Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, who oversees the North Caucasus Federal District, held the first meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the Caucasus Investment Forum in 2026.

The event was attended by representatives of federal authorities, heads of regions that are part of the North Caucasus Federal District, top managers of the largest state corporations, members of business associations and public organizations, and representatives of industry communities.

The Caucasus Investment Forum is held in order to increase the investment potential of the North Caucasus Federal District and in the interests of its sustainable socio-economic development.

Opening the meeting, Alexander Novak thanked the organizers, members of the organizing committee, representatives of departments and companies that took part in organizing the Caucasus Investment Forum in 2025, noted the high assessment of the past event by the country's leadership, the high-quality composition of the participants, including foreign ones.

Over the three days, the forum was attended by over 4,100 people from 32 countries, including 1,450 representatives of Russian and foreign businesses, nine federal ministers, heads of four federal agencies, seven heads of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as high-ranking delegations from Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Kazakhstan and Qatar. 86 agreements worth over 206 billion rubles were signed, including five agreements with international partners. The forum program covered over 78 events with the participation of 440 speakers and an emphasis on key development areas – from industry and logistics to education and healthcare. Particular attention was paid to the youth agenda: over 1,000 students from 40 universities in the country took part in a rich program dedicated to career development, leadership and creative industries.

"The Caucasus Investment Forum 2025 in Mineralnye Vody was an important step forward – both in terms of organization and content. We were able to exceed last year's bar, and this is the result of the teamwork of all participants. The growth of investor interest in the region was demonstrated by the "Vershina" award – 266 applications from 49 regions. I believe it is important to continue holding it in 2026. The youth program covered key areas – IT, science, entrepreneurship, tourism. This confirms that the Caucasus has a strong human resource. Today, we are already starting preparations for the CIF-2026 in order to hold it even more effectively," said Alexander Novak.

Adviser to the President, responsible secretary of the organizing committee of the KIF-2025 Anton Kobyakov emphasized that the development of the North Caucasus is among the strategic priorities. He paid attention to the participation of Russian regions in the future Caucasus Investment Forum.

"I expect that the subjects of the Russian Federation and companies interested in investing in the North Caucasus Federal District will take a more active part in the preparation and holding of KIF-2026. It is important to have a mutual movement here: on the one hand, the regions' interest in the possibilities of the North Caucasus Federal District, on the other, the proactive position of the North Caucasus subjects and businesses themselves. It is necessary to present their projects more widely, attract partners, and form sustainable business ties. It is this approach – mutual interest and openness – that we will lay in the concept of the forum's exhibition program and the basis of the invitation campaign for KIF-2026 participants," said Anton Kobyakov.

The business program of KIF-2026 will be attended by heads of government bodies, representatives of Russian and international companies, mass media, youth and scientific communities. The forum will become a platform for negotiations and conclusion of business contracts for the purpose of developing investment projects and public-private partnerships in Russian regions.

The business program in 2026 will place special emphasis on expanding international economic cooperation, primarily with the countries of the Azov-Black Sea and Caspian basins. It is planned that representatives of these countries will actively participate in the forum, which will open up new opportunities for creating international transport and logistics routes and implementing joint investment projects in such areas as mining, ecology and cultural interaction.

According to the decision of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of KIF-2026, next year the forum will be held from May 17 to 19 in the city of Mineralnye Vody at the MinvodyExpo IEC.

The organizer of the CIF is the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Ministry of Economic Development.

The state corporation VEB.RF will provide preferential credit funds (with a Far Eastern subsidy) in the amount of 16 billion rubles for the construction of the world's first interstate cable car, which will connect Russia and China across the Amur River. In addition, three more projects in the Amur Region and Primorye will be financed. The implementation of these projects will ensure the creation of more than 1 thousand jobs. The corresponding decision was made following a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on the Socio-Economic Development of the Far East, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev.

"Attracting investment to the regions creates conditions for growth. We help all investors who are ready to work and develop the Far East, invest in the territory of Russia. Investors in the Far East receive a wide range of benefits provided by the conditions of preferential regimes, reimbursement of infrastructure costs. A number of projects significant for the Far East are already receiving preferential lending from the state corporation VEB.RF. We will continue to support investment projects aimed at developing the economy of the Far Eastern regions and improving the quality of life of Far Easterners," said Yuri Trutnev.

