Vitaliy Khotsenko: Explosive growth in development is possible if businesses believe in their land and invest in it

Governor Vitaly Khotsenko took part in the strategic session "PRO INVEST 2.0".

The event was held with experts from the Agency for Strategic Initiatives for the Promotion of New Projects for government authorities, investors, entrepreneurs and business associations.

As part of the strategic session, the Omsk Region business community was presented with a draft roadmap for improving the National Investment Attractiveness Rating in the Omsk Region.  In the regional congress hall, in the course of teamwork, the participants of the thematic groups considered various aspects of the new investment project support system, additional business needs in their implementation, the expediency and effectiveness of the proposed tools.

The priority of the objectives of the strategic session is to receive feedback from investors and the business community on measures to improve the investment climate in the region.

Vitaly Khotsenko noted that the investment development of the Omsk region is one of the most important priorities and key factors for the success of the region.  To become one of the leaders in terms of investment attractiveness in the country, you need to have ample opportunities to conduct successful business in various industries.

"Today, all regions are working on the task set by the President of the country to improve the investment climate.  And the Omsk region is no exception. Our development depends on how a business "feels" in any geographical point of the country. Explosive growth in development is possible if only private, commercial businesses believe in their land and invest in it. We definitely have something to work on in order to become one of the leaders of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives' investment attractiveness rating. It depends on what conclusions we draw today, whether we walk or run further. We need to strive for the best results," said Vitaliy Khotsenko.

The proposals developed and formed as a result of this work will be included in the roadmap for improving the Omsk Region's position in the National Investment Climate Rating. The goal is to reach the TOP 10 Russian regions in this ranking.
