ITEMF EXPO and Roscongress Foundation signed a Memorandum of cooperation
The Parties seek to make the best use of their respective best practices, eliminate unnecessary duplication of work, and obtain the most efficient and effective results through cooperative activities in the areas of transportation and automobile manufacturing, green energy, additive manufacturing, construction and infrastructure development, as well as joining forces for comprehensive media coverage in the local and global landscape.
"We have planned a number of joint activities as part of existing business events, including key forums organized by the Roscongress Foundation. We have also reached an agreement to organize a federal forum on "Construction and Infrastructure"." — stated Eugen Alles, Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt RUS.
"One of the key areas of cooperation with ITEMF EXPO will be collaboration on auto events, including Automechanika and IMAF. In addition, sessions dedicated to international investment and ESG principles in the automotive industry will be included in business programmes of the Russian Investment Forum and the Eastern Economic Forum". — noted Alexander Stuglev, CEO of the Roscongress Foundation.
"Modern infrastructure is being built at a high rate in our country and we, as professional organizers of exhibitions and congresses, simply must provide a high-quality strategic platform for this growth, both for business and government communications and for promotion of innovative technologies and products, without which it is hard to imagine infrastructural growth, includitng transportation, automobile manufacture, green energy, additive manufacturing, and special and construction equipment." - emphasised Dmitry Zavgorodniy, Managing Director of HYVE International.
The cooperation on such strategically important topics promises to be mutually beneficial in a long run and will help the communication between business and government as well as the development of modern technologies and innovative products.
