The U.S. Commercial Service
and
THE RUSSIAN-AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN THE USA
proudly present their joint
“Exporting to Russia Forum”
Have you considered Russia as an export destination?
140 million customers await your answer!
With its vast natural resources, impressive human capital and 140 million consumers, Russia is a fast developing market with tremendous opportunities for U.S. exporters.
Russia’s emerging middle class and growing industrial base are fueling demand for a broad array of goods and services: Russia’s current construction boom is creating a great need for construction equipment and building materials; franchise businesses in Russia are growing in both the food and non-food sectors; Russian infrastructure upgrades in power generation and telecommunications are generating opportunities for related services and equipment; and Russia’s significant energy market is driving demand for oil and gas equipment and services.
To learn more about the opportunities - and challenges - of Russia as an export destination for Georgia companies, the U.S. Export Assistance Center of Atlanta and the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce their jointly organized “Exporting to Russia Forum.”
