The Creative Capital Index is a system for assessing the realised and hidden potential of cities within the sphere of the new economy. The pilot version of the Index, launched in 2016, included nine Russian cities: Moscow, St Petersburg, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk and Tyumen. In 2017 Veliky Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Vladivostok, Perm, Ufa and Omsk were added to the Index. In 2018, the number of cities reached 20 with the inclusion of Krasnoyarsk, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Ulyanovsk and Chelyabinsk.
