According to the plan, there are strategic sessions ahead with the Omsk community and students, as well as deputies of the legislative assembly of the Omsk region.

And this is the main driver for the development of the investment attractiveness of the Omsk region. This conversation was honest and open, with specific clear KPIs. It's great that lately our region has increasingly set itself the task of being the first, becoming a leader, and coming out on top. And today it has been mentioned several times for the purposes of the Agency. As an entrepreneur, I am very pleased to live and work in the Omsk region," Alexander Deryabin, Chairman of the Omsk regional branch of OPORA RUSSIA, shared his opinion.
