The Board of Directors reviewed information on the planned amount of investment in research work and technology upgrading from 2011 through 2015 and on Gazprom’s venture fund for innovative technologies.

In January 2010 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued orders to build up innovative activities and raise the technology development level in the companies with state participation.

R&D financing proposals related to the above mentioned fields will be incorporated in Gazprom’s 2011 budget.

Moreover, it is planned to involve Gazprom’s venture fund for innovative technologies in large R&D projects financing.

The pilot portfolio of the fund consists of nine projects aimed at new equipment designing for the key gas production and transmission facilities scheduled for construction or reconstruction within 3 to 7 years.
