An introduction to the potential for investment and incentive programmes offered by Moscow region for Italian businesses operating in the Russian Federation. That was the focus of the meeting hosted by the Italian Ambassador to Moscow, Antonio Zanardi Landi, with the participation of Moscow Region’s new Minister for Investment, Gleb Bondarenko. Participants included representatives of the Institute for Foreign Trade (ICE) Office, the leaders of the main Italian business associations, senior managers from Unicredit, Banca Intesa and Ubibanca, and representatives of the Cremonini Group.
Simplification and incentives for investment in the region
During the meeting, the main investment opportunities were illustrated, as were the steps taken by the Region to cut red tape and provide tax incentives. Given its vicinity to the capital, the area offers significant advantages, most notably in terms of logistics and access to the market. The Russian authorities also intend to develop a number of projects in the infrastructure and construction sectors – hence the interest in potential Italian investment.
