“Delegations from China were hungry for information”
The head of the Tatarstan Agency for Investment Development, Talia Minullina, shared her impressions of “SPROUTS” at a press conference following the forum:
“They didn’t leave the event site, asked a lot of questions about Tatarstan, left contacts - we really liked the mood for constructive work.”
Such interest from the Chinese side inspired the forum organizers to expand the range of issues that will be covered next year. The dates for “SPROUTS” in 2024 are already known - November 14-15. Already now, company representatives want to reserve a place at the exhibition, and partners are offering the organizing committee new topics for panel discussions. The most popular sessions among the forum participants this time were sessions on machine tool building, medicine of the future, topics of negotiating with China, entering the Chinese market, inter-parliamentary and inter-party dialogue - a total of 44 sessions were held. 50 VIP guests came to the ROSTKOV forum of cities.
“This platform has proven its worth since the first year - 21 agreements in various fields, as well as a number of investment initiatives in semiconductors, laser equipment, drone production and other types of industry. In marketing terms, we are creating a funnel that will allow us to very soon receive results from close scientific, technical, trade cooperation and partnerships in the humanitarian sphere,” noted Talia Minullina. The Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Kazan, Xiang Bo, summed up that the first step has been taken, and our first SPROUTS will turn into a fruit-bearing tree.
