Creative Capital Index
In 2016 experts from Calvert 22 Foundation, in partnership with PwC Russia, began to develop the large-scale Creative Capital Index . The practical purpose of the Index is to evaluate and compare the potential of Russia’s most dynamic cities in terms of their prospects for economic modernisation and their investment appeal.
The index is a system for assessing the realised and hidden potential of cities within the sphere of the new economy and the pilot version of the Index, launched in 2016, included nine Russian cities: Moscow, St Petersburg, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk and Tyumen.
In 2017 Veliky Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Vladivostok, Perm, Ufa and Omsk were added to the Index. In 2018, the number of cities reached 20 with the inclusion of Krasnoyarsk, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Ulyanovsk and Chelyabinsk.
