The President’s message reads, in part:
“You will be analysing current issues of small and medium business development, including better access to financial resources, commercialisation of science-intensive developments and support for exports, and removing red tape. All of these problems are a focus for the authorities’ attention.
I hope that your forum will help to develop public-private partnership and create a better business climate in Russia, and that the exchange of experience with colleagues from abroad will help our country’s small and medium-sized businesses develop their full potential.”
