The Presidential Academy and the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia ' s programme, " Management skills: development of regional teams " , completed its work this year. Nearly 850 participants from regional investment teams were trained.

" The continuation of sustained economic growth will require a modern economy of supply through the development of its own productions based on domestic technology. It requires private investment. Their growth in our economy and the speed of implementation of projects depend directly on the quality of business in the field. The Presidential Academy ' s programme allows the expansion of regional teams. It has been working for three years and has made it possible to improve the skills of more than 2.6 thousand specialists in attracting investment in the country ' s constituent entities " , noted by the Deputy Minister for Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Murat Kerefov.

The programme lasted six months in time, as well as remotely during the intermodal period. Participants from 89 entities, including new regions, received the necessary skills to develop key investor institutions. More than 80 experts conducted workshops, 39 cross-regional experience-sharing visits and 50 online practice exchanges.

The participants were also trained with new elements of the standard: a regional investment profile, a business feedback system.

This year, in addition to regional representatives, staff of resource organizations and business associations have been trained in the programme and are also involved in the implementation of the regional investment standard and in the evaluation of the quality of work done.

" An important principle is that participants learn from specific examples. In this programme, we have brought together business and government representatives, not only to hear the pains and challenges of everyone, but also to find real solutions to the problems, " the Deputy Director of the Supreme Academy, Oleg Condretenko.

The aim of the regional investment standard is to reduce the investor ' s path from the idea to investment. Six standards have been developed in conjunction with business associations: investment declaration, map, committee, development agency, investment code and business feedback system. The quality of implementation of the standard is assessed by major business associations. Since the establishment of a modern system of investing projects, there has been an improvement in the position of some regions in the national investment rating.
