"It is a great honor for Gazprombank to be a traditional partner of the forum and the organizer of the Business Breakfast. Tatarstan forms the backbone of the country’s industrial and technological development. I am convinced that sovereignty and leadership cannot be achieved without our own Russian technologies. Through comprehensive cooperation between the bank and the region, we finance a wide range of projects. All of this is a step towards import independence and maintaining the country’s leading positions in critical technologies, where oil and gas, of course, serve as drivers for the development of all other industries."
"The oil and gas sectors remain a strategic foundation of the economy, and amid Western restrictions, domestic technologies and sustainable import substitution mechanisms have become especially important. It is on this basis that a new level of international cooperation is built. Despite the withdrawal of some foreign partners, Russian regions over recent years have managed to establish joint productions that not only fill critical gaps but also demonstrate advanced results in several areas."
