Smart Nordic Tech 2019, the
largest Nordic business event in Russia, will be held in Moscow on 24 October
with the support of the Roscongress Foundation. For the first time, dozens of
companies from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland will meet at one
venue in Moscow to present their top solutions to Russian partners. The
Roscongress Foundation will provide informational support for the Forum as part
of cooperation with its organizer, the Finnish-Russian Chamber of Commerce.
“Issues concerning the development of the Arctic zone
and the strengthening of business relations between Russia and the Nordic
countries are important and are regularly discussed at the St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum, the Eastern Economic Forum, and, of course, at
the International Arctic Forum, where the heads of state from four Arctic
Council member countries – Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden – got together
for the first time. At present, we are actively working on the legislative
framework to introduce the preferences for investors that are proposed in the
Development Strategy for the Russian Arctic until 2035, a plan to develop tourism
in all nine Arctic regions of the country, mechanisms for replacing outdated
diesel generation facilities in the Arctic, and changes to the structure of
secondary professional education in the Arctic zone, which is in high demand
among employers. We sincerely welcome the initiative of our partners from the
Finnish-Russian Chamber of Commerce to hold Smart Nordic Tech in Moscow and are
ready to provide comprehensive support”, Adviser to the Russian President Anton
Kobyakov said.
The Smart Nordic Tech programme will include a
seminar, a Meet&Greet area for networking, and presentations by Nordic
companies that have successfully established themselves on the Russian market.
Open discussions will be held on modern equipment and technologies for
industrial needs, trends in the construction and energy sectors, and
investments by international companies in Russia.
“The key objective of Smart Nordic Tech is for the business community of
Russia and the Nordic countries to establish new partnerships. The Russian participants
will enjoy the opportunity to network with leading manufacturers and arrange
meetings with companies upon individual request,” said Jaana Rekolainen, CEO of
the Finnish-Russian Chamber of Commerce.
The Forum speakers will include the Ambassador of
Finland to Moscow Mikko Hautala, the Ambassador of Sweden to Russia Malena
Mard, the Ambassador of Denmark to Russia Carsten Søndergaard, the Ambassador
of Iceland Berglind Ásgeirsdóttir, the Chairman of the Skolkovo Foundation
Arkady Dvorkovich, the Chairman of the Board of the Finnish-Russian Chamber of
Commerce and CEO of East Office of Finnish Industries Ilkka Salonen, and other
prominent members of the business community.
The event is being organized by the
Finnish-Russian Chamber of Commerce jointly with Team Finland with the support
of the Rosscongress Foundation.
