Made in Russia" project attracted 125 million rubles of private investment to scale and develop the company in the near future.

Funding will be used to expand the staff, increase sales, marketing and management.

The staff expansion will allow the project to implement ahead of schedule and launch digital services to support platform participants, said Mikhail Sadchenkov, Deputy Director of Roscongress and Head of Made in Russia. He said that the project will significantly expand the editorial team, launch information and content support services for companies and ensure the digitalization of the trading house. Thanks to this, it will be possible to create a full-fledged export and import support service for the brand's clients.

"We are at the final stage of the journey to create a full-fledged external sales, advertising, analytics and foreign trade support office for all types of businesses," he clarified.

Since the establishment of the brand in 2015, eight Russian regions have joined the platform. The general partners of the project are Roscongress Foundation, Otkritie Financial Corporation and Sistema JSFC.

This year, Roscongress became the founder of the project in a joint venture format. The foundation has previously supported the project in the promotion and coverage of its activities at key conventions and exhibitions, including SPIEF, WEF and the Russian Investment Forum. In addition, Roscongress provided the opportunity to work with its own audience and network, which has more than 130 foreign economic partners in 70 countries.

According to Alexander Stuglev, chairman of the board and director of the fund, Roscongress supports projects and initiatives aimed at business development.

"We are glad that the Made in Russia digital platform has interested private investors. We wish success in further development, synchronization and harmonization of plans and tasks with all institutions interested in supporting Russian business and scaling this project," he said.
