The investment team of Bashkortostan has completed training at the Presidential Academy
The Investment Team of the Republic of Bashkortostan has completed training in the framework of the educational program "Managerial skills" development of regional teams", organized by the Higher School of Public Administration of the RANEPA jointly with the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia. The regional team included representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development of Bashkortostan, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Land and Property, the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services, the Development Corporation and a number of municipalities of the republic. As part of the training, within 6 months, they completed three full-time and part-time educational modules. The final stage ended with the final defense of the investment standard implementation project.
The Republic of Bashkortostan is implementing a Regional investment Standard in 2022. The fact that the training process of the regional team was carried out in parallel with the introduction of almost all elements of the standard, of course, contributed to the effectiveness and quality of the implementation of federal requirements. I would like to note that increasing the level of competence of the team, improving coherence in the interaction of regional and municipal levels of government, as well as the opportunity to adopt the successful experience of colleagues from other regions is an additional impetus in the work to improve the business climate of the region and the additional adjustment of the investment management system, which in general is designed to ensure tangible dynamics of investment in the Republic of Bashkortostan, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Belarus Rustam Muratov, Minister of Economic Development and Investment Policy of the Republic of Belarus, commented.
The main emphasis in the training was given to the elements of the standard in the context of the mechanism of implementation and application, accessibility and usefulness for investors, as well as their further improvement in order to increase the investment attractiveness of the regions, simplify and shorten the investment cycle. The educational program also included various team building activities, exchange of experience in attracting investments, delegation methods, etc. One of the main features of the training was the visit of management teams from other regions in order to study successful practices used in working with investors, as well as measures to support entrepreneurial initiatives.
So, visits to each other took place between Bashkortostan and the Ulyanovsk region. During the visit to Bashkortostan, Ulyanovsk colleagues were introduced to the experience of investment development of the region. Nail Gabbasov, General Director of the Development Corporation of the Republic of Bashkortostan, also spoke about the introduction of elements of the Regional Investment Standard into his work.
As a development agency, we regularly introduce new tools designed to improve the business environment of the republic. So, together with colleagues from the Ministry of Digital Development, we have improved the characteristics of the investment map of the region, adding new options to it for the convenience of investors. And our practice has entered the top five most relevant to the requirements of the Standard. Also, many regions are interested in the presentation of potential investment sites: virtual tours formed with the help of aerial photography detailing the existing infrastructure and adjacent facilities. Thus, a platform for investment can be selected from anywhere in the country and the world, and our specialists will help with the design and implementation in the format of "one window" - from the development of the concept to the launch of the facility, Nail Gabbasov noted.
The investment team of the republic is already using the acquired knowledge and new communications to replenish the investment portfolio of Bashkortostan. The regional investment standard, in turn, allows the subjects of Russia to ensure uniformity in the enforcement of its elements and facilitates the scaling of business throughout the country.
For reference:
The training of regional teams aimed at comprehensive training of regional and municipal management personnel was organized by RANEPA together with the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia in 2022 in order to successfully implement a system of support for new investment projects in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation ("Regional Investment Standard"). The regional investment standard is designed to simplify business scaling by creating a single client path regardless of the region. The work on its formation is supervised by the First Deputy Chairman of the Government of Russia Andrey Belousov.
The Republic of Bashkortostan started implementing the Standard in 2022. In pursuance of the order of the President of the Russian Federation dated June 26, 2021 No. Pr-1096 following the results of SPIEF-2021 (item 2 d), the creation of a support system for new investment projects (Regional Investment Standard) should be completed in all subjects of the Russian Federation by 2024. Currently, 45 regions are already participating in the implementation of the Standard.
