Caucasus Investment Forum 2026: Business Program Published

This is a key business event for developing the investment potential of Russian regions and strengthening economic ties.

The forum organizer is the Roscongress Foundation, with support from the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the government of the Stavropol Territory. The central theme of CIF-2026 is "Expanding Horizons of Opportunities." The program covers a wide range of issues: from investments and finance to digital technologies and creative industries.

Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak noted:

"The Caucasus Investment Forum consistently models conditions for the comprehensive realization of regional potential."

Following the two previous forums, more than 230 agreements worth 460 billion rubles were signed — residential complexes, hotels, logistics centers, and energy facilities.

Presidential Advisor Anton Kobyakov, Executive Secretary of the CIF-2026 Organizing Committee, emphasized the intersectoral nature of the platform:

"The business program is structured taking into account the current tasks of socio-economic development."

Special attention is given to the session "Dialogue with the Governor: Vector towards the Caucasus," where heads of North Caucasus Federal District regions will present investment priorities.

Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Reshetnikov emphasized the practical focus:

"The Forum's program is built around relevant topics that today determine the development of regional economies."

They will discuss industry, agriculture, tourism, transport infrastructure, healthcare, and human resources potential.

The forum will become a platform for establishing contacts between the state, business, and experts.
