\n\tMr. Bency George is a well-known trade diplomat in India, with extensive experience in organising international trade summits, business delegations and bilateral trade initiatives. He has played a key role in facilitating business and trade delegations from India to several countries, fostering international business partnerships and strengthening cross-border trade relations. Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan in European Russia, lies approximately 720 kilometres east of Moscow and is situated at the confluence of the Volga and Kazanka rivers. The city is an important industrial, educational and cultural centre. For businesses exploring the Russian market, its relevance extends to Tatarstan\u2019s wider industrial base and opportunities for cooperation in manufacturing, technology and services.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tHighlighting the scope for regional cooperation, MRS. TALIYA MINULLINA, Member of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan, Chief Executive of the Tatarstan Investment Development Agency<\/strong> said, \u201cTatarstan is rich in oil and gas, with developed industries including machinery, helicopter and aircraft production, robotics, agriculture, IT and pharmaceuticals. We need to get acquainted with the different Indian states, just as Indian businesses need to know Russia\u2019s regions. Without these exchanges, trade cannot grow.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tThe ITDFC delegation will seek to build on this need for closer business engagement by bringing together companies with clear sectoral interests and business objectives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tMr. Bency George, Chief Operating Officer, ITDFC<\/strong>, said, \u201cThis is a very good opportunity for Indian companies, especially SMEs, MSMEs, startups and IT companies. New-generation businesspeople are looking for collaboration, investment and expansion opportunities. We will reach out to businesses and state governments across Southern India to bring together a delegation to Tatarstan<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tReflecting this scope, the programme covers oil and gas and petrochemicals; investment and innovation; logistics and transportation; healthcare and pharmaceuticals; labour market and human resources; education and science; IT and startups; agriculture and agri-business; textile production and manufacturing; creative industries; and film production and media.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tPlenary discussions, sector-focused business sessions, B2B meetings, exhibitions and industrial visits will provide different settings for delegates to engage with Russian companies and regional stakeholders.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tSouthern India already has a connection with the forum, with Andhra Pradesh and Telangana represented at its 2025 edition. Tatarstan has also expressed interest in expanding cooperation with Indian businesses in electronics, pharmaceuticals, light industry, IT and high technology, providing a relevant backdrop for the proposed delegation\u2019s discussions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tThe 2026 edition follows an inaugural forum that brought together 3,500 participants from Russia and India, featured 93 experts across 15 thematic sessions and saw 19 strategic cooperation agreements signed. ITDFC is inviting interested enterprises to share their sectoral priorities and business requirements as it coordinates participation in the forthcoming editio<\/span><\/span>n.\u00a0<\/p>\n
