"'Made in Russia International Export Forum represents a unique platform for Russian companies to demonstrate themselves, establish new business contacts, and receive first-hand information about export support and global trends. Special attention at the forum will be paid to the development of the Made in Russia national brand, "which Russian Export Center has been developing for almost ten years and which is officially supported by decisions of our country's Government. The event will continue to consolidate various tools into a single strategy for promoting the national brand," Veronika Nikishina, REC CEO.
The forum's program will cover key aspects of modern export activities through a series of practical sessions, round tables, and business dialogues. Participants will discuss the comprehensive impact of geopolitical changes on international trade, examine the evolution of global supply chains, and explore mechanisms for developing the export potential of small and medium-sized businesses. Special attention will be paid to issues of financing foreign economic activity. A significant part of the program is dedicated to the implementation of advanced digital solutions. An important element of the forum will be direct business meetings between Russian exporters and foreign partners, which will create additional opportunities for developing international cooperation.
The event will be attended by representatives of federal and regional authorities, business community, banks, export support centers, industry associations and unions, as well as foreign delegations, financial institutions, trade and logistics companies, and leading industry exporters. The forum will serve as a platform for active dialogue and sharing experience among all interested parties.
