“Radical transformation of banks into ecosystems and technology companies is in great demand today. We at the bank have made the most radical decision and approved, first-ever globally, the ecosystem building concept” Gref said.

 

He also informed that their shares rose by 4.5%, after Sberbank presented this concept to shareholders in London two years ago, while the shares of a major US bank that presented a classic development strategy then, dropped by 2.5-3%.

 

Today, Sberbank’s ecosystem includes over 20 companies representing a variety of sectors such as e-commerce (Yandex.Market), medicine (DocDoc), telecommunications (Sberbank Telecom), cloud technology (SberCloud), communications (Dialog), identification (VisionLabs), life style (Foodplex), services for business processes optimization (Evotor, Intercomp), etc.
