The business program of the Caucasian Investment Forum — 2026 has been published

The business program is posted on the website of the Caucasian Investment Forum, which will be held from April 28 to 30, 2026 at the Minvodyexpo Exhibition Center. The Caucasus Investment Forum is one of the key business events aimed at developing the investment potential of the regions and expanding economic cooperation. The central theme of the Forum will be "Expanding horizons of opportunities." The Forum is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Stavropol Territory.

The CIF-2026 business program covers a wide range of issues of socio-economic development. The sessions will be conducted by representatives of relevant federal and regional authorities, businesses and the expert community, who will present relevant analytical data. The Forum includes thematic sessions, business discussions, practice-oriented and industry tracks aimed at developing solutions and creating new areas for growth.

"The Caucasian Investment Forum consistently models the conditions for the comprehensive disclosure of the potential of the regions. The presented business program reflects the key directions of economic development and is focused on strengthening investment activity, expanding cooperation ties and creating sustainable business initiatives," said Alexander Novak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.

The program includes thematic blocks on investment and finance, industrial and agro-industrial complexes, international cooperation and human resource development, tourism and the hospitality industry, digitalization and technological leadership, trade and entrepreneurship. Special attention is paid to transport, energy infrastructure, creative industries, healthcare and the cultural agenda.

"The business program of the Forum is built taking into account the urgent tasks of socio-economic development and is aimed at forming practical mechanisms for interaction between the government, business and the expert community. Following the results of the two previous forums, more than 230 cooperation agreements were concluded for a total amount of over 460 billion rubles. These agreements have been transformed into specific projects: residential and hotel complexes, tourist facilities, logistics centers, wind and hydropower facilities. Of particular importance is the cross-sectoral nature of the discussions, which allows taking into account the specifics of the regions and developing comprehensive solutions. In this regard, the Caucasian Investment Forum is an ideal platform for effective dialogue," said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the Caucasian Investment Forum 2026.

A significant element of this year's program will be the session "Dialogue with the Governor: a vector to the Caucasus", in which representatives of the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District will talk about development priorities and key areas of investment policy. During the sessions, the guests of the venue will be able to ask questions relevant to the current agenda. The format of the events provides for a dialogue aimed at developing practical solutions.

"The Forum's program is built around current topics that determine the development of the regional economy today, from investments and infrastructure to personnel and technology. It is important that these issues are discussed with the participation of regions and businesses, which allows us to talk not only about approaches, but also about practical solutions that can be applied locally," said Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.

The business program of the Caucasian Investment Forum 2026 creates a comprehensive platform for discussing topical issues of regional development, establishing contacts and developing solutions aimed at strengthening the economic potential of the North Caucasus and other regions of Russia.

Online registration of media and blogosphere representatives for the Caucasian Investment Forum is open on the event's website until April 17.
