10:00–11:30 Tools for Regional Growth Panel session Conference hall 3.1 Between Scylla and Charybdis: State Supervision and Oversight Reform – Balancing Business Freedom and Civic Prosperity

A region’s investment climate and business prosperity depend to a large degree on the quality of its licensing, supervisory, and oversight activities. Is it possible to create an ideal system of state supervision? What progressive trends have been seen in state supervision in the twenty-first century? Can a balance be found between government supervision and civic oversight? To what extent are the monitoring and oversight reforms being introduced in different countries universal? What lessons can and should be scaled, and what practices should be treated with caution?

Four years ago, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives launched the National Enterprise Initiative (NEI), which aims to radically improve conditions for doing business in Russia. For the first time in Russia’s history, entrepreneurs began to work with state bodies and the expert community to develop road maps (action plans for improving the business climate in Russia). Thanks largely to the implementation of these road maps, Russia soared from 120th to 51st place in the World Bank’s ease of doing business index. How much simpler is it to do business now? Have the adopted laws been implemented effectively? What types of monitoring tools should be employed to assess project performance? What recent progress has been made with the project, and what still remains to be done?

10:00–11:30 Tools for Regional Growth Panel discussion Conference hall 3.3 The Export Potential of the Regions: from Discovery to Reality

The regions of the Russian Federation lack uniform standards and a universal package of tools with which to support exporters. At the same time, there are success stories that demonstrate the effectiveness of a pro-export approach to regional development. What is the export potential of the various Russian regions? What goods are currently being exported by regional companies? What financial and non-financial support tools are available to regional export-oriented companies? What role do the administrations of Russia’s regions play in supporting Russian exporters?

10:00–11:30 Sustainable Economic Development Panel session Conference hall 3.10 The Cost of Economic Restrictions: Successes and Future Prospects of an ‘About- Face’

The upgrade of key industrial assets and devaluation of the national currency have created favourable conditions for developing domestic production. In the current circumstances, the prospect that sanctions could be alleviated or even fully removed demands a search for new approaches to Russia’s economic development. The potential increase of Western investors in the Russian market could well place an additional burden on local manufacturers. How can the Russian economy remain competitive if protectionist measures are removed? How can potential new realities be reconciled with the current benchmarks of the Russian economy? How likely is an increase in investment from Europe and Northern America in the event of an end to external disputes?

10:00–11:30 Tools for Regional Growth Panel session Conference hall 3.5 A New Model for Heating Markets

The Ministry of Energy of Russia has issued a draft bill outlining a target model for the thermal energy market. The bill proposes changes to the system for regulating prices and economic relationships on the thermal energy market. Its aim is to reduce administrative pressures on business and to create economic incentives to improve the lamentable current state of the centralized heating supply system. Firstly, the role of the Single Heat Supply Organization (ETO) is set to change. The organization will become not only the sole purchaser and supplier of thermal energy within its area of activity, but also a centralized focus of accountability for the heat supply system with respect to both consumers and the government. To deliver on this task, the ETO has taken full responsibility for optimizing and developing the heat supply system as well as for improving its relationship with customers. Government authorities are monitoring the ETO’s efforts. The new market model proposes a switch from government regulation of all tariffs to contract prices on thermal energy. In order to protect the interests of end users, the price will be capped at the estimated heat cost from an alternative source – local boilers. The target model for thermal energy markets outlined in the above bill will be phased in gradually, allowing for the individual needs of regional and local thermal supply markets to be met. The transition will be implemented in cooperation with regional and local authorities at the level of the individual settlements and urban districts classed into specific price zones. It is expected that the new thermal energy market model will provide a stimulus for increased efficiency in heat production and bolster efforts to attract investment in the reconstruction of Russia’s outdated thermal supply system.

