Moscow - Nowhere better for business in Russia!

Russia is one of the few remaining developing markets with extremely high growth potential and vast opportunities for key industry players. Moscow is the hub for Russia 's international business and is ideal for business meetings, face to face presentations, exhibitions and business activities.

The Russian Mining Markets

Russia remains one of the world's largest mineral producers and will continue exploring new mineral deposits of nickel, cobalt, coal and iron ore production. It also has a large share of the output of some non-ferrous and rare earth metals, diamonds, apatite and potassium salts, nickel, gold, silver, platinum group metals and diamonds. Russia has vast mineral and metal reserves and the export of these resources significantly helps the development of the Russian economy.

Vast investment is required in the Russian mining and minerals industry over the next 15 years and this represents a significant opportunity for companies involved in exploration, financial institutions, supply industries and research organisations. Strategic partnerships with Russian organisations can be developed, either to access project tenders in the region or to develop technological ventures for product research and development.

The continued development of the minerals and metals sector is one of the most important geological and economic tasks in Russia . For mining technology and equipment suppliers, this creates the conditions for new business opportunities in the field of prospecting, mining operations, extraction, and refinement, as well as system solutions within the infrastructure sector with respect to transportation, energy supply, and environmental facilities.
