“Replacing transnational corporations that have left the Russian market was a notable event and a powerful boost for our businesses. Last year alone, Russian manufacturers filed more than 90,000 trademark applications.”
Vladimir Putin
PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Due to foreign economic changes, the interest of SMEs in the development of international cooperation has significantly increased. Large companies from friendly countries have also started looking for Russian suppliers and counterparties.
SME Forum participants will discuss emerging opportunities and growth areas for small business development, as well as strategies to support the development of new production and logistics chains, among other topics.
