Representatives of municipalities from 14 Russian regions are taking a training course at the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO. The program is unique in that the participants come from cities where coal mining is a city-forming industry. Transforming coal industry cities and improving quality of life for their residents through developing a strategy for diversifying the urban economy and labor market is not only the goal of this training but also a challenge that the participants will face upon returning home. The course is offered by the SKOLKOVO School of Management with the support of the Russian Ministry of Energy and VEB.RF.
One of the topics of today's training course was attracting investment to the urban economy through public-private partnerships. Representatives of VIS Group, one of the leaders of the country's infrastructure market, were invited to discuss the origins, development, and current status of Russian PPPs. Alexander Kozarenko, Head of the Transport and Social Infrastructure Divisions, and Sergey Kozlovsky, Head of the Corporate Communications Department, not only provided insights into the mechanisms and advantages of PPPs but also highlighted the holding's extensive experience in this field.
The development prospects for the PPP and concession market are projected to grow fivefold by 2040. This will be driven by increasing funding for national projects and federal target programs, the expansion of this mechanism to the industrial and space sectors, the improvement and expansion of state support instruments, and the expected reduction and stabilization of the Central Bank's key interest rate. Furthermore, city master plans and infrastructure modernization are the key areas for attracting private investment.
Course participants include city heads and their deputies, as well as employees of municipal and regional administrations.
