Banca Intesa and the investment division of Roscongress
Foundation - Fund RC-Investments - held their first working meeting within the
framework of the joint project office for development of investment and business projects
in the territory of the Russian Federation.
The parties agreed to actively cooperate in such important
areas as selection, review and analysis of promising investment projects in the
regions of the Russian Federation, as well as the selection of financial
instruments and provision of advisory support for their implementation.
"Creation of project offices together with foreign
partners is an interaction mechanism that allows to attract the most effective
support tools, to involve partner resources, to create and maintain a stable
flow of real working projects. The effect of this initiative is expressed in
strengthening of partner relations between the countries-participants", - noted
Anton Kobyakov, Adviser of the President of the Russian Federation.
Projects
collected at the investment portal of Russian regions investinregions.ru will be considered within the
framework of the project office work. The portal was launched by Roscongress
Foundation together
with its subsidiary - Fund RC-Investments - in April 2020 to attract investment
in the regions of the Russian Federation. The resource publishes information on
promising investment projects implemented in the regions of the Russian
Federation, export producers and key social and economic indicators.
"Just
over a month has passed since the launch of the regional investment portal -
and we can already see an impressive number of published projects and
investment applications. The combined base of promising investment projects is
a tool that the market lacked. Both entrepreneurs and investors need it. For
the former, it is a resource with a clear set of tools and ever-expanding
functionality that allows not only to attract the attention of major investors,
but also to involve other tools of the ecosystem of the Roscongress Foundation
in the project implementation. For investors, this is an opportunity to compare
and select projects by a variety of indicators, get advice from the Fund's
partners and choose the right and profitable direction for investment,"
commented Alexander Stuglev, Chairman of the Management Board and Director of
Roscongress Foundation.
"For
many years Banca Intesa and Roscongress Foundation have established strong
partnership relations, in recent years we have successfully implemented many
diverse and complex projects together, in particular, during preparation of the
International Economic Forum in St.Petersbourg and the Eurasian Economic Forum
in Verona. The activities of the joint project office to develop investment and
business projects in Russia are a new and important step in strengthening the
partnership. Banca Intesa is ready to take an active part in its work,"
said Antonio Fallico, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Banca Intesa.
Currently 78 projects from 25 regions of Russia are
presented on the portal. The projects are implemented in such sectors as
agriculture and forestry, industry, mining, construction, catering, leisure and
entertainment and others. More than a third of the projects (34%) are aimed at
producing new products or launching new production facilities. In particular, projects on production of pharmaceutical
substances, chemical compounds, polymeric coatings, launch of new production at
the plant of robotic systems, construction of a bakery, poultry complex, shops
for processing of agricultural products and others are presented.
As a result of the portal's work, a unified and
publicly available database of investment projects of Russian regions with
ratings assigned to them will be formed, and in the future - a single ecosystem
focused on the disclosure of economic and investment potential of the regions
of the Russian Federation.
