On December 18-19, the second meeting of Vnesheconombank's regional managers was held. The event brought together managers from 52 regions of the Russian Federation who have passed a multi-stage selection system, as well as representatives of business and government.
Chairman of VnesheconombankSergey Gorkov summed up the work of the regional managers of the first wave of selection: "The new work model is already yielding results. In just a month and a half, the Bank received 112 applications from regional managers, of which 20 are under preliminary examination, and 3 projects are already under active study. It is important to understand that VEB is looking for high-quality projects that would be consistent with the bank's new strategy. The VEB 3.0 strategy is the formation of an innovative economy in the country, it is a national platform for the development of state-owned industries, it is a new approach and a new type of tools."
According to the results of a multi-stage competitive selection on the online platform Leader-ID of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, a representative of OmskSergey Sumenkov was selected for the position of regional manager of the state Corporation Bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs (Vnesheconombank) in the Omsk region. Vnesheconombank is implementing a new approach to the search and selection of investment projects to replenish the Bank's loan portfolio, forming a network of its representatives on a federal scale. This is how 84 regional managers in 52 regions of the Russian Federation were identified. They will select projects starting from 1 billion rubles and lasting from 5 years, which correspond to the strategic priorities of the updated VEB, as well as projects for the project finance factory. The goal of VEB's new model of working with regions is to create a wide funnel of projects and search for them locally. To do this, we have regional managers, an online platform, and our partners.
Sergey Sumenkov will search for investment projects in the regions of the Russian Federation in the interests of VEB, as well as assist project initiators in cooperation with the Bank. Their work will make it possible to form a wide funnel of regional projects within the framework of VEB's new investment process.
