The State Kremlin
Palace summed up the results of the annual Knowledge Prize. At the ceremony
organized by the Russian Znanie Society, 22 laureates in 13 categories were
announced. The best educators and enlightenment projects of the year were
determined by the decision of the jury of honour and online voting, which took
place from November 10 to December 5 in the community of the Znanie Russian
Society on VKontakte. The winner in the Economy and Business category was the
Made in Russia communications project, which has been supported by the
Roscongress Foundation for many years.
Made in Russia is
the first international communication project to promote Russian exports,
business, and culture. More than 60 unique materials about domestic
manufacturers, goods and technologies, including news, interviews, articles and
analytical materials are published daily on the information platform. The
platform’s reach in 2022 was more than 8 million unique views, and more than
11,000 companies applied to participate in the platform.
“Our project
allows businesses from anywhere in Russia to promote their products and
services using the technical capabilities and reach of the platform.
Importantly, thanks to the Roscongress Foundation, which provides its support
to participants in our communications system, they can be represented at major
business events in Russia. I am confident that the recognition that the Made in
Russia platform has received today will give an additional impetus to the
development of small and medium-sized enterprises in our country," said
Mikhail Sadchenkov, Head of the Made in Russia project and Director of the
National Brand ANO.
The Roscongress
Foundation has been supporting the Made in Russia project since 2015, ensuring
its promotion and coverage at key congress and exhibition events such as the
St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and the Eastern Economic Forum, as
well as providing opportunities to work with its own audience and a network of
173 foreign trade partners in 78 countries worldwide. In November 2022, the
Roscongress Foundation and the Russian Export Center concluded an agreement to
jointly promote the Made in Russia brand.
