The tech city of Innopolis is one of the most fascinating urban development projects in modern Russia, serving as the country's primary hub for information technology and innovation. Located on a scenic plateau near the Volga River in the Republic of Tatarstan, Innopolis was officially founded in 2012 and ceremoniously opened in 2015. It is one of the few cities in post-Soviet Russia to be built entirely from scratch on a greenfield site. The heart of the city is Innopolis University, a state-of-the-art academic institution specializing exclusively in computer science and robotics, attracting talent from all over the world. The campus is surrounded by an extensive special economic zone for IT companies, providing handy growth conditions for start-ups and established tech giants alike through tax incentives. The urban infrastructure is designed as a smart city, where autonomous taxis and delivery robots are part of the everyday streetscape.
