Foundation Director-General Andrei Grigoryev said his organisation had been tasked with foreseeing technological revolutions. “The Foundation should forecast technological revolutions within 3-4 years and concentrate necessary resources on that,” he said.

The Foundation will seek to make plans for 15-20 years ahead and create only prototypes, Grigoryev said.
