SPIEF – Saint Petersburg Economic Forum 2025

As ROSVC, we were invited to take part in the Saint Petersburg Economic Forum in the version of 2025, where we could share our impressions and ideas about the business cooperation between Russia and Latin America.

I was pleased to share a panel discussion about the opportunities in Latin America for Russian companies with the following people:

Juan Arango Gonzalez, President, Colombo-Eurasian Chamber
Coromoto Godoy Calderon, Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Trade of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Andrey Kuznetsov, General Director, Keystone Logistics
Igor Lyapunov, Senior Vice President for Information Security, Rostelecom; General Director, Solar
Ricardo Salgado Bonilla, Minister of Strategic Planning of the Republic of Honduras

And the panel was moderated by Sergey Brilev: Russian TV presenter, writer and public figure. Deputy Director of the Rossiya TV channel for special informational projects.

The Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025 is poised to be a pivotal event for business leaders and government officials alike, particularly in the context of fostering relationships between Russian companies and Latin American markets. This forum serves as a platform to discuss pressing economic issues, explore technological advancements, and identify potential collaboration opportunities.

The event was a good opportunity to connect with Russian companies interested in landing into Latin America and to share ideas, thoughts and projects for making it happen.

In the event we were able to sign a cooperation agreement with Roscongress to develop mutually beneficial activities and promotion to enhance trade, cultural exchange and business opportunities for Russian companies in Latin America.
