Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at the plenary session of SPIEF 2023, noted that one of the key areas of economic development is the expansion of entrepreneurial activity and support for domestic businesses.

“Replacing transnational corporations that have left the Russian market was a notable event and a powerful boost for our businesses. Last year alone, Russian manufacturers filed more than 90,000 trademark applications.”

Due to foreign economic changes, the interest of SMEs in the development of international cooperation has significantly increased. Large companies from friendly countries have also started looking for Russian suppliers and counterparties.
