We would like to remind you that, on 30 June, applications for participation in the nationwide Exporter of the Year contest will close. The Exporter of the Year Award was established by the Russian Government to encourage organisations and individual entrepreneurs who have achieved exceptional results in export activities.
The Award winners will be determined in two stages. The winners of the first stage - at the level of each federal district - will be announced from August to September. Then, the winners of the federal contest will be selected from the first-place winners at the district level. The award ceremony for federal stage winners will take place in November at the Made in Russia International Export Forum with the participation of top government officials.
Export results for 2020 will be evaluated separately for SMEs and large businesses in six categories: “Exporter of the Year in Manufacturing Industry”, “Exporter of the Year in Agriculture”, “Exporter of the Year in Services”, “High-Tech Exporter of the Year”, and “Trader of the Year”. In addition, each applicant may apply for participation in the “Breakthrough of the Year” (for SMEs) or “New Geography” (for large businesses).
The contest is supported by VEB.RF, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, and the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media.
