- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce will lead a trade mission of Information and Communications Technology firms to Russia on October 22-25, 2002. The mission is aimed at U.S. companies interested in exploring the opportunities in Russia?s rapidly growing ICT market and will coincide with Infocom 2002, a leading ICT trade show and conference. A particular focus of the mission will be the export and partnership opportunities deriving from two recently launched major programs of the Russian Federal Government, ?Electronic Russia? and the ?Unified IT Environment for Education.? All trade mission participants will have an opportunity to network and establish contacts with key government officials responsible for the design and implementation of the programs, meet leading ICT companies active in E-Government, E-Commerce and on-line learning initiatives, and hold one-on-one business meetings with potential buyers and partners. The Commercial Service in Kiev will lead a delegation of Ukrainian ICT companies to Moscow to brief the mission members on opportunities in that country, and match-make with the American participants. The primary objective of the mission is to gain first hand information on the Russian ICT market, and provide participants the opportunity to establish contacts with key officials and decision makers involved in implementing the Russian government?s IT programs. The mission members will participate in meetings with potential buyers and partners and attend Infocom 2002, the major IT industry conference and trade show. They will be able to network with the Russian IT community and explore sales opportunities and possible cooperative ventures. Interested companies must submit a completed application, participation fee, a signed participation agreement and certifications. Applications for the trade mission to Moscow will be made available beginning on August 19. The estimated fee to participate in the mission will be $2,500 and will not cover travel or lodging expenses.
