RUSSIA – EU BUSINESS DIALOGUE TODAY’S AGENDA: SMART INTEGRATION

Roundtable
Pavilion 8, Hall 8.2, Innovation Hall

The recent global financial crisis and long-term trend in regional economic integration have had a profound impact on the substance and form of trade and economic relations between Russia and the European Union. The Russia–EU strategic partnership is becoming increasingly complex and the two are becoming increasingly interdependent.

1) What new policies should be adopted to strengthen trade and economic ties between Russia and the European Union, especially with regards to investment in innovative technologies?
2) What are the strategic priorities for Russian–EU economic integration and what are its limitations?
3) How will the Russian-EU integration processes impact the countries of the former Soviet Union and development within the European Union?
