Within its framework, a research center and a technopark will be organized, at the production facilities of which theoretical scientific developments will undergo practical "break-in". Developments that have passed testing on the equipment of the technopark will be transferred to residents of the Titanium Valley.

The research center of the titanium cluster will be created on the basis of UrFU (Ural Federal University), and the technopark - near the territory of the SEZ, and not only organizations from the Titanium Valley, but also small companies that are not residents of the Special Economic Zone will be able to use its potential.

Out of a hundred projects of territorial clusters, the commission of the Ministry of Economic Development selected 15 most promising, including the titanium association.
