07 Jun , 12:00–13:00
Goals and Objectives of Russia’s New Economic Cycle
Congress Centre, zone D, conference hall D4
In partnership with NPS Group of Companies

Initiating major infrastructure projects not only enhances the level of integration of Russia’s regions, but also provides a serious stimulus for economic growth. The large-scale modernization and construction of new railways, roads, highways, and bridges also helps Russia quickly and successfully integrate into new transport corridors towards the East, develop industrial production, and bring new life to entire cities and sectors of the economy. There has been a major boom in the construction of infrastructure, and international experts and institutions have noted Russia’s achievements in this regard. What are the industry’s goals in the coming years? How exactly will they be achieved? What needs to be done so that Russia can put the experience it has gained to use not only within the country, but also abroad, and so that major domestic infrastructure construction companies can compete with international conglomerates?