10:00–11:30 Tools for Regional Growth Panel discussion Conference hall 3.6 Developing the Territories: Modern Approaches to the Human Environment

The strategic task of the state is to improve the affordability of housing while ensuring the development of a comfortable and high-quality urban environment. As the potential for infill development is very limited, priority should be given to the development of built-up and unused sites, particularly industrial zones being used inappropriately, and inefficiently run state-owned land plots. To ensure integrated territorial development, it is necessary to develop and implement uniform standards for the development and improvement of residential areas and the creation of well-planned infrastructure. This means using innovative approaches and modern technology-led urban development solutions, including best international practices. Under what circumstances will integrated development projects be of interest to business? What are the criteria for choosing the various mechanisms for the implementation of such projects? Should urban amenity and environmental quality standards be established for each region? Is existing urban planning legislation effective? What is the future of industrial zones? Which global best practices could provide an example to follow?

10:00–11:30 Tools for Regional Growth Panel session Conference hall 3.7 Russia’s Regions and the EurAsEC Common Market: Production Chains

The common market of the five EurAsEC member states offers a key advantage – a single economic space for the creation of production chains between the regions of the different countries. Integration into global value chains, however, requires the implementation of an ambitious common industrial policy, aimed at developing priority sectors by making use of advanced technologies and the human capital of the EurAsEC member states. The ability of goods bearing a “Made in the EurAsEC” mark to effectively compete internationally could and should be a key factor determining success. What potential is there for developing value chains within the EurAsEC? What support tools are already in place in the EurAsEC, and how effective are they? How can a common industrial policy be achieved? Which goods and enterprises are already meeting global competitiveness requirements and have the potential to act as “engines”, driving the EurAsEC’s success in the international market?

In recent years, hundreds of new industries and businesses have been created in Russia. Small and medium-sized businesses respond more sensitively to economic changes. They also adapt more rapidly to new economic conditions and changing consumer demands. It is precisely small and medium-sized businesses that are the first to occupy emerging market niches. Using the example of production units set up over the last three years in Russia, businessmen will discuss aspects of developing business. What tasks are faced when launching a new production unit? What do small and medium-sized businesses see as an opportunity for qualitative growth of their presence in the market? How can the potential for operating in foreign markets be realized?

Thirty-four special economic zones (SEZs) have been established in Russia to attract Russian and foreign direct investment to Russia’s regions in the high-tech sectors, including in production as part of the import substitution effort, shipbuilding, and tourism. Are SEZs deserving of the state resources which have been spent? How many investors have invested in SEZs? What should be done to increase this figure? How can the system be made to work to its fullest potential?

14:45–16:15 Sustainable Economic Development Panel session Conference hall 3.3 Cybercrime is a Key Threat to World Economic Growth. Is Russia Prepared to Face New Challenges?

The world has been changing, technological progress has been accelerating general advancement and creating new markets. Living standards can grow for most people thanks to these positive developments. Total digitalization and other tech breakthroughs have been forcing companies to change traditional practices and approaches to doing business. Change has been affecting all sectors of economies, and the speed of adaptation has been turning into a swinging factor for the survival of businesses. Unfortunately, the criminal community has been adapting to technological advancements just as quickly. Modern cyber attacks have been increasingly targeted, automated and simple in execution, while hacker communities have been turning increasingly diversified and globalized. The losses for the world economy from cybercriminal activities topped USD 500 billion, and, according to some experts, might reach USD 2 trillion by 2019 without much vigorous response. To fight cybercrime, united efforts are required on the part of public institutions, financial and corporate sectors. Some moves have been already afoot in Russia. A number of far reaching decisions were adopted at a Sberbank-hosted meeting led by the Chairman of the Russian Government Dmitri Medvedev on 3 June 2016, tasks were given to prepare a project with the aim of creating a unified system of countering information security threats in the financial industry of Russia.

Germany remains Russia’s most important trading partner, having consistently figured in the top three countries in terms of trade with Russia, despite the decline in trade turnover between the two countries to USD 45.8 billion in 2015. Overcoming external differences is key to developing the bilateral relationship. A number of institutional initiatives are under way, aimed at strengthening dialogue and stabilizing the rules of the game. These include special investment contracts and the Agency for Technology Transfer. The business community has kick-started business platforms designed to overcome existing economic issues and barriers. The revival of the Russian–German strategic working group was an important milestone. What new forms of mutually beneficial cooperation could be useful in restoring trade to its former level?

