The 17th VTB Forum “Russia Calls!” will be held on December 1-2 at WTC in Moscow

Heads of Russian and international companies, representatives of government bodies, financial and business community, foreign investors will traditionally meet at the event venue. The agenda of the first day of the forum includes global macroeconomic trends, the development of Russian territories, new partnerships and attracting financing for major investment projects. On the second day, the discussion will focus on the domestic stock market, the potential of issuers and the strategies of private investors.

“The Russian economy is heading towards defrosting. To resume growth in 2027, it is important to launch a new investment cycle: we must transform the accumulated capital, ideas and competencies into productivity growth and new opportunities for both Russian and foreign investors. What the new investment cycle should be, what the most effective investment structure looks like, what decisions and tools are required by the state, business and the financial sector to realize the potential of the Russian economy in the face of incessant pressure – all this will be discussed at the VTB investment forum “Russia Calls!” in Moscow. This is a unique opportunity for investors from all over the world to get the most information directly from the top officials of the state and companies that determine the Russian economy, said VTB President-Chairman Andrey Kostin.

Last year, the forum “Russia Calls!” was launched in the regions of Russia, and this year it continued to expand its geography and format: in a number of cities the program was held for the first time in two days. Events have already taken place in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnoyarsk, with more than 5,000 participants, including young investors. The next regional format will be held in Kazan.

The forum in Moscow will be held in full-time format. Everyone will be able to join the broadcast of the first and second day sessions and hear the speakers live from anywhere in the world.

The investment forum “Russia Calls!” has been held since 2009. Every year the event attracts an authoritative audience, including representatives of government agencies, heads of Russian and international companies, investors.
