New Investment Opportunities for the Russian Motor Vehicle Market – a Modern Growth Area

In the last twenty years the structure of the motor vehicle fleet in Russia has been undergoing significant changes, both quantitative and qualitative. The demand for cars and commercial vehicles continues to grow, making the motor vehicle market in Russia one of the most promising in the world.
What changes await the Russian motor vehicle market in the coming years? What share will Russian vehicle production have in the Russian motor vehicle market? What will be the relationship between the levels of production of ‘home grown’ and foreign vehicle manufacturers in Russia? Representatives of government, business circles, analysts and academic economists hold varying opinions. What will be the investment policy of the players in the market: vehicle manufacturers, component manufacturers, dealers? How will this line up with the federal and regional authorities’ investment policy for developing the motor vehicle industry?

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
• Russia’s place in the global motor vehicle market in the post-crisis context.
• How will the quantitative and qualitative structure of motor vehicle manufacturing and sales in Russia change by 2020?
• Russian and global experience in implementing anti-crisis programmes to stimulate demand for motor vehicle industry products: is it strengthening or weakening the competitiveness of the motor vehicle industry? The prospects of the programme for utilisation of goods vehicles and buses in Russia.
• New Russian production facilities for motor vehicles and vehicle components: a promising way forward or a blind alley? Issues related to increasing the level of localisation of vehicle assembly production facilities in Russia and abroad. The regional aspect of where to locate motor vehicle manufacturing workforces and the dealer network in Russia.
• New ways of developing the Russian motor vehicle market. ‘Green’ motor transport: opportunities and legislative, commercial and infrastructure risks.

Solid Household Management Systems in Russia and International Experience

Government and business: seminal steps by the state towards cost recovery on environmental projects. Optimising risks under the existing legal and regulatory framework. Introducing a self-regulation mechanism in the field of waste management: a radically new approach to the self-regulating organisation. Leading European experience based on the technologies of the 1930s: does Russia need it? Features of the legal environment for investment in the municipal sphere through the prism of international private law. These and many other issues will be examined at the round table.
The municipal services system is attracting investors as one of the biggest sectors of the Russian economy with a guaranteed market. Today the state is open to a new form of cooperation with business, where the basic priorities are a high quality of goods and services provided to the population, and also the interests of the entrepreneurs – the people who create the basic wealth and prosperity of the country.
The need for non-standard approaches is being felt as never before, and also the need for reliable partners – investors and modern management systems for the industry with a willingness to bring in environmental innovations and energy-efficient technologies. Investment in the municipal services system is a long-term, stable and socially responsible business, an activity which makes it possible to combine the opportunity for a return on one’s capital with making a colossal contribution to the development of Russia as a whole. The round table will raise the most vitally important issues. The level of the participants and the acuity of the planned questions guarantee an emotional debate. On the basis of the results of the round table within the framework of the designated questions it is planned to table legislative initiatives at the level of the Government and the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

Current Trends in Alternative Energy. New Opportunities for International Cooperation and the Financing of Joint Projects

With the amount of energy available from renewable sources and existing technologies it is already possible to fully provide mankind with the energy it needs. Until recently, for a whole range of reasons, and above all because of the huge reserves of traditional energy raw materials, relatively little attention was paid in Russia’s energy policy to questions concerning the development of the use of renewable sources of energy. In recent years the situation has begun to undergo a distinct change. The need to fight for a better environment, new opportunities to improve the quality of people’s lives, taking part in the global development of progressive technologies, efforts to increase the energy efficiency of economic development, and the logic of international cooperation – these and other considerations have helped to step up national efforts to create a greener energy industry and a move to a low-carbon economy

Long-Term PPP Contracts in Road Construction and Maintenance

The Russian Federation’s transport strategy regards public-private partnership as an effective mechanism for developing a network of major highways in the Russian Federation. This is also confirmed by global experience. There is no country in the world where major road construction is undertaken using budget resources alone and exclusively.
A concession agreement makes it possible to attract extra-budgetary finance, and also to achieve a high level of quality in the construction and operation of roads, to apply innovations, technical novelties and know-how aimed at ensuring higher operational characteristics for the project, and also to reduce the level of expenditure on construction and subsequent operation. For roads whose level of traffic is difficult to forecast, where it is objectively difficult for the market to take on itself the risks of a change in the schedule, a variety of concessions based on ‘life cycle contracts’ are applied.
If the road has already been built or refurbished and there is only a requirement to create individual additional elements of road infrastructure, for example toll collection points or a smart transport system, and also to ensure efficient operation of the facility which has been built, forms of cooperation within public-private partnership which are more attractive to investors are considered, in particular operational O&M contracts.
The state company Russian Highways was set up two years ago for the purpose of developing Russia’s network of major highways on the basis of public-private partnership mechanisms.
What is the positive and negative experience of using PPP in Russia’s road construction? What problems arise in the creation of paid roads in Russia, and how can they be solved? What forms of PPP will be used in the future, in the light of global experience? What kinds of road projects is it most effective to create and operate on a paid basis, including in Krasnodar Region?
The discussion of these questions will involve the best Russian and foreign experts in the field of public-private partnership and the operation of paid road projects, representatives of the biggest paid road operating companies and specialists in smart transport systems, and financial and investment institutions.

Russia – Europe: Strategy, Dialogue, Investment

The 500th anniversary of the establishment of relations between Russia and the states of the Apennine peninsula was celebrated recently. Today too, the development of relations with Italy is one of the priority areas of Russia’s foreign policy.
Economic cooperation has become a firm basis for bilateral relations: Italy currently holds second place among the countries of the EU in terms of the scale of its trade and economic relations with Russia, surpassed only by Germany. Italy has reached 11th place among the countries investing in the Russian economy, and Russia is increasing its investment in Italy’s oil refining, diamond and steel industries.
While being technologically and industrially developed, at the same time Italy does not have natural resources in the main types of raw material and fuel, which Russia possesses in abundance. The production capacities of individual sectors of Italian industry considerably exceed domestic demand and are oriented to a great degree towards exports.

