The investment team of the Republic of Tatarstan began training at the Presidential Academy

Investment teams from 45 Russian regions, including a team from the Republic of Tatarstan, began training at the Presidential Academy. The RANEPA Higher School of Public Administration, together with the Ministry of Economic Development, launched an educational program for investment teams of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation "Managerial excellence - development of regional teams."

It has been updated for professionals who are implementing a new investment standard. Participants will gain the necessary skills to form the elements of the standard, improve their investment and financial competencies, and get acquainted with the best regional experience. Teams from 45 regions of Russia participate in the training. The team from Tatarstan included 25 people.

“The new reality requires a quick restart of work with business. The development of territories now will depend not only on the quality of work with investors and on the speed of implementation of the projects themselves. First of all, it is necessary to help the business to rebuild. Correctly identify growth points in the regions, find new niches and markets, offer understandable and favorable conditions,” said Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov at the opening of the program.

“The Presidential Academy has many years of experience in preparing investment teams capable of effectively responding to the most complex challenges. Graduates of the program will have to work in difficult conditions and solve fundamentally new tasks. Today, the well-being and development of both specific regions and our entire country depend on them. I am sure that within the framework of the program, students will receive all the necessary knowledge and tools in order to quickly show real results,” said Vladimir Mau, Rector of the RANEPA.

The regional investment standard of the Ministry of Economic Development is designed to simplify business scaling by creating a single client path, regardless of the region. The work on its formation is supervised by the First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov.

The first to work on the creation of the standard in 2021 were 12 subjects, including the Republic of Tatarstan. Another 30 regions joined in 2022. This spring, the number of participants expanded: the Saratov and Vladimir regions and the Republic of Buryatia also began work to improve the investment climate. This work is under the personal control of the governors.

For reference

The regional investment standard is based on the best practices of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in attracting investors. To implement the standard, the regions approve investment declarations with obligations to not worsen conditions. Investment development agencies and committees are being created to support projects and resolve disputes. Investment maps of regions and a set of rules with optimal algorithms for connecting to the infrastructure are being formed.
