Russia's largest bank Sberbank plans to invest 800 million dollars in a technology park creation in Skolkovo, an innovation center near Moscow. 

      Based on the technology park, there will be a special forces in research and experimental development and a data center of Sberbank and a financial structure that will deal with venture investments. It is also planned to place in the park  technological resources of Russian and international major IT-companies. 

      However, Viktor Vekselberg, foundation head of Skolkovo project notes, that having Sberbank on board has its own risks. "Sberbank is a dangerous partner for us. The collaboration is envisioned on such a large scale that realizing it will be difficult", said Vekselberg. He also noted, that at the same time Sberbank is an imoportant partner.
