Yesterday, Moscow saw the kick-off of the 11th Gaidar Forum, this year entitled “Russia and the World: Challenges of the New Decade”. A two-day forum, traditionally organized by the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), which enjoys the status of the “Russian Davos Forum”, gives the opportunity to share and confront views to thousands of eminent scientists, economists, businessmen, decision-makers, and most important government representatives, politicians and public figures from many countries and international institutions. Foreign guests view the forum as an important source of information about socio-economic trends, business developments, and state of the business and investment climate in Russia, whilst domestic experts seize this opportunity to build the prospects for further economic growth and Russian integration with the world economy. In view of that, this year's forum is hosting 85 panels, presentations, and other events to discuss current topics and challenges for the next decade.
At the invitation of the Director of the Moscow Institute of Business Studies, Mr. Sergey Myasoedov, this year too, the forum is attended by the VZMD President and Board member of the European Federation of Investors, Mr. Kristjan Verbič, who at the opening also attended a panel, led by Ms. Danica Purg., Director of the IEDC Bled School of Management. As part of the Forum, activities and opportunities brought by international business-investor programs (investo.si and investo.international) are being properly presented by Mr. Verbič. Similarly to last year, Mr. Verbič agreed to give an interview to one of the main Russian media, the Russian business TV program RBC TV. In addition, Mr. Verbič took this opportunity to schedule certain meetings, which touch on current issues regarding investments, business collaboration, energetics, banking, as well as companies Mercator, i.e. Agrokor and Fortenova Group.
The VZMD thus continues to maintain strong relations and build successful cooperation with business representatives from the Russian Federation. In the past, the VZMD was actively involved in the organization of the resounding Slovene-Russian Investors’ Conference in Moscow, on the occasion of the visit from the Slovenian Prime Minister to the President of the Russian Federation in 2013, in the business delegation accompanying the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia on his visit to the Russian Federation in October 2013, in the business delegation to Yaroslavl (VIDEO) in September 2014, and the Gaidar Forum in January 2019.
