A lighthouse on the Russian map: how the Primorsky Territory is preparing for the ‘Far East Street’ exhibition

The Primorsky Territory will present its existing and new investment projects, tourist attractions, as well as transport and logistics opportunities at the ‘Far East Street’ exhibition, which will be held on 38 September as part of the Eastern Economic Forum 2024 in Vladivostok. The concept of this year’s pavilion is ‘The Primorsky Territory: A Lighthouse on the Russian Map’. The exhibition is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian President in the Far Eastern Federal District.

“The Primorsky Territory’s exposition is one of the key ones at the ‘Far East Street’ exhibition. Vladivostok is the capital of the Far Eastern Federal District. The Eastern Economic Forum, which has become one of the most standout economic and cultural events not only in our country, but throughout the world, is being held here for the ninth year. The Primorsky Territory is the leader in the Far East in terms of the number of investment projects that are being implemented. The implementation of a large-scale project to transform 25 cities has been launched in the Far East, and Vladivostok is one of them. And now the measures associated with the master plan are beginning to change the city’s infrastructure. It is crucial to continue the progressive economic and social development of Vladivostok, the Primorsky Territory, the Far East, and our entire country, so that the Far East remains attractive to investors and as many Russians and residents of other countries as possible can visit and fall in love with the Far Eastern lands,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian President in the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev said.

The Primorsky Territory’s exposition is based on a key object – a lighthouse. The lighthouse’s features reflect the basic principles and focuses of the region’s development. The Primorsky Territory is a region that is developing new contacts with countries of the Asia-Pacific region, attracting investors, and implementing projects. The region positions itself as a territory for the younger generation and a place where people can live comfortably and advance in their careers. A lighthouse, the main art object, will be installed on the roof of the pavilion. At night, it will shine a beam of light to make the pavilion more visible, attract attention, and reflect the concept of the exhibition.

The Primorsky Territory’s pavilion will be divided into six thematic areas. The first to greets visitors will be an area that presents the region’s key projects: master plans for the region’s cities, the creation of a satellite city of Vladivostok, recreational opportunities in Zarubino, the work of the Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex and the Progress plant, and the construction of a museum and theatre complex on Orlinaya Sopka. Visitors will be able to view these projects using a special touchscreen.

“The ‘Far East Street’ project is an opportunity to show participants and guests of the Eastern Economic Forum that it is becoming more promising and comfortable to be friends with the Primorsky Territory and develop your business here. We are seeing an annual increase in investment. There are reasons for this: our region stands out due to its geographical location, transport and logistics capabilities, and, of course, the advanced special economic zones and the Free Port of Vladivostok. Our pavilion will tell the Forum participants and guests about the most exciting projects and key industries in which the Primorsky Territory is a leader and is setting the trend for other regions,” Primorsky Territory Governor Oleg Kozhemyako said.

The Logistics area will contain information about ports, border crossings, transport hubs and measures being implemented to develop the Northern Sea Route. An interactive assistant will help guests learn about the region’s logistics potential.

The Industry area will provide information about leading enterprises, prospects for developing the region’s mineral resource base and electric power industry, and sites for launching new investment projects. It will focus on the opportunities that investors can take advantage of by becoming a resident of the advanced special economic zone, the Free Port of Vladivostok, or the industrial park. The region’s key sports projects will be presented in the Sport area.

The 9th Eastern Economic Forum will take place on 36 September at the campus of Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. During these days, the ‘Far East Street’ exhibition will be open to Forum participants, and on 78 September it will be open to everyone. The EEF is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
