The VI Interregional Industry Forum on Public-Private Partnerships left new projects, positive emotions, becoming a source of ideological inspiration for the further development of PPP in the regions
At the site of the Kazan IT Park named after. Bashir Rameev hosted the VI Interstate Industry Forum on Public-Private Partnership (PPP). The participants were representatives of 36 Russian regions of the country. More than 600 participants from all over Russia registered and took part in the forum.
This year’s event highlighted cases of using the PPP mechanism in various industries related to the successful implementation of projects in healthcare, education, sports, digitalization and housing and communal services.
“The PPP mechanism is an important part of the Russian economy, especially in the current geopolitical situation, when business needs state support, and the state needs to continue to update the infrastructure. In this sense, private money and a private approach to the operation of facilities are undoubtedly important. At the same time, business receives a stable income, and the population receives quality services in various social spheres, which are one way or another the responsibility of the state,” said First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Nigmatullin.
Two intensive days of the business program, 11 business industry panel discussions on problems and ways to solve them, sessions on measures to support mechanisms for cooperation between business and the state, a plenary session on the implementation of PPP projects in the regions and various fields, as well as a road show with the presentation of new modern projects based on the results of centralized training. Guests of the event took part in an interactive voting and answered questions: why did the guests come to the Forum, a priority direction for the development of PPP, an effective tool in this area.
