The Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF) provides systematic support to Small Technology Enterprises (STCs) at every stage of the export cycle. Alexander Morozov, Vice President of the Russian Export Center, announced this while speaking at the Voice of Russia Leaders Conference.
According to him, STCs currently possess enormous export potential: approximately 600 companies have received support from the Russian Export Center Group this year, utilizing various resources at each stage, including training, exhibitions, preferential financing, and international promotion.
“For companies planning to enter new markets, we can help them identify priorities, adjust products, and conduct training. For companies already exporting, we provide promotional tools, including advertising and information support in foreign media. This is a newly launched service, currently available in 12 countries,” noted Alexander Morozov.
Companies holding the “Made in Russia” certification can also access similar resources. This certificate is provided free of charge and includes a comprehensive support system: marketing and public relations activities, participation in festivals, markets and exhibitions, and live streaming. Promotion through bloggers, online and offline retail stores, and other means are also available.
Finally, Alexander Morozov emphasized that exports are not "toys for the rich," but rather a real opportunity for enterprises to achieve economies of scale. "Often, entering foreign markets is even easier than competing with neighboring countries. The key is not to be afraid of technological advancements and to make full use of the existing resources of the Russian Export Center Group," the vice president stated.
