Tashir group named general partner of Moscow Urban Forum 2017

As always, Tashir Group will take part in the Moscow Urban Forum 2017 and will be the forum’s general partner.

This year, the forum will take place at a new location, VDNKh, from July 6-12. This year’s forum will be the biggest one ever in six years, combining a number of formats: the business program, a city fest, Russia’s biggest developer expo and experimental labs. This year’s title, “Age of agglomerations. Rethinking the world map” initiates a dialogue on the development of global megacities, their influence on adjacent areas and the key importance of agglomeration growth as the development driver for national and global economies. About 400 speakers, including over 150 international experts, will share their views at the forum.

«Tashir Group has been supporting the Moscow Urban Forum for six years, and this year is no exception. Its systemic and consistent approach to doing business in Russia throughout these years has demonstrated the importance of participating in this primary urban platform in Russia. Today, we start the countdown to the start of a new forum, which will see important discussions and dialogue to determine how modern cities will develop going forward» Igor Bulatov, first vice president.

Tashir has been taking part in the Moscow Urban Forum since its inception. The subject picked for this year is important to the group, as Tashir is actively involved in urban development in Moscow. In 2016, Tashir started building four transport hubs in Moscow, which will become new major centers for the areas around them. The group will provide a display showcasing its transport hub projects and other facilities for the visitors.
