It was decided to postpone the Caucasus Investment Forum following a
meeting of the Organizing Committee in 2024. CIF 2024 will now be held in the Chechen
capital of Grozny.
“The decision to shift the Caucasus Investment Forum stems from the existing
schedule of national business and exhibition events. We are expecting to welcome
delegations and representatives of the business community from abroad. Preparations
for the event continue,” Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander
Novak said. “The event
will be held as a forum for the first time with an expanded business programme consisting
of sessions, round tables, and master classes,” he added.
The Caucasus Investment Forum will serve as a platform for negotiations
and a place to conclude business contracts for investment projects and
public-private partnerships in Russia’s regions. The Forum theme is ‘The
Greater Caucasus: From Sea to Sea’, and it will be dedicated to ‘Regional
Development and Interregional Cooperation’.
“The Chechen Republic is one of Russia’s most attractive constituent
entities and a leader of Russia’s National Investment Rating. By holding CIF 2024
here, we make it possible for Forum participants and guests to benefit from
everything the Republic has to offer, witness the diversity of the North
Caucasus, and learn more about its rich culture. The North Caucasus Federal
District plays an important international role with its transport logistics
corridors, developing agricultural exports, growing inbound tourism, and an
increasing number of hotel complexes and high-level recreational facilities. The
Caucasus Investment Forum in Grozny and its international status will give
investment projects developing in the region a platform to be seen and attract
foreign investors,” Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and
Executive Secretary of the CIF 2024 Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov said.
CIF 2024 will be attended by representatives of the tourist industry,
agribusiness, transport and logistics, the banking sector, and construction
companies from across the North Caucasus, Southern Federal District, CIS, and
the Caspian and Black Sea basins.
More than three thousand people from 15 countries visited the First
Caucasus Investment Exhibition in Mineralnye Vody in May 2023. The business
programme consisted of more than 30 events, with 50 agreements worth over RUB
150 billion concluded at the event.
The Caucasus
Investment Forum is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of
the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.
