RBCC St. Petersburg Sectoral Forums

RBCC St Petersburg International Construction and Property Forum
31st May 2007
With a burgeoning local economy, high level political support and growth outstripping the rest of Russia, St Petersburg is, it could be said, on something of a roll. In the second of a series of quarterly one-day business forums, RBCC St Petersburg set out to examine one of the most dynamic sectors within NW Russia’s success story, a sector which is bringing in high levels of international investment and expertise: construction, property and infrastructure development.
 

RBCC St. Petersburg International HR Forum,
May 25th 2006, Novotel St. Petersburg Centre

On May 25th, RBCC St. Petersburg held a business seminar on one of the topics most excercising the minds of investors in Russia at the moment. Any organisation is only as good as the people working within it, and the fact is that Russia is, for many reasons, critically short of qualified managers and specialists. In a country so abundant in mineral wealth, companies wanting to hire new staff are trying to sift the tiniest amount of gold from a stream which is showing no sign of turning into a torrent. As the higher education system struggles to adapt to the changing needs of an ever-expanding market, how can companies make sure that they find the pure gold they are looking for, and how can they make sure they keep their precious metal once they have it?

 

RBCC St. Petersburg Retail Forum,
February 20th 2007, Grand Hotel Europe
With a population of just under 4.7 million people, St. Petersburg is Europe's third largest city. It is to be expected that the consumer retail sector in such a populous territory would be in good health, but the rate of growth in this area over the past few years has outstripped even the most optimistic predictions. As both Russian and international companies compete for the consumer rouble in the region, what are the main factors driving this expansion, and how can retailers look to achieve maximum success in such a dynamic market? RBCC St. Petersburg organised a special forum at the Grand Hotel Europe to examine these very questions.
