Broad Russian turnout expected at INNOPROM.Belarus expo

The 2nd international industrial exhibition INNOPROM.Belarus will be held in Minsk from 30 September to 2 October.

Irina Ivanova noted that applications for participation began coming in even before the debut INNOPROM concluded. “These were inquiries both from participants confirming their readiness to return next year, and from those who, for various reasons, could not attend last time. This year, we have done extensive work to build the participant pool, and over 500 companies have registered to date,” she said.

Leading Russian companies and industry giants are set to showcase their products at the exhibition, including Rostec, Rosatom, and KamAZ. Strong emphasis has also been placed on regional representation. According to the speaker, regions such as Tatarstan, Mordovia, Udmurtia, Saint Petersburg, Bryansk Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast, and Leningrad Oblast have already confirmed they will host their own exhibition stands.

The international lineup will include the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) and delegations from Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. Irina Ivanova noted that the participant list grows every day, adding that organizers welcome new proposals right up until the registration deadline.

The Belinterexpo first deputy director is confident that the exhibition serves as a major launchpad for regional companies. “Our goal is to make this platform as welcoming and impactful as possible. Small businesses want to get noticed by industry leaders, find investors, or secure partners. The biggest advantage here is that everyone meets in the same place at the same time, saving both time and resources,” she explained.

Irina Ivanova is confident that having top decision-makers attend will help expedite business deals. “To date, 29 governors of Russian regions have already confirmed their attendance. As a rule, governors travel alongside major businesses, which serve as a gateway to the international arena for any regional enterprise,” she added.

The exhibition will build on the four key pillars of business tourism: B2B meetings, product showcases, conferences, and guided tours. The event’s agenda features more than 20 thematic conferences and plenary sessions.

Irina Ivanova urged attendees to sign up early: “To ensure a seamless experience at the expo, please make sure to register by 19 September.” 

For the convenience of visitors and Minsk residents, branded INNOPROM.Belarus shuttle buses will run throughout the event.
