Today, cooperation and import substitution are becoming a natural and in-demand continuation of integration processes across the Eurasian space. Tatarstan traditionally serves as a hub for joint projects, and the region’s experience can be valuable for scaling new solutions. The annual Business Breakfast of Gazprombank JSC is one of the key events of the business program of the Tatarstan Petrochemical Forum, bringing together industry leaders, government representatives, and international businesses to discuss the future of the oil, gas, and chemical complex. This year, the focus will be on prospects for industrial cooperation across Eurasia. The event will assemble executives from leading companies of the petrochemical sector, representatives of governmental bodies, development institutions, and commercial banks, as well as delegations from the countries of the EAEU, CIS, and the Middle East. Participants will explore new formats of effective interaction amid the rapidly changing global economy, development of Eurasian-wide integration mechanisms, joint investment projects, and efficient logistics solutions.

Key participants include:
  • Rustam Minnikhanov, Rais (Head) of the Republic of Tatarstan
  • Dmitry Zauers, Deputy Chairman of Gazprombank’s Management Board
  • Aisen Nikolaev, Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Chair of the State Council of the Russian Federation’s Energy Committee
  • Mikhail Karisalov, Member of the Board of Directors of SIBUR Holding PJSC, Chairman of the Management Board, General Director of SIBUR LLC
  • Oleg Aksyutin, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board — Head of the Department for Strategic Development of Gazprom PJSC

The moderator will be Taliya Minullina, Head of the Investment Development Agency of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Fragmentation of global markets and modifications in supply chains are challenging companies to establish long-term cooperation models. Today, their interest encompasses not only access to markets but also joint production, investments, technological development, and modernization of industrial assets. A new cooperation framework is emerging across Eurasia, increasingly involving the EAEU and SCO member states, as well as the countries of the Caspian region and Southeast Asia. This framework calls for innovative solutions—institutional, technological, and infrastructural—that facilitate joint production, investments, and modernization of industrial assets.
