Kazan hosted a round table on mezzanine financing of major investment projects
Today, as part of the XVI The International Economic Forum "Russia – the Islamic World: KazanForum 2025" hosted a round table on the topic "Mezzanine financing as a tool for partnership finance in significant technological, infrastructural and industrial projects."
Mezzanine financing is a hybrid financial instrument that combines debt and equity instruments and allows, under certain conditions, to convert debt into equity in the company. For example, when putting an object into operation.
The event was organized by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan in cooperation with the regional Investment and Venture Fund for representatives of the technology business, including small technology companies.
The discussion was attended by leading experts in the field of finance, representatives of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation countries, state development institutions, relevant ministries and departments of the Republic of Tatarstan, and technology companies.
Special attention was paid to the advantages of this instrument over traditional forms of financing, the relationship between mezzanine financing and partnership finance, as well as development prospects in a changing economic situation.
The participants noted the practical value of the information received at the round table and expressed interest in further exploring the possibilities of a financial instrument for the development of their technological projects.
