Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov is the honorary chairman of the summit’s organising committee. Tatarstan’s leader Rustam Minnikhanov is a member of the committee. The forum provides invaluable networking, information-sharing and business development opportunities for its Russian and foreign participants.

This year’s summit will focus on energy savings and efficiency of Russian facilities. Delegates will share their knowledge on cost savings and recovery prospects amid the global economic crisis. They will also discuss the Russian authorities’ plans to promote downstream projects in the industry.

Role of chemical industry

The chemical and petrochemical industry accounts for some 10% of the Russian gross national product. More advanced feedstock conversion is the main factor behind the transition to a knowledge-intensive economy. Growth in output in the chemical and petrochemical industry has a synergetic effect on the consumer markets.

Delegates

The summit has been attracting heads of companies — directors, presidents, board chairmen, major shareholders, business development directors and commercial directors. The summit has been attended by academicians of the Russian Academy of Science, heads of innovation centres, parliament members, officials from Russian and CIS governments. Details on delegates of the 2004-2009 summits.
