“On March 4 there will be an introductory event. Kryptonite Startup Challenge actively supports Russian technologies, the organizers of the competition will explain the terms of the competition at the meeting, tell you how to fill out the form correctly so that the project is successful, explain the nuances of the competition, its difficulties, and prospects,” Alexander Efimov, director of the TUSUR business incubator, told TV2. — After the meeting, we expect that there will be many applications from IT specialists from Tomsk, which historically is a forge of IT personnel. We hope that thanks to this competition we will learn about new achievements and discoveries of Tomsk residents, but, of course, we do not yet know which projects will take part in the competition. Priority areas are IT technologies, cryptography, machine learning, artificial intelligence.”
According to Alexander Efimov, Tomsk students are ready to participate in the selection.
“TUSUR hits the profile hard. We teach the Internet of Things, cryptography, machine learning, artificial intelligence, too. Blockchain and neural networks are available here and at TSU. Speech and face recognition - TUSUR and Siberian State Medical University. So, all students who are interested can apply to participate in the competition, and TUSUR, in turn, will assist in preparing applications.”
