A business briefing is to take place in Leeds for companies wishing to expand their business to Russia or to strengthen their position in the market.
More than 70 times the size of the UK, Russia stands at over 17m sq. km – one eighth of the world’s surface.
With a population of over 143m and an array of varied commercial centres from St Petersburg to Vladivostok, Russia remains a key long term market of potential for UK businesses.
Despite the fact that some sectors have been hit hard by the global economic crisis, opportunities remain in healthcare and retail – and infrastructural opportunities arising from the 2014 Sochi Olympics should not be dismissed.
British goods will remain in demand regardless of the current economic climate dip, not merely for major UK companies but for SMEs with niche market goods and services.
The business briefing will take place at DLA Piper in Leeds on 12 November.
