The Transport Infrastructure of Russia Forum is scheduled to take place
on 19 September at Rossiya Segodnya’s International Multimedia Press Centre in
Moscow. The event, which has been held since 2015, is part of the
ROSINFRA Infrastructure Congress series, and is being organized by the PPP
Development Center and the Roscongress Foundation.
The plenary session will focus on a plan to develop highway
infrastructure and approaches to the details specified within, the evaluation
method behind selecting projects which have applied for government support,
aligning development for various transport and non-transport infrastructure,
and long-term performance criteria for infrastructure companies. In addition, a
number of industry-specific sessions will be held, where participants will draw
up proposals to develop Russia’s transit potential and integrate it in
international transport corridors. They will also discuss models of attracting
private investment in the development of port infrastructure — and ways to
utilize it effectively — and put forward suggestions to get business involved
in projects to reconstruct small regional airports and broaden the
interregional aviation network. A session dedicated to regional road
infrastructure will analyse plans to achieve KPIs in the development of roads
of both local and national significance, as set out in a Russian Presidential
Decree issued in May. In addition, the initial results of regional PPP projects
with federal support will be presented, and current sources of funding for
transport infrastructure examined. Another session will look at developing PPPs
in light rail, where participants will analyse features related to
comprehensive development in large agglomerations and discuss interim results
of the first projects under concession agreements in this sector. The creation
of a smart transport infrastructure and application of PPP mechanisms to
implement IT projects in transport will also come under focus in a series of
intellectual debates entitled «Digitalization of the Transport Complex: The
Future behind the ‘Smart’ Infrastructure».
