“The Economic Forum is a platform for negotiations, exchange of opinions, and conclusion of agreements.

We held a number of meetings with large Russian and international companies: PepsiCo, Heineken, SGK. Important negotiations took place with SITRONICS on cooperation in the field of building a smart city, a safe city, and the development of digital technologies. In this area, we have a good foundation with several companies, in particular, with MTS PJSC. It is very important for Novosibirsk that many of the projects that we talked about are being updated, and their final design is taking place here,” Lokot said.
Earlier PolitNavigator reportedthat the mayor of Novosibirsk, Anatoly Lokot, supported the initiative of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development to move the headquarters of large state-owned companies from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the regions.
Novosibirsk ranks third in the Russian Federation in terms of population, is developing at a metropolitan pace and has increased its development budget fivefold over the year.
Novosibirsk authorities expect that An additional stimulus in the development of the city will be provided by the implementation of the “Akademgorodok 2.0” project – Previously, President Vladimir Putin supported the creation of a modern scientific center, which provides for the creation of thousands of new jobs in the city.
The current mayor of Novosibirsk, communist Anatoly Lokot, decided to participate in the upcoming elections for the head of the city, which will take place this fall.
