Current mechanisms for attracting financing and the prospects of the stock market were discussed at a practical forum in Kazan
A practical forum for Tatarstan business representatives "InvestDay in Kazan: Pre-IPO and Debt Markets as new business Growth Drivers" was held in Kazan at the Idea Technopark, where more than 100 participants discussed current financing mechanisms and stock market prospects.
Special attention was focused on two key aspects: Pre-IPO and debt markets. The event was organized by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan in cooperation with the Investment and Venture Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Moscow Stock Exchange and the Idea Technopark as part of the Kazan Digital Week–2025 International Forum.
Emil Khismatov, Deputy Director of the Entrepreneurship Development Department of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan, delivered a welcoming speech at the practical forum, noting that the government is strengthening support for companies entering the capital market.
"This year, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia launched an IPO and Pre-IPO subsidy program, which opens up unprecedented opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses in Russia and strengthens national economic sovereignty. At the same time, the Center for Engineering and Innovation Support has implemented a large-scale grant support program for high-tech companies with revenues of up to 10 billion rubles, which covers key costs from auditing to marketing. This allows us to reduce barriers, make access to the stock exchange more accessible, and also bring Russian businesses to the global financial arena on our own terms," he stressed.
The event was also attended by the Guarantee Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan, subordinate to the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan. It should be noted that the Fund operates a "Single window for supporting investment projects through financial market instruments," whose specialists provide free consulting services in the selection of alternative lending instruments – digital financial assets, bonds and IPOs.
Financial Director Elena Pustovoit noted in her speech about such consulting support for the deal on the issue and placement of the CFA of the ENELT Group of Companies. The company became one of the first participants to take advantage of the opportunities of a Single Window.
Renat Baybikov, Financial Director of Bionovatik Group, whose company also attracted borrowed funds under the guarantee of the Guarantee Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan for the development of the company, also spoke about the successful use of stock market instruments in his speech.
Within the framework of the practical forum, the Guarantee Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan held a number of consulting negotiations with the business community of Tatarstan on the provision of advisory support for the issuance of CFAs and bonds, as well as on guarantee support in the form of guarantees to small and medium–sized businesses carried out within the framework of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy".
