"Russia has currently ensured the most comfortable conditions for attracting advanced technologies and creating new innovative industries. The special economic zones and advanced special economic zones of the Far East offer foreign investors tax preferences and a simplified administrative regime with infrastructure being modernized at the government’s expense."
Alexander Galushka
Minister for the development of the Russian far east
"Over three years, the Eastern Economic Forum has become an effective working tool for the development of the entire Far East. Discussions are held here about the best practices for doing business, major transactions, and investments. The third EEF will focus on the first results of new business support mechanisms: advanced special economic zones and the Free Port of Vladivostok. Its main participants are the investors who are implementing their projects in the Far East. They are the ones who are building the new economy of the region, which is intended to serve as Russia’s springboard for integration into the world’s leading economies".
Yury Petrovich Trutnev
Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District
“Over the last three years, the EEF has become the biggest international platform for discussing the strategy for developing political, economic and cultural ties between Russia and Asia Pacific. At the upcoming Forum, we are ready to present the first results of the work done so far. We want to tell our guests that the policy currently being pursued in the Far East on the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation is bearing fruit.”
