The Russian Export Center (REC, part of VEB.RF) has announced the kickoff of the All-Russian contest "Exporter of the Year" in 2023, and started accepting applications as of April 10.
Applications can be submitted until June 30 by filling out an electronic form on the REC website.

"Today, we start accepting applications for the all-Russian competition known as "Exporter of the Year". Every year, we choose the best of the best exporters, celebrating companies that have achieved success in foreign markets. In the last two years, this contest has become even more relevant. We have seen entrepreneurs, even those in the toughest situation, find new opportunities and conquer new markets. Their example inspires those who are still thinking about going global. I invite everyone to take part in the competition and make themselves known," said Veronika Nikishina, Director General of the REC.

Joining the "Exporter of the Year" contest is free. Large companies, as well as small and medium-size enterprises, along with individual entrepreneurs, can take part in the event.
This year, the competition will have a new nomination for SMEs: "The best exporter in the sphere of electronic commerce". Any exporters of non-resource, non-energy products will be able to throw their hat into the ring.
Winners will be chosen in 20 nominations.
It is possible to apply for the main contest among large businesses and SMEs in the nominations of "Exporter of the Year in Industry", "Exporter of the Year in Engineering", "Exporter of the Year in Basic Agro-Industrial Products", "Exporter of the Year in Finished Food" (high redistribution), "Exporter of the Year in Services", and "Trader of the Year".
In addition, SMEs can still participate in the competition in additional categories: "Responsible Exporter (ESG)", "Best Female Exporter", "Best Young Business Exporter", "Breakthrough of the Year", and "Best Exporter in Electronic Commerce".
Large businesses, in addition to major ones, can also compete in the following categories: "Responsible Exporter (ESG)", "Best Female Exporter" and "New Geography".
Winners will be determined in two stages. For the first stage, at the level of each federal district, the winners will be announced from August to September (the dates of the ceremonies will be announced additionally). Then, the winners will be chosen from those companies that clinched first place in the district, at the federal level.
