Ms Olga Georgievna Mazunina was very impressed and satisfied with the visit , and here are her words to confirm it: “Nikola Tesla was a great scientist. I believe that the company named after him, is also at such a high level in its operations and achievements. We saw a number of innovative technologies and systems, and we are interested in their implementation in Russian regions. The one that interests us most is the daily life improvement, such as healthcare system. 
E-Government solutions are also very interesting to us, but in the given area the implementation shall be arranged at the level of the whole Russia. I am glad the company has so many specialists and that the average  age of employees is 34. In our town, Balakovo, there are 6 institutions of high education, but young people go to Moscow for work. If we enter the project realization in the mentioned segment, this will mean new jobs in Balakovo for many young and educated persons. I would also like to add that I am impressed with beauties of Zagreb, but a visit to such an interesting company was a great pleasure too.“
