The Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF) ((ロシア語:''Фонд развития интернет-инициатив'')) is a Russian venture capital fund established by the ''Agency for Strategic Initiatives'' at the suggestion of Vladimir Putin. The Foundation invests in technology companies in the early stages of development, develops a network of start-up accelerators, and is involved in the development of methods of legal regulation of the venture industry. Since 2013, IIDF has been the most active investment fund in Russia. According to the Dow Jones report, IIDF was ranked first in Europe by the number of transactions in the first quarter of 2014. By April 4, 2015, the fund has financed 150 projects, including 104 deals in 2014. IIDF is planning to invest 6 billion roubles in 400 companies by 2017. Kirill Varlamov is the director of the Foundation. == History == The idea of creating a fund to support socially significant initiatives was first voiced in the speech of Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Supervisory Board of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives at the Kremlin on November 22, 2012. The President's suggestion implied creation of a tool of public-private partnership for the development of Internet projects specifically in Russia, a new priority of the Agency’s work. At the next meeting of the Supervisory Board on March 5, 2013, the Agency introduced to the President an online support fund project for entrepreneurial initiatives, and its future director. The objective of the fund was to create an infrastructure for expert and financial start-up support in the early stages of development, i.e., in the course of prototype development and market entry. The volume of the fund, entitled The Foundation for Internet Development-Initiatives, amounted at 6 billion roubles and was formed using the funds of major Russian companies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Internet Initiatives Development Fund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
