Energetics consultants work with executives to define key business parameters and set strategic goals that will ensure future success. The resulting Vision provides the strategic framework that drives technology planning. We then engage experts in technology, science, and business to identify critical needs and develop technology pathways to fulfill the goals. The result of this effort is a Technology Roadmap that can guide technology decisions and investments for an organization or an entire community.

Technology roadmaps are used by many forward-looking organizations to develop technology strategies to achieve their long-term goals. Energetics' technology roadmaps have been used to Foster collaborative solutions to complex scientific and technological challenges Draw upon the collective knowledge and expertise of science, business, and policy leaders  Uncover critical R&D and knowledge gaps  Prioritize promising technology solutions within distinct time frames Outline strategies for supporting multiple solutions and pathways Initiate partnerships that align and focus resources Communicate clear science and technology priorities to a broad community

Putting the pension system on a sustainable footing arguably remains the biggest challenge in Russia's economic policies. The debate about the policy options was hitherto constrained by the absence of general equilibrium analysis. This paper fills this gap by simulating their macroeconomic effects in a DSGE model calibrated to Russia's economy-the first of its kind to the best of our knowledge. The results suggest that a minimum benefit level in the public system should optimally be financed through lower government consumption, while higher taxation of labor and capital should be avoided. Reducing public investment spending is superior to increasing consumption taxes unless investment generates high rates of return.
