The EEF was established in May 2015 with the goal of speeding up the economic development of the Russian Far East and expanding mutually-rewarding cooperation in Asia and the Pacific.
Even though the Eastern Economic Forum is a relatively new phenomenon in Russia’s economic life, it has already generated a great deal of interest from local and foreign businessmen.
According to Alexander Galushka, Minister of Development of the Russian Far East, the EEF-2015 will bring together around 4,000 entrepreneurs and investors from 24 countries, including Russia.
The EEF will be held on September 3-5 in the Russian city of Vladivostok as a platform for dialogue between international investors, the Russian government and countries of the Asia-Pacific Region.
Over 200 investment projects valued at over 4.7 trillion rubles ($70.4 billion) will be presented at the forum.
