Россия зовет!

The event will traditionally be a meeting point for heads of Russian and international companies, government officials, representatives of the financial and business communities, and foreign investors. The forum’s first-day agenda covers global macroeconomic trends, regional development in Russia, new partnerships, and securing funding for major investment projects. On the second day, discussions will focus on the domestic stock market, outlook for issuers, and retail investor strategies.

"The Russian economy is setting a course to unfreeze. To resume growth in 2027, it is crucial to launch a new investment cycle: we must transform accumulated capital, ideas, and expertise into higher productivity and new opportunities for both Russian and foreign investors. What should this new investment cycle look like? What is the most effective investment structure? What decisions are required from the state, business, and the financial sector to unlock the Russian economy's potential amidst ongoing pressure? We will discuss all of this at the VTB Investment Forum “RUSSIA CALLING!” in Moscow. It is a unique opportunity to gain firsthand insights directly from the heads of states and companies shaping the Russian agenda," said the President and Chairman of the VTB Management Board Andrey Kostin. 

Last year, the "RUSSIA CALLING!" forum expanded into Russia’s regions, and this year it has continued to broaden its geographical reach and format: across a number of cities, for the first time the program became a two-day event. Regional forums have already taken place in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Krasnoyarsk, drawing over 5,000 participants, including young investors. The next regional event will be held in Kazan.

The Moscow forum will take place in an in-person format. Anyone interested can join the live stream of the sessions on both days and hear the speakers live from anywhere in the world.
