Tatarstan Gulf Investment Company (TGIF) Begins Work on Kazan Smart City

Representatives of the Tatarstan Gulf Investment Company (TGIF) are currently in Kazan to hold working meetings surrounding their participation in Kazan Smart City.

Today TGIC officials met with Tatarstan Investment Development Agency (TIDA) Chief Executive Linar Yakupov, TIDA First Deputy Robert Galiullin, and Tatarstan Development Corporation (TDC) CEO Bulat Gayanov to discuss their future plans.

This visit to Kazan is nearly one month after TGIC officials met with President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov during the Annual Investment Meeting in Dubai on 30 April to discuss their company’s interest in participating in the development of Kazan Smart City. TGIF and TDC signed a memorandum of understanding immediately following that meeting.

TGIC officials expressed their certainty that projects similar to Kazan Smart City have enjoyed tremendous success globally and have been particularly useful in attracting new international business and investment and developing new sectors of the economy. TGIC is interested in becoming a partner in attracting investors and residents to Kazan Smart City from the Middle East.

TGIC representatives also met with various banks, construction companies, and other local businesses as possible partners in the development of Kazan Smart City.
