Dear hosts, participants and guests of the 7th Central Russian Economic Forum,

The Central Russian Economic Forum is currently a widely recognized expert and discussion venue largely meeting the requirements and needs of Russian businesses.

This year, the Forum focuses on the economy of knowledge, which is of special topicality. The prospects of today’s economy largely depend on the intellectual and technological potential of Russia. Therefore, working towards effective knowledge-intensive production development solutions and new technologies is crucial for increasing competitive power and promoting business interests.

I heartily wish all the Forum participants and guests fruitful work, interesting discussions and abundant results in practice!

Sergey Katyrin,
President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation
