This will provide an economic incentive to develop the region and the entire Far East, and will create a wide range of jobs: both for workers and for highly qualified specialists, such as engineers, programmers, and logistics experts. The region’s pavilion will present this and other projects. Guests and participants of the Eastern Economic Forum will have an opportunity to learn about the [region’s] economic potential, cultural peculiarities, and natural resources,” said Yury Trutnev, Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Envoy of the Russian President in the Far Eastern Federal District.

“The Jewish Autonomous Region has vast potential in various fields: industry, culture, and tourism. We will present all these opportunities at the Eastern Economic Forum venue. The guests of our pavilion will be able to learn more about opportunities in the region. Along with investment projects that have already proven themselves, ones that are just starting to be implemented will also be presented. Each guest will have a chance to get to know more about the original Jewish culture and our sporting achievements. We have a lot to be proud of and something to show off at the EEF venue,” Jewish Autonomous Region Governor Rostislav Goldshtein said.
