On April 11 Kazan, the tech-friendly capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, 800 km east of Moscow, will host an array of startup and ICO entrepreneurs as well as top VCs, cryptocurrency investors, corporations and representatives of government agencies.
They will meet at the Russian Venture Forum (RVF), a high-profile annual event which has become over the years one of the largest opportunity for discussions, negotiations and networking with leading industry figures in Russia.
Among the expected speakers, to name just a few, are Tatarstan President Rustam Minikhanov and Russian Presidential Aide Andrei Fursenko as well as Alexander Galitsky, co-founder of Almaz Capital; Alexey Girin, General Partner of Starta Venture; Alexandra Johnson, President of Global Technology Capital; Nail Naganov, General Manager of oil company Tatneft; and Albina Nikkonen, President of the Russian Venture Capital Association.
The program will include a variety of features revolving around innovation and industry trends, investment activity and cases of “cutting-edge Russian and foreign pilot projects.”
Thus, some “50 carefully selected, yet little-known Russian innovative companies” operating in such fields as blockchain, industrial and financial technologies will be presented to event participants.
The Forum aims to become a “club of like-minded people” aiming to promote and foster technologies of the future, and an “entry point” to direct investment and venture capital.
In total, the organizers expect more than 3,000 attendees from Russia and dozens of countries to attend the event this year.
