The Arkhangelsk region successfully defended the results of the implementation of the Regional Export Standard 3.0 at an increased level. This is a set of measures that helps regions create favorable conditions for the development of international cooperation. The standard was developed by the Russian Export Center as part of the national project “International Cooperation and Export”. Its goal is to form a system of support for export-oriented companies in the regions, as well as to increase the number of exporters and the volume of export products.
