MADE IN RUSSIA – GROWING DOMESTIC CAPACITY TO EXPORT

Realizing Russia’s Potential
Panel discussion
Pavilion 5, Hall 5.3


With economic diversification as a principal underlying goal for the coming decade, the country is looking to its export capacity. Working with its international trading partners, Russia has the potential to expand its role in global manufacturing supply chains, but challenges remain.
