London | RBCC Business Forum: Russo-British Cooperation for Growth

The RBCC Business Forum is hosted annually in London, and brings together leading figures in the Russo-British business community. Attended by senior representatives of governmental bodies, trade associations and both British and Russian companies, and with speakers from a variety of sectors, the Forum aims to lead the conversation on business and trade between the UK and the Russian Federation.This year we will be examining some of the trends and challenges in the energy and extractive industries and looking at where Russian and UK expertise can collaborate to mutual benefit and profitability. We will also be tackling topics such as digitalisation, sustainability and innovation; with one of the panels dedicated to looking at where UK technological expertise can complement Russian development in a number of sectors such as education. There will be a number of high-profile speakers who will give a fascinating personal insight into some of the challenges and opportunities they have encountered in their particular industry.
