Both parties acknowledged that Dow's efforts will be focusing on energy
and infrastructure, aligned with and supporting the Skolkovo energy efficiency

combination is the most powerful to timely deliver innovation. The Skolkovo
project is poised to provide an attractive environment for the above and we are
confident this will benefit both - the Russian economy and competitiveness as
well as Dow,” commented Ernesto Occhiello, R&D Director, Dow Europe.
