Dear Forum participants!
The First Voronezh investment Forum "Regional
Partnership - Competitive Russia" is to take place in Voronezh, June 26-28.
The event is expected to have all-Russia significance. More than a thousand
delegates are to come to the Forum: heads of federal and regional
authorities, representatives of Russian and foreign business, scientific
community and public organizations.
Investment capacities of Voronezh area would be
demonstrated by the Forum "Investment Ground". As to rates of investment
growth, Voronezh region is the fourth among 18 regions of the Central Federal
district. 250 investment projects supported by local and federal budgets
have been implemented in the area. Renowned foreign companies have been
involved with the eight of them. The current area investment portfolio
exceeds 600 bln rubles, including completed and planned projects. The
figure is indicative of the area economic progress. Successful economic
achievements made our area attractive for investors.
The First Voronezh investment Forum "Regional
Partnership - Competitive Russia" is an event of importance. It will
utilize to the utmost the adjacent territories' experience and potential.
No doubt, the Forum will contribute to investment attractiveness of Russian
regions. I wish all the participants a fruitful work, interesting contacts
and implementation of new promising investment projects into practice.

Monuments
Voronezh is famous for its striking and distinctive monuments. For instance,
Liziukov Street is decorated by a scene from the Soviet cult cartoon “A kitten
from Liziukov street”, whose main character chanced to find himself in Africa
and was eager to get back home. There are other monuments devoted to animals:
White Bim Black Ear (a character from a novelette of the same name by
G.Troepolsky) and a swine. The latter was initiated by a local slaughterhouse –
the immortalized swine Mamka was the first representative of a new breed,
resulted due to four-breed crossing to correspond to European standards.
