Ankudinovka Technopark — a Nizhny Novgorod technopark in the field of high technologies, oriented toward supporting and developing innovative and high-technology companies. It operates in Nizhny Novgorod; its full official name is the "Nizhny Novgorod Technopark in the Field of High Technologies 'Ankudinovka'".[1]
Activity
The technopark provides residents with office space and conference rooms on preferential terms, offers consulting support at any stage — from an idea to an operating business — and assists in attracting financing, from private investors to federal grants. The technopark's infrastructure includes two facilities: a business center with an area of over 12,000 square meters and a business incubator with an area of over 5,000 square meters. The technopark's sectoral specialization covers information and communication technologies, instrument engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic equipment, chemical and biomedical technologies, and the development of new materials.[2] According to the technopark, since it began operating it has helped attract more than 3 billion rubles for projects in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.[1]
Residents can take part in consulting programs on developing technology entrepreneurship, use a personal account in the technopark's digital ecosystem, and connect remotely — without being physically present at the site.[1]
Federal partnerships
Since 2015 the technopark has been the regional representative office of the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises, and since 2019 — the regional representative office of the Skolkovo Foundation.[1] Within the scope of these responsibilities, the technopark assists Nizhny Novgorod entrepreneurs in submitting grant applications and helps with paperwork for participation in federal support programs. The technopark's experience as a regional Skolkovo operator was presented in 2026 as one of the central topics at the Foundation's "School of Regional Operators" strategic session in Veliky Novgorod.[1]

Business and educational events are regularly held at the technopark's site: pitch training sessions for participants of the UMNIK program, round tables for entrepreneurs, and educational programs.
