Russia's state banking giant Sberbank opened the country's biggest data-processing centre at the Skolkovo innovation centre over the weekend.
The Sberbank data-processing centre at Skolkovo is the biggest in Russia and one of the biggest in Europe.
The first stage of the data-processing centre was launched on Saturday at a ceremony attended by Sberbank CEO German Gref, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov, and Skolkovo Foundation president Victor Vekselberg.
The data-processing centre is one of two Sberbank facilities inside Skolkovo: the second is the Sberbank technopark, which is being built to a design by the award-winning late British architect Zaha Hadid.
For now, the data-processing centre is exclusively for Sberbank's needs, but its functions will soon be extended, said Vekselberg.
"The data-processing centre is one of two Sberbank facilities inside Skolkovo: the second is the Sberbank technopark, which is still being built," Anton Yakovenko, director general of UDAS, the legal entity responsible for the construction of Skolkovo, told Business FM. "For us, this facility is crucial, because we understand which direction Sberbank is moving in: it is transforming from a bank into a financial technology company. This is one of the key sectors that the Skolkovo project is focusing on and which it aims to develop," he explained.
Sberbank already works with a range of Skolkovo startups.
