Business area of Yuriy Karpitskiy is innovative entrepreneurship, research and development. Radio engineer diploma with honors, received at Voronezh State Technical University, the academic degree of candidate of technical sciences predetermined his professional interest and success.

For more than 10 years he has been developing communications technology for the world’s leading telecom equipment manufacturers - companies Nortel Networks and Samsung Electronics. For about 2 years he worked as a project manager for development of software in the Intel corporation, where, under his guidance, one of the world’s first video conferencing software applications was created. Prior to participation in the project "Aelita" he was a co-founder and technical director, and then CEO of innovation company Devetel, which specializes in providing its customers with services on the development of hardware and software. He has experience of effective marketing and sales of high-tech products (hardware and software kit RetailNEXT - system of business video analysis for retail).

Yuriy Karpitskiy is the author of 15 inventions in the field of wireless communications. He designed the method of diversity transmission which entered all modern wireless cellular standards.

Yuriy came to the Agency for Strategic Initiatives with a unique project to establish a universal Russian anesthesiological complex of high class. The innovative equipment enables to carry out an inhalation anesthesia in combination with controlled and supportive artificial lung ventilation for adults and children, including infants, using all known gaseous and liquid volatile anesthetic agents.

Creation of such complex will provide the needs of Russia in the equipment necessary for anesthesia. The manufacture of 4-6 thousand units per year is scheduled, which will also allow offering Russian products to other developing countries, in which Western anesthesia and respiratory equipment is acceptable neither by price, nor by the terms of use.

The project addresses one of the most significant social problems of national health care - provision of health care institutions with low-cost and high-end anesthesia and respiratory equipment. The project has a number of characteristics:

• import substitution (substitution of imported analogues by the Russian apparatus that has all the necessary characteristics),
• export orientation (the development is oriented towards the Russian market and other developing countries that do not have western infrastructure oriented to high-quality, low-cost and universal equipment with good maintainability),
• replicability (simple production technology with standard units and components),
• scalability (the production does not require expensive specialized equipment and space),
• innovativeness (unique technology of injection and dosing of anesthetic).
