Best exporters of Volga Federal District identified
The united regional competition committee of the All-Russian Exporter of the Year Award selected 10 winners in the Volga Federal District. According to the decision of the committee, which consisted of representatives of federal ministries, export support centres, the Russian Export Centre, and business associations, both small and mid-size businesses, as well as large industrial enterprises became the winners.
The prize is awarded to organisations and individual entrepreneurs who have achieved the greatest success in exports of non-energy commodities, works and services, as well as results of intellectual activity.
The Exporter of the Year award does not just fix the obvious leaders, but also identifies promising enterprises and entire economic segments, which might have been less visible without it. It is noteworthy that there is a wide representation of companies from different levels and scales among the winners, but which are equally ready for breakthrough projects. The system of government support for non-resource non-energy exports thus becomes more targeted and finely tuned.
The winners of the regional competitions will take part in the second, federal stage. The award ceremony for the winners of the federal stage will take place at the Made in Russia International Export Forum. The winners of the Exporter of the Year Award will receive various bonuses from the REC. Among them are training under an accelerator programme at the Export School in Moscow, as well as a wide range of information support measures for exporters.
