Voices of Leadership at RVF

We are operating amid unprecedented technological and geopolitical transformations. The Forum places special emphasis on exhibition showcases that, without exaggeration, offer a genuine glimpse into the future
Rais (Head) of the Republic of Tatarstan, for TASS

Rustam Minnikhanov

This year, the Forum carries particular strategic significance. The President of the Russian Federation has defined technological leadership as one of the nation’s key development priorities. Achieving this goal requires the concerted efforts of all participants gathered here today. A platform for such dialogue is especially timely
Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, for TASS

Valery Falkov

The Forum brings together a diverse range of projects and insightful discussions in an exceptional venue. This year, we are seeing renewed momentum-a rare achievement for an event with such a long history. RVF remains highly relevant and reflects the strong pace of innovation and venture development in Tatarstan
Partner, KAMA FLOW

Evgeny Borisov

This is a highly anticipated event. It is my third time attending, and the Forum continues to grow-becoming more ambitious and engaging each year. It provides new insights and opens doors to new partnerships. Kazan is the perfect place for an event of this scale
Partner, BSF Capital; Co-Founder, Syndicate Venture Investors Club

Anna Morozova

Throughout the Forum, we will not only discuss the trends and challenges shaping the venture industry, but also identify actionable solutions to support promising innovation projects, develop the startup ecosystem, and strengthen the investment climate in our country
Executive Director, Russian Venture Capital Association (RAVI)

Albina Nikkonen
