25.08.2023

Experts of the National Association of Investment and Development Agencies (NAAIR) highly appreciated the level of investor attraction in Bashkortostan. The results of monitoring the number of investment intentions were presented as part of the next NAAIR investment camp, which was held from August 23 to 25 with the support of the investment block of the My Business center of the Chelyabinsk Region. According to its results, Bashkortostan took the second place, second only to the Moscow region.

The expert opinion on the tools used to attract investors to Bashkortostan was expressed by the executive director of NAAIR Rafael Khusyainshin. Among the most effective, he noted the institute of business sheriffs, as well as a number of mechanisms developed by the Development Corporation.

- Packaging of investment proposals - ready-made solutions for investors - a scalable tool - there is no need for any financial investments, colleagues can simply consider at the level of their territories what interesting investment areas can be taken and developed, - said Rafael Husyainshin. - Another tool is virtual tours - an interesting digital review of investment sites. There is a video of any site, which significantly reduces the time for the investor and the resources of the Corporation - there is no need to go to the site and show it. This practice can also be adopted by other regions.

The rich program of the investment campus included the exchange of practices on attracting investors between representatives of development agencies from more than 20 regions of Russia. A significant part of the work touched upon ways to promote investment potential on internal and external platforms. During the discussion, representatives of many regions also noted a number of practices of Bashkortostan, which they are now implementing at home. Thus, business sheriffs have become an example for the introduction of the institute of investment commissioners in the Murmansk region, and the tool of virtual tours of free investment sites is used in the Krasnodar Territory, Primorye and Tula region.

- It is very important for us to interact with Russian regions and get acquainted with different practices used in attracting investments, - said Nail Gabbasov, General Director of the Development Corporation of the Republic of Bashkortostan. - It is doubly pleasant when our tools are of interest to colleagues and are implemented by them in the work.

The Chelyabinsk region was not chosen by chance to host the event: the region, along with Bashkortostan, was among the first to successfully implement the investment standard, and is now among the first to introduce a feedback system "SDG Business". According to Inna Ivanova, the Investment director of the My Business Center, the exchange of successful practices is one of the simplest, but at the same time, the most effective development tools.
