Approximately 20 events are expected, said Damir Galiev, Director of the Investment Venture Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan, at a press conference with TASS.
"We also aim to develop the international component. And this year, accordingly, the emphasis will be on the BRICS countries. We expect a large delegation from China. There will also be a large number of representatives from Uzbekistan, Armenia, and Belarus," Galiev said.
According to him, the forum is divided into three blocks - congress, exhibition, and communication.
In the exposition, Galiev noted, both startups and representatives of the innovation infrastructure will participate - universities, technoparks, industrial parks, special economic zones, and IT parks. "50 technology startups from all over Russia will present their solutions at their stands," he said.
