The main value of BRIF’25 for our company is the direct dialogue with the authorities, and we are glad to be part of such a large-scale regional business event. From registration to the on-site programme, everything was top-notch.

BRIF'25 is the key business event where government, business and academia meet to solve real problems. I would especially like to note the professionalism of the organising team, who managed to build a constructive dialogue – this is exactly what is needed to strengthen the investment climate.

For us, BRIF is a space where the future of the region's economy is shaped. I express my gratitude to the organisers for their professional preparation and for creating an atmosphere of trust, which is so necessary for large investments.

BRIF has once again confirmed its role as a platform for meaningful dialogue between education, business and the state. For the GSM SPbSU, it is especially important that the forum helps to involve students in solving real industry problems and creates conditions for training a new generation of managers. The Youth Track is a vivid example of how academic knowledge can be directly linked to the current needs of the economy and industry.

Participation in the forum confirmed that the Leningrad Region, in the context of industrial tourism, demonstrates not only a classic tool for attracting and retaining the population, but also the development and creation of competence centres that businessmen and industrial workers from all over the country are ready to visit.

For me, BRIF is a place where you can see the real state of affairs in the Russian economy. The relevance of the topics brought up for discussion – recession risks, sanctions pressure, the search for new markets – was at the highest level. I thank the forum team for the substantive programme.

We have been using the services of the "Green Corridor" since 2022, and I got the impression that the Committee for Economic Development of the Leningrad Region is a branch of "Lyubimy Krai". Because without their help, we would not have been able to achieve our current development indicators. Thanks to the "Green Corridor", we received an additional plot of land where we plan to build additional production and storage facilities in the coming years. So, I thank the entire team, especially Anastasia Viktorovna's team, for their help and hope that we will continue our cooperation.

I would like to note that the Leningrad Region has always been among the top in the investment attractiveness rating, which is why we chose this region for further work. For our project and its development, we first contacted the Agency in May of this year, and today we are already signing an agreement with the Governor – so in a fairly short period of time, we have covered a serious track. We confidently went from presenting the idea and packaging the project to the opportunity to sign an agreement and receive further support from the Agency. The credit for this goes largely to the Agency for Economic Development of the Leningrad Region and the economic bloc of the regional government. I want to say thank you! As a group that operates in more than 50 regions of the Russian Federation, we appreciate this approach to working with investors.

Our project is aimed at the development of the Leningrad Region in terms of import substitution. We are located in the Gatchina district and plan to produce polymer compounds and polymer compounds, as well as polymer bags from recycled plastic. The estimated investment is over 400 million rubles, and more than 50 jobs are expected to be created. First of all, this will be the production of construction bags – this is import substitution and a departure from Chinese and Indian products, our own processing of polymer secondary raw materials and the manufacture of products from them. Why do we need foreign waste and products made from it in our country?
