что опыт таких технологических лидеров, как Cisco, может быть полезен в решении перечисленных задач, и именно поэтому для нас важно участие в Индустриальном консультативном совете, организованном по инициативе Сколково» - Павел Бетсис, Руководитель бизнеса корпорации Cisco в России и других странах СНГ»
