From September 30 to October 1, specialists from the regional Agency for Development and Investment conducted training seminars for representatives of the executive authorities of the municipalities of the Omsk region. The events were held as part of professional retraining at the Omsk State University Business Education Center.
Thus, the specialists of the Agency's project planning and support department revealed two large-scale topics for the participants: "Investment projects of the Omsk region (Register of Large-scale investment Projects of the Omsk region. Regional registers of investment projects)" and "Barrier-free environment for attracting investments".
On the first day of the training, representatives of the districts of the Omsk region reviewed the concept of large-scale investment projects, examples of projects that are being implemented in the region. The main topic of discussion was also off-budget investment projects that are being implemented and are planned to be implemented in 2021 and subsequent years.
During the second working day, the seminar participants reviewed the real practices of attracting investments. In the format of panel discussions, we identified the barriers that arise in the process of attracting investments and possible ways to eliminate them.
"During the two-day joint work, we identified which sectors of the regional economy currently have the support of the regional government, which investors the region needs, and why the investment climate depends on municipalities. After all, it is the administration of a district or city that is a key link in supporting the business community and shaping the investment climate of both an individual municipality and the entire region. Such business events are a good experience not only for heads of municipalities, but also for employees of the Project Planning and Support Department," the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency noted.
