Russia is one of the world’s most important emerging markets, defined by both its size and its growth potential. Despite the difficulties of the global financial crisis the Russian economy is expected to grow by up to 3% in 2010; and with a population of 140 million, this market offers an abundance of opportunities for UK businesses.

 

If you are interested in establishing or expanding business links with Russia, why not join Russia Midlands Business Club in partnership with emita for their next networking evening which is taking place on Thursday 25 March at Pride Park Stadium in Derby.

 

The evening will provide an excellent opportunity for you to find out more about doing business in Russia and will include:

 

·         Insights from regional companies who have recently participated in a market visit to Moscow. They will share their views on the current trading conditions and their experiences of meeting Russian businesses, building contacts and the opportunities available in the market.

 

·         The chance to network with like minded businesses both interested in and already doing business with Russia.

 

·         Access to the support on offer that could help your business go further in this potentially lucrative market.

 

·         The opportunity to win two economy tickets to Russia courtesy of BMI in the prize draw.

 

Supported by Enterprise Europe Network and UKTI, this event will commence with registration and welcome drinks from 5.30 pm, with the presentations beginning at 6.00 pm.
