On January 26, 2021, as part of the celebration of Tatiana's Day – the Day of the foundation of Moscow University, the Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin and the Rector of Moscow State University, Academician Victor Sadovnichy, launched the construction of the Innovative Scientific and Technological Center of Moscow State University Vorobyovy Gory, laying the first and largest building with the symbolic name Lomonosov. The participants of such a significant event for the university were students of the Moscow University.

Speaking about the idea of creating a scientific and technological valley of Moscow University, the rector of Moscow State University noted that it arose as a response to the challenges of the time, when the huge scientific and innovative potential at universities, in particular at Moscow University, required a transition to practical work on high technologies. Therefore, the idea was born to create an innovation center where young scientists, graduate students, and students would come up with something, solder something, and business could implement these developments in life. Academician Victor Sadovnichy added that the creative and intellectual potential of MSU students and young scientists is the "yeast", as they are sometimes called in foreign universities, which is able to implement the foundations for new production of innovative goods and services. Viktor Sadovnichy thanked the leadership of the country and Moscow for their great support at the start of this project, which is very important for the university, the city and the country.

It is planned to place 9 clusters with a total area of 440 thousand square meters on the territory of the Center:
