Unipro PJSC has been involved in the organisation of the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum (KEF) for five years viewing it as an important platform for discussing the problems and trends of social and economic development of Siberia and the Russian Federation as a whole.

In 2018, the Company representatives spoke at four sessions of the forum.

  1. Maxim Shirokov, Chief Executive Officer of Unipro PJSC, took part in the panel discussion “Key Investment Policy Areas in Agriculture: The Ways to Ensure Sustainable Growth of the Agricultural Sector”. Acting through its subsidiary Siberia Agro-Industrial Park LLC, Unipro PJSC has been engaged in attracting investments in agriculture for many years. The projects providing for the construction of a greenhouse complex in the Sharypovo District and a grain deep-processing complex in Krasnoyarsk Krai were supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of the region.
  2. The real highlight of the forum was the presentation of the “Yenisei Siberia” project supposed to combine the potentials of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Republic of Khakassia and the Tyva Republic. The project of Siberia Agro-Industrial Park implemented in the Sharypovo District made it to TOP-7 priority investment projects and was presented during the KEF road show alongside the other projects. By providing infrastructural support, Unipro PJSC is both contributing to the region’s development and expanding the consumer base for the energy resources of Berezovskaya GRES.
  3. Sergey Menyailo, Interim Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President of the Russian Federation to the Siberian Federal District, and Alexander Uss, Interim Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai, were among high-profile speakers taking the floor at the plenary session “Russia 2018–2024: Fulfilling the Potential” devoted to the national development goals.
  4. The round table “Partnership in Digital Technology as an Environmentalisation Path” was organised to discuss the experience of European companies in implementing industrial modernisation programmes in order to save energy and environmentalise their production processes. Vladislav Nigmatullin, Head of Strategy and Development Department at Unipro PJSC, shared his experience and reported on the most efficient ways to modernise the Russian electric power industry.
