Governor Viktor Nazarov signed an agreement with the Russian Export Center

Omsk region is included in the REC educational program for training start-up exporting companies in the basics and management of export activities.

The Russian Export Center has launched a project aimed at providing systematic educational support to exporters in the country's regions. The implementation of this program in the Omsk Region will be carried out on the basis of an agreement between the Government of the Omsk Region and the REC, concluded today as part of the Russian Investment Forum in Sochi.

The document was signed by Governor Viktor Nazarov and General Director of the Russian Export Center Joint Stock Company Peter Fradkov. The General Director of the Export School educational organization, Alicia Nikitina, also took part in the signing of the agreement. Omsk region became the third region with which the agreement was signed.

The Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency and the Export School of the Russian Export Center are authorized to act as operators of the educational program.

Omsk small and medium-sized enterprises will receive a knowledge base for a successful and effective start of export activities. This will allow them to become active exporters. The training program consists of 11 practice-oriented training courses, including: "Introduction to export. The life cycle of an export project. Government support for export-oriented enterprises", "Effective marketing for exporters", "Business communication in export activities", "Legal support for export activities".

The region undertakes obligations to organize training, and the REC, free of charge, selects, trains and certifies regional candidates with the involvement of third-party experts at the federal level, and provides its own educational program, methods, standards and educational materials.

The implementation of a training program for start-up exporting companies on the basics and management of export activities will begin in the Omsk region in 2017.

In addition, there is a Coordination Center for the support of export-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises in the region. The Center supports the export and promotion of investment projects of small and medium-sized enterprises of the Omsk region in foreign markets, and facilitates the entry of small and medium-sized enterprises of the Omsk region into international markets of goods, services and technologies. Based on the results of the work carried out, more than 40 contracts were signed in 2016.

"We have an Export Support Center in the region, so signing the Agreement will help attract mutually beneficial instruments to support Omsk businesses and realize the export potential of Omsk companies not only in existing markets, but also expand them. We carry out point-to-point configuration for everyone who applies to the Export Support Center for the selection of sales markets focused on Omsk products," said Governor Viktor Nazarov.
