At the Russian Investment Forum, the Roscongress Foundation and the All-Russia Public Organization ‘Youth Social and Economic Initiatives’ signed an agreement to attract youth potential for resolving urgent issues concerning the social and economic development of Russian regions, cities and villages.
The agreement is intended to facilitate creation of a communications environment for young people from different regions of the Russian Federation and representatives of federal and regional authorities, big business and the expert community. Ultimately, such communication should promote young people’s projects and initiatives. In addition, it is planned within the scope of the co-operation to organize exhibitions, as well educational and convention events in the form of advisory sessions, webinars, forums, roundtable discussions and conferences.

In turn, the Union experts will prepare proposals for drawing up business meeting agenda of events held by the Roscongress Foundation.

I am sure the agreement will also promote a sense of patriotism among young people and a love towards their birthplace through responsible and meaningful participation in its development”, Roscongress Foundation CEO Alexander Stuglev commented following the signing of the agreement.
