The North Caucasus is the focus of the Government’s close attention as a region with huge investment, tourism and workforce potential. Systematic work is continuing on the development of its infrastructure, including attracting private investment to high-potential, breakthrough projects.
Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechen Republic
We are so happy that the Forum will put the Republic at the centre of attention for the country’s North Caucasus. Chechnya is honored to host the landmark Caucasus Investment Forum, a platform for negotiations and business contracts to develop investment projects and public-private partnerships. The Forum will acquaint quests with new projects and familiarize them with the traditions of the region. I have no doubt that the event will live up to international standards.
Andrey Yumshanov, CEO of the Kavkaz.RF Development Institute
Our task is to open up the North Caucasus as an attractive area for investment and business development, especially in tourism, agriculture, industry and technological processing – sectors where high levels of added value are created. Kavkaz.RF also operates as a “one stop shop” for local business – we help those launching investment projects in the regions obtain government support, work with the banking sector, and analyze the market and business ideas – from conception to financial model.
