REC invites to a multi-sector business mission to South Africa

Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF Group) invites Russian companies to participate in a business mission to South Africa, which will take place in Johannesburg on June 10–11, 2026. Applications are open through April 11, 2026, on My Export platform.

Today, South Africa serves as a strategic hub, providing Russian businesses with access to markets across the African continent. As part of its export strategy in BRICS+ countries, REC specialists are organizing a series of targeted B2B negotiations for companies in the following industries:
· Chemical industry and energy;
· Mechanical engineering and geology;
· Medicine, IT and educational technologies;
· Agro-industrial complex and food industry.

As part of its government support, Russian Export Center (REC) provides 100% co-financing of key organizational costs. The REC Group covers the costs of venue rental, identifying and attracting relevant foreign buyers, providing technical support for individual meetings, and providing professional interpreters for the negotiations. Mission participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs only.

The entire process of interaction with exporters is automated on My Export digital platform. Documents are submitted through the Events service, allowing companies to track the application status in real time. To participate, log in to the platform using an electronic signature, select the relevant event from the catalog, and sign the agreement electronically.

Participants must meet standard requirements: legal entity or sole proprietor status registered in the Russian Federation, and no outstanding tax arrears.
A business mission to South Africa is an effective opportunity to confirm your status as a reliable supplier under the Made in Russia program and gain a foothold in one of the world's fastest-growing markets.
