To all the participants, sponsors, and guests of Marine Industry of Russia Forum devoted to civil shipbuilding, ship repair, navigation and ports

On behalf of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, I would like to greet all the participants, sponsors, and guests of Marine Industry of Russia Forum for civil shipbuilding, ship repair, navigation and ports!

Marine Industry of Russia Forum is an industry-oriented event capable of giving a new impetus to the development of shipbuilding complex, port infrastructure, marine science as well as related industries. Considering this and taking into account the importance, immensity and social-economic significance of the event for the shipbuilding industry, RUIE supported the idea of holding the Forum.

Intense business-programme of the Forum will allow discussing practical measures for retrofitting and reequipping shipbuilding industry, extensive utilization of private-public partnership and leasing agreements, development of cooperation, attracting domestic and foreign investments to the industry.

Great number of well known Russian and foreign enterprises, scientific and engineering organizations participating in the exposition will encourage the development of up-to-date shipbuilding production, port facilities, new projects and technologies, interregional and international networking as well as will serve as a platform for sharing experience among specialists.

I wish all the participants, sponsors and guests of the Forum efficient work, new business contacts and every success!
