The rating determines the leaders among the fastest-growing high-tech companies in Russia, which have the potential to play a key role in the development and modernization of the Russian technological industries.

Compared with the previous year the «TechUp-2014» companies demonstrated significant revenue growth, consistently maintaining the proportion of expenditure on technological innovation and research and development:
