(“Didym””), a Skolkovo Foundation resident company, has been formally approved to apply for a grant from the Skolkovo Foundation.  Through the Skolkovo Foundation, Didym, is now able to apply for government grants of up to 100 million RUB (~US$1.44 million) for developing technologies for the separation of rare earths and other rare metals from mining production concentrates.
