Today, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan hosted a meeting between Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Albert Karimov, Minister of Transport and Roads Farid Khanifov, Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt RUS Eugen Alles, and Regional Director of Hyve Expo International Dmitry Zavgorodny.
The participants to the meeting discussed issues relating to the promotion of Tatarstan as the main Russian investment platform for the automotive and motor transport industries, and came to a conclusion that it is necessary to consider holding the International Automotive and Investment Forum of Tatarstan on a regular basis starting from 2022. The Forum will be attended by a wide range of high-ranking guests from various countries and regions who are interested in strategic cooperation with Tatarstan, companies of KAMAZ Group, YeLAZ, Sollers Group, and other machine-building organisations of Tatarstan and neighbouring regions of Russia.
It is planned that one of the co-organisers of the Automotive Investment Forum will be Kazanskaya Yarmarka, whose team, jointly with Messe Frankfurt, have been successfully running the TIAF (Tatarstan International Automotive Forum supported by Automechanika) for 5 years now.
The venue for the Forum could be the Kazan Expo exhibition centre, located within walking distance of the Kazan Airport and equipped with state-of-the-art technology for hosting events at the highest international level.
