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.

Each block that we build abroad translates into RUB 350 billion worth of orders for Russian enterprises at the construction stage, and RUB 1–2 trillion worth of orders during the 60-year operation of this block. In and of themselves, these are already enormous numbers — Kirill Komarov, First Deputy General Director, Director of the Development and International Business Unit, State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM.
Half the country, all major state resources, and a lot of critical information infrastructure are under our protection. <…> Today, Russian cybersecurity technology is a brand. <…> I cannot say that people are forming a queue to our door, but even at this Forum, I have held a large number of meetings with foreign partners who are asking for protection technology. They are also interested in sharing experience and training their people. In this sense, cybersecurity is a first-rate export product for the Russian Federation — Igor Lyapunov, Senior Vice President for Information Security, Rostelecom; General Director, Solar.
It is clear that the current situation has led to a rupture in cooperation chains. It is now crucial for us to focus on projects aimed at replacing imports with domestic alternatives. Basically, we are under no illusions that we are somewhat behind the global market — Natalya Popova, First Deputy General Director, Innopraktika.
In one country we won a bid to build a national security operation centre. <…> And then there are the bids where we were not successful. Here, we really need the country to support us. <…> Chinese companies enter new markets – particularly emerging markets – through loans. Basically, the end consumer receives an actual loan, which is then used to buy solutions from the country in question. <…> That’s their strategy, whereas we come asking for the full price — Igor Lyapunov, Senior Vice President for Information Security, Rostelecom; General Director, Solar.
We were stewing, so to speak, within the Soviet Union, and then Russia – it was self-sufficient. Generally speaking, no one needed us, and we didn’t need anyone. As a result, we don’t have the tradition of entering foreign markets like the British did 300 years ago, or the Americans 200 years ago — Andrey Bezrukov, President, Technological Sovereignty Exports Association; Professor, Department of Applied International Analysis, MGIMO University.
We need to bring our high-tech companies together into large platform-based export consortiums... with end-to-end solutions. Only then, with a clear strategy and government support, should we enter new markets — Andrey Bezrukov, President, Technological Sovereignty Exports Association; Professor, Department of Applied International Analysis, MGIMO University.
We are now going deep into what technologies we need so as to make these high-tech products – what technologies will be critical. And we need to develop these things directly and be in possession of our own intellectual property. <…> We consolidate everything offered by companies in the sector into our information system, which operates as a startup showcase. We currently have more than 2,300 companies that meet the criteria and which have agreed to work with us — Maxim Kolesnikov, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.
At the Russia–Africa Forum we launched Pro Agro Lectorium – an international platform featuring world-renowned speakers. Initially, we developed this programme in English. Now we are translating it into Portuguese, because we are a leading company in BRICS — Mikhail Sterkin, Deputy General Director for Sales, Marketing and Logistics, PhosAgro.
