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.

Food Safety and Quality Nutrition: Protecting Health and Quality of Life

Lomonosov Cluster, 1st floor, Business Programme Hall 3
Safe, healthy food is essential to preventing many forms of illness. As part of the ‘Demography’ national project, Rospotrebnadzor has introduced a system for monitoring the compliance of food products with macro and micronutrient indicators, carrying out more than 1.2 million studies over the past six years and establishing a unique database. An evaluation was carried out of the food eaten by 675,000 school-age children in 16,000 schools. More than 30,000 school menus have been adjusted to make them healthier. A modern strategy was developed to inform, educate, and train people to eat healthy, successfully changing eating habits and reducing nutrition-related diseases in children. The core of the programme will develop through 2025–2030 to ensure the continuity of the results achieved. To reverse current trends and ensure healthy eating, good quality food must be safe and easily available, and people must be motivated to make long-term changes to their dietary habits. What is the state doing federally and regionally at present? How is modern Russian science contributing to the resolution of this issue? Is the business community ready to promote healthy nutrition responsibly? How will the tools developed be applied in new national projects?
