The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2020 will hold a visiting
session in Doha (Qatar) on 14–15 December. The Forum will be attended by the
CEOs of Russian and Qatari companies, investors, and representatives of the
federal and regional authorities, including CEO of Russian Agency for Export
Credit and Investment Insurance (EXIAR) Nikita Gusakov, Russian Direct
Investment Fund (RDIF) First Deputy CEO Tagir Sitdekov, Head of the Gazprom
Office in Qatar Dmitry Solovyov, among others.
A joint panel session of the SPIEF and Doha Forum
titled ‘Developing the High-Tech Sector in Russia: Prospects for Venture
Investment’ will take place on 14
December. The session participants will discuss new ways to expand
innovative activity in Russia such as strengthening infrastructure, developing
quality standards for innovative companies, boosting the volume of venture
investment, and possible cooperation between Russia and Qatar in these areas.
On the same day, the Roscongress Foundation and the
Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar (IPAQ) will hold a signing ceremony for an
agreement on the establishment of a joint working group to coordinate
investment and business projects. The document will be signed by Roscongress
Foundation CEO and Chairman of the Board Alexander Stuglev and IPAQ CEO Sheikh
Ali Alwaleed Al-Thani.
A joint press conference will be held after the
signing.
A SPIEF visiting session
titled ‘Russia-Qatar: Unlocking the Potential for Cooperation’ will be held on
15 December in the format of a business lunch. The session participants will
look at ways to step up bilateral cooperation between Russia and Qatar in such
sectors as energy, the economy, investment, trade exchanges, and research as
well as the development of a partnership in the tech sector and the
organization of the 2022 World Cup. One of the significant steps in this regard
will be Qatar’s participation as a guest country at the St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum in 2020.
