MOSCOW, April 4. /TASS/. The Skolkovo Foundation’s board approved 50 companies already having functioning prototypes of their developments to join the exhibition at the Skolkovo Robotics Forum, Executive Director of the Skolkovo Robotics Forum Olga Avryasova told TASS on Wednesday.

"We have received applications from different countries. I regret to say that not all applications met our strict requirements. While we were able earlier to accept companies at the idea stage, with slides, now we thoroughly scrutinize [everything] at the design stage - a functioning prototype must be presented in the exhibition at the very least," Avryasova said.

The Skolkovo Foundation has approved 50 companies for participation in the exhibition, she added.

The Skolkovo Technology Park will host the Skolkovo Robotics Forum, the largest robotics forum in Eastern Europe, on April 24.