Sustainable economic growth in the five countries that constitute the is largely determined by the success of their common trade policy. The centrepiece of this is the creation of joint foreign economic targets within the EurAsEC agenda, as subsequently reflected in policy documents, Eurasian Union decisions, and agreements with foreign partners. In what areas do we have common economic interests? What targets should be addressed by the EurAsEC’s common trade policy in support of an export-oriented economy? How effective have existing joint projects been in encouraging mutual economic growth? Could a leading economic position help the EurAsEC make the concept of Greater Eurasia a reality?

There is ample opportunity for Russia to develop its tourism industry; however the potential for domestic tourism services is still far from being fully exploited. The highly competitive nature of the global tourism market calls for the creation of a maximally attractive, comprehensive approach to increasing the country’s competitiveness as a tourist destination. This requires maintaining a balance between the interests of the state, business, and local residents in tourist areas. What is holding the domestic tourism industry back today? What are the needs and expectations of tourists? What initial steps need to be taken to improve the competitiveness of domestic tourism offers? What is the growth potential for spa tourism in Russia and how could it contribute to solving the other challenges identified?

The Russian Federation is creating a plethora of support tools at various levels for small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs). Each region has its own methods for increasing its share of SMEs. What do these tools look like from a business perspective? Are they having a positive effect? How does business rate this support? Are new institutions really necessary, or should we rather stick to a ‘do not disturb’ policy? What role does small enterprise play in a region’s economic growth? What is the potential for duplication and ‘blind’ adoption of regional and municipal best practice?

17:00–18:30 Tools for Regional Growth Panel session Conference hall 3.6 Technology Transfer as a Tool for Increasing Investment Attractiveness in Business

The practice of import substitution and production localization shows that, within certain sectors, Russian goods are capable of competing with their global counterparts. However, Russian businesses are slow to adopt cutting-edge technologies. As a result, their effectiveness is significantly reduced compared to that of foreign competitors, something which is especially true of small and medium-sized businesses. The transfer of modern technologies through foreign direct investment is limited by many factors, including the risks that foreign investors currently associate with Russia. The task of the Agency for Technological Development, established in May 2016, is to provide support to Russian businesses in securing technology-led development in line with global trends and the requirements of both national economic development as a whole and of those individual enterprises in particular. In which sectors can Russian goods be competitive? What is the role of the Agency for Technological Development in the technological development of regional enterprise? What tools is it able to offer?

One of the state’s most important functions is to fulfil its social obligations. Despite the fact that social expenditure accounts for a substantial portion of regional budgets, the quality and accessibility of social services remain at unsatisfactory levels. How can the quality and accessibility of social services be significantly improved without increasing expenditure? Should we aim to provide social services to all citizens, or focus on meeting the needs of the most vulnerable populations? What must be done to increase the participation of the non-state sector and boost competition in this area?

Over the past five years, many regions have made significant breakthroughs in healthcare provision, but the quality of and access to care still varies widely. Reductions in mortality rates from major causes (cardiovascular diseases, cancer) are uneven across the country. The Russian Ministry of Healthcare has defined new medium-term priorities for Russian healthcare, including some which explicitly target the issues facing Russia’s regions, such as improving access to healthcare in remote areas and addressing the shortage of healthcare professionals. How should regions use these healthcare priorities to set their own medium-term goals? What is the most effective way to share best practices between regions, especially in terms of reducing mortality rates from major causes? How can we improve the quality of doctors, especially in primary care? How can we improve the supply of medicines to remote areas?

12:15–13:45 Competence Development Panel session Conference hall 3.6 Supporting Industry: New Tools

The Federal Law On Industrial Policy in the Russian Federation sets out a wide range of tools to support the implementation of industrial projects in Russia. One of these tools is the new special investment contract, designed to take cooperation between government and business to a new level. The distinguishing feature of this contract is the stable business conditions it offers to investors, who take on certain obligations to create and modernize industry. Effectively, this is a fundamentally new investment regime aimed at industrial investors from around the world and designed to rectify the ‘investment lapse’ in the non-financial sector. Furthermore, the law proposes a number of other tools to support and stimulate domestic industry, including financial and regulatory measures. What results have been observed after the introduction of these support tools? What are the government’s plans for the further development of new mechanisms?
