The Republic of Belarus is one of the capital's most important trade and economic partners. Following the implementation of the Moscow Export Center (MEC) support programs in 2025, this country became a leading importer of goods. Moscow entrepreneurs are actively developing cooperation with partners in Belarus with the MEC's support, supplying a wide range of goods—from high-tech products to food products—as well as providing services in a wide range of sectors.
"The Republic of Belarus has traditionally been one of Moscow's main trade and economic partners. By the end of 2025, thanks to the Moscow Export Center's support, Moscow entrepreneurs had signed contracts with Belarusian partners totaling 1.6 billion rubles. We see potential for developing and strengthening cooperation with the Belarusian business community and are ready to facilitate this process. The Moscow Export Center's support helps companies not only enter this market but also successfully establish themselves there, building long-term business relationships," said Vitaly Stepanov, General Director of the Moscow Export Center.
Through participation in the "Export Mentoring" acceleration program, one Moscow company will supply licensed software to Belarus, while another will provide marketing services to Belarusian clients.
Following its participation in the TIBO international information and communications technology exhibition as part of the Made in Moscow program, the Moscow-based company signed a contract with a Belarusian counterparty to supply a GNSS receiver—specialized radio equipment that accurately determines coordinates by receiving and processing signals from satellite navigation systems.
In recent years, as part of the Made in Moscow program, the Moscow Export Center has organized the participation of Moscow companies in two international exhibitions and three business missions, including a reverse one, to Belarus. The latter enabled representatives of the Belarusian business community to meet with partners from the capital.
This work will continue this year: in June, Moscow companies will present their high-tech products to potential partners at the International Economic Center's business mission in Minsk.
The Moscow Export Center offers Moscow companies over 30 services across three support areas. First, educational events and acceleration programs help entrepreneurs develop a sound export strategy. Second, international promotion. The MEC organizes businesses' participation in international exhibitions and business missions under the unified Made in Moscow brand, facilitates access to international marketplaces, and supports entrepreneurs through its representatives abroad. Third, financial support, including export grants and preferential loans, helps develop the international component of a business.
Moscow Export Center was created by the Moscow Government in 2017 to provide financial and non-financial support to the city's entrepreneurs to promote Moscow goods and services in foreign markets. Its work is overseen by Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of the City of MoscowOne of the key objectives of the Moscow Export Center is to increase the number of Moscow exporters and their export revenues. Today, the Center provides comprehensive support to Moscow businesses, from preparation and training for foreign economic activity to promoting businesses abroad, sales support, and financial incentives after the conclusion of export contracts. The Center's current toolkit includes over 30 support measures.
As part of the implementation of the national project International Cooperation and Export One of Russia's national development goals is planned to be achieved: by 2030, the volume of non-resource, non-energy exports should increase by at least two-thirds compared to 2023 levels. Moscow is consistently working to achieve these targets, including through programs to support export-oriented entrepreneurs in the capital.
