The Roscongress Foundation is a socially oriented non-financial development institution and a major organizer of nationwide and international conventions; exhibitions; and business, public, youth, sporting, and cultural events. It was established in pursuance of a decision by the President of the Russian Federation.

The Foundation was established in 2007 with the aim of facilitating the development of Russia’s economic potential, promoting its national interests, and strengthening the country’s image. One of the roles of the Foundation is to comprehensively evaluate, analyse, and cover issues on the Russian and global economic agendas. It also offers administrative services, provides promotional support for business projects and attracting investment, helps foster social entrepreneurship and charitable initiatives.

Each year, the Foundation’s events draw participants from 209 countries and territories, with more than 15,000 media representatives working on-site at Roscongress’ various venues. The Foundation benefits from analytical and professional expertise provided by 5,000 people working in Russia and abroad.

The Foundation works alongside various UN departments and other international organizations, and is building multi-format cooperation with 212 economic partners, including industrialists’ and entrepreneurs’ unions, financial, trade, and business associations from 86 countries worldwide, and 293 Russian public organizations, federal and regional executive and legislative bodies of the Russian Federation.

Russia’s morning begins here: the top 5 places in Primorye where you can greet a beautiful dawn
It is no secret that the Russian Far East is the first place in the country to welcome not only the New Year, but also every new day. So one might doubt that Japan is the Land of the Rising Sun: after all, in the capital of the Far East, the morning, according to GMT, arrives an hour earlier than in Tokyo. This means that while Primorye is in the early autumn season, EEF participants can start getting up early and see the most beautiful sunrises of their lives.

Here you can learn all about the economy, tourism, and culture of each of the 11 federal subjects that make up the Russian Far East, and, most importantly, you may enjoy the spirit and hospitality of this global region.
