6 representatives of the Tatarstan investment team studied under the program of the Higher School of Economics of the Presidential Academy and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation
The program of the Higher School of Economics of the Presidential Academy and the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia "Managerial skills: development of regional teams" has completed its work this year. Almost 850 representatives of regional investment teams have been trained.
"In order to maintain sustainable economic growth, it is necessary to form a modern supply-side economy through the development of its own production facilities based on domestic technologies. And this requires private investment. Their growth in our economy and the speed of project implementation directly depend on the quality of work with local businesses. The program of the Higher School of Economics of the Presidential Academy allows to expand the competence of regional teams. It has been working for three years and has allowed to improve the skills of more than 2.6 thousand specialists in attracting investments to the regions of the country," said the Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Murat Kerefov.
The training program lasted six months full-time, as well as remotely during the intermodule period. Participants from 89 subjects, including new regions, received the necessary skills to form key institutions for working with investors. More than 80 experts conducted master classes, 39 interregional experience exchange visits and 50 online practice exchange broadcasts took place as part of the training. Tatarstan was represented by 6 employees of ministries and departments authorized to work on attracting investments.
The students also learned how to work with new elements of the standard: they compiled a regional investment profile, worked in a system for collecting feedback from businesses.
This year, in addition to representatives of the regions, employees of resource supply organizations and business associations who are also involved in the implementation of the regional investment standard and the assessment of the quality of the work done were trained according to the program.
"An important principle is that participants learn from concrete examples. In this program, we have brought together representatives of business and government – this allows us not only to hear the pains and tasks of everyone, but also to find real solutions to problems," said the Deputy Director of the Higher School of Economics of the Presidential Academy Oleg Kondratenko.
The task of the regional investment standard is to shorten the investor's path from the emergence of an idea to the implementation of capital investments. Together with business associations, six institutes of the standard were developed: an investment declaration, a map, a committee, a development agency, a set of investment guidelines and a system for collecting feedback from businesses. The quality of the implementation of the standard is assessed by the largest business associations. After the creation of a modern system for launching investment projects, an improvement in the positions of a number of regions in the national investment rating is recorded.