"VEB.RF will provide preferential financing in the amount of more than 16 billion rubles for the construction of the world's first interstate cable car, which will connect Russia and China via the Amur. Support will be provided, among other things, for the construction of a production and logistics complex in Belogorsk for the deep processing of soybeans and rapeseed, the creation of a fishing port on the Nazimov Peninsula in Vladivostok, and the construction of the Artem multimodal transport and logistics center in Primorsky Krai. The implementation of these projects will ensure the creation of more than 1,000 jobs," said Artem Dovlatov, Deputy Chairman of VEB.RF.

The Blagoveshchensk-Heihe cable car construction project is the creation of the world's first cable car that will connect not only neighboring cities, but also countries. The cross-border cable car is an innovative and high-tech infrastructure solution that facilitates communication between two neighboring countries. The project involves the construction of cable car stations and passenger terminals on opposite banks of the Amur River on the Russian and Chinese sides.

The project to create a cross-border cable car is being implemented within the framework of the intergovernmental agreement between Russia and China dated September 3, 2015. According to the design documentation, the journey along the future cable car from Blagoveshchensk to Heihe should take about three minutes, and the capacity of the cable car terminal will be 6,850 passengers per day, or up to 2.5 million passengers per year.

The project to build a production and logistics complex in the city of Belogorsk in the Amur Region will also receive preferential financing from the 16 billion rubles allocated by VEB.RF. Deep processing of soybeans and rapeseed will be organized at one of the largest processing plants in Russia. The new enterprise should be launched next year.

Two projects in Primorye will also receive support. The first is for the development of a fishing port on the Nazimov Peninsula (stage II) in Vladivostok. The project envisages the construction of a modern cold warehouse with a capacity of 25 thousand tons of one-time storage of fish products, a crab holding pool, and a site for storing refrigerated containers.

The second is the construction of the multimodal transport and logistics center "Artem". The creation of a high-tech logistics complex includes the construction of modern railway, terminal, warehouse and customs infrastructure: a container site, 70 km long intra-terminal railway tracks with a connection to the Artem-Primorsky-1 and Artem-Primorsky-2 stations of the Far Eastern Railway.

The draft Strategy for the Development of the Automotive Industry will be updated taking into account the need to improve support measures for domestic manufacturers. This instruction was given by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin following the results of strategic session on the development of the Russian auto industry.

State support measures provided to Russian automobile industry enterprises are to be developed for the main segments of motor vehicles. At the same time, the conditions for access to them must be defined, including a high actual level of localization of products, consumer properties of the car, as well as prospects for export deliveries. Performance indicators for each support measure will be fixed in the state program "Development of Industry and Increasing Its Competitiveness". The authorized ministries must submit their proposals on this matter by the end of November.

The draft strategy being finalized should also provide for measures to increase labor productivity in the industry and reduce production costs. Another instruction concerns the formation of a forecast for the structure of the vehicle fleet, taking into account the development of the market for transport on alternative types of fuel, unmanned and connected transport. In the process of this work, long-term plans for the development of public transport infrastructure, increasing requirements for environmental protection, changing consumer preferences of citizens should be taken into account, and the segmentation of vehicles by type of fuel depending on the purpose of the transport and types of transportation, taking into account their range.

In the course of updating the draft strategy for the development of the automotive industry, the authorized ministries will also have to work out issues of forming a technological map of cooperation between manufacturers of vehicles, automotive components and materials, and software developers in a manner similar to that for national projects to ensure technological leadership.

In addition, Mikhail Mishustin instructed to take into account the need to establish legal foundations for the functioning of the institute of chief designers, bearing in mind their participation in the formation of technological policy.

The strategic session on the development of the automotive industry took place on June 17. During his speech, Mikhail Mishustin emphasized that in order to strengthen technological sovereignty, it is important to expand industrial capacity, increase the production of domestic vehicles, and generally continue to form a modern ecosystem around the automotive sector.