Financial Institutions and Real Business – Partners for Investment. The Regional Aspect

Financial institutions help to attract new flows of capital into the region and bring additional financial liquidity into the market, i.e. they are tools for securing long-term and sustainable financial resources. The simultaneous development of regional financial markets ensures the creation of “economic growth areas” in the country, will increase the integration of the country’s regions with each other and at the same time with the economies of neighbouring states, and will ensure a more equal distribution of financial resources across the country, at the same time as a uniform way of addressing issues of transparency in business, protection of property rights and development of infrastructure, including financial infrastructure. Competition laws will additionally, without administrative interference, stimulate the development of unique products, the training of highly skilled staff, and the strengthening of economic activity. A developed financial infrastructure on the ground in the regions will ensure access to high-tech financial services for businesses and citizens.

Investment in housing construction – social and topical. Experience and prospects.

Fifty-five years ago our country made a start on a programme of mass industrial housing construction that was unprecedented in its scale. Today a favourable situation is being created for resuming stable growth in construction and to revive investment activity and get new construction projects underway. Housing construction is a large-scale theme and an important component in the country’s economic potential. Investment in housing construction means implementing large-scale infrastructure projects, developing new sites, new single-storey and low-rise housing developments from economy class to business class in a modern architectural style, developing production capacity and creating new jobs.
The work of the round table will focus on issues concerning the development of housing construction in Russia and Europe, the prospects and objectives for public-private partnership in the construction industry, the legal and financial components in housing construction projects, and mechanisms for project financing and loans to citizens. The speakers will present examples of how Russian and international projects are implemented, and will also present promising investment projects.

Innovative Technologies for Environmental Safety and Conservation

By successfully applying innovations more widely in the sector of rational use of natural resources and environmental protection, and by improving investment in them, we should be able to aid the transition to a “green” economy, promote the creation of new and dynamic sectors of growth, and at the same time help to find solutions to environmental protection issues and restore and improve the quality of natural systems and people’s quality of life, which is one of the priorities in the work of the government and society.
The innovation-led approach, which is the foundation of nature conservation management, is precisely what will enable us to attract additional investment into this sector, increase the revenue from integrated utilisation of natural capital while at the same time minimising costs, and also help to prevent the basic natural resources from being exhausted.
The round table entitled “Innovative technologies in the field of ensuring environmental security and rational use of nature” will also look at important issues such as the prospects for introducing modern accessible innovative technologies when addressing nature conservation objectives; making production facilities more environmentally friendly; innovative technologies in the field of waste processing; reducing the man-made effect on the environment by means of developing waste-free production facilities, using and recycling waste; organising and introducing environmental monitoring; new approaches to understanding the future investment process and creating conditions which will stimulate the growth of investment in nature-friendly technologies.

Green Standards In Modern Russian And Foreign Urban Development

The development and introduction of green construction standards is a stimulus to the development of innovative technologies and to improving the state of the environment.
The key aim in introducing green standards is to incentivise manufacturers and builders to use environmentally clean materials and to introduce technologies which reduce the negative effect on the environment and the consumption of energy resources, i.e. to create the optimal conditions for safe operation of urban development facilities.
The advantages of green construction lie not only in the economic benefits, but also in the creation of favourable conditions for the environment, for the health of people and of society in general.

Introducing Energy Efficient Technologies In Passenger Transport

One of the most important areas of modernising the motor transport sector is the introduction of energy-saving technologies. The volume of production of diesel fuel is limited, and its use as the main fuel for commercial goods and passenger transport has a negative effect on the environment.
In view of the importance of Krasnodar Region’s Black Sea coast as a place of resorts and recreation, and also of the fact that the Olympics are being held in Sochi in 2014, it is becoming especially urgent to introduce energy-saving technologies.

Skolkovo – a City in Four Dimensions: Ergonomic, Environmentally Friendly, Energy-Efficient, Economical

A project which will be a breakthrough into the new economy is presenting urban developers with challenges that are unprecedented in modern Russian history. The creation of an ultra-modern scientific and technical complex should meet the most modern requirements in terms of being ergonomic, environmentally friendly, energy efficient and economical.
The city will be given an unrepeatable look by the creativity of leading architects, winners of the Pritzker Prize – Pierre de Meuron, KazuyoSejima and Rem Koolhaas. The overall leadership is provided by the French company AREP. It will be thinking through and ensuring comfort and functionality, by linking a university, a science park, research centres and living quarters in the structure of the city.
Not less than 50% of the energy consumed by the city will be obtained from renewable sources. Particular attention is being paid to the landscape design and greening. A “smart city” system will ensure maximum comfort with a minimum of expenditure of resources. Skolkovo will be a laboratory where promising technologies in construction, energy saving, transport and waste recycling will be tested.

Preserving the Ecosystem of the North Caucasus

The ecological system of the North Caucasus is a real constellation of unique phenomena. This is the last macro-region in Eurasia to which the epithet “untouched by civilisation” can be applied. The Caucasus is full of opportunities for development and success. However, when large-scale projects are being implemented (Sochi 2014, the creation of an alpine tourism cluster), issues concerning the preservation of natural riches must be addressed first.
The round table in Sochi is bringing together representatives of all sides – those who are not indifferent to the fate of nature in the Caucasus and are willing to have a constructive dialogue in order to develop a unified position and action plan.
The event will be held under the auspices of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO.
