MOSCOW, Russia – Technology exports, high tech, and advanced solutions will be the key theme of the “Made in Russia” international export forum. The high-tech track will shape the business program, from promoting Russian innovations in foreign markets to international cooperation in innovation. The forum is organized by Russian Export Center (REC, VEB.RF Group). It will take place on November 16 at the National Centre RUSSIA in Moscow. Registration is open.
In Vietnam, Made in Russia program already operates as permanent trade infrastructure. The Russian national pavilion in Hanoi, which covers 428 square meters, opened with support from the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and Russian Export Center (REC). Its operator is Nguyen Hong. The pavilion gives exporters warehousing and marketing infrastructure and helps them sign direct contracts. Russian goods are also sold at retail: Made in Russia corners operate in WinMart stores in Hanoi. In April 2026, product sales in the chain rose 20% from March. In August, at the VietFood & Beverage exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City, REC’s national pavilion brought together more than 20 Russian companies and held more than 180 B2B meetings. On October 1–4, the Russian booth at the second Cultures of the World Festival in Hanoi, held under the theme “Converging Heritage, Shaping the Future,” was visited by Russian Ambassador Gennady Bezdetko and Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Thị Thanh Trà.
The 2026 forum program will focus on the priority areas of foreign economic activity. Technology exports and the promotion of high tech will take center stage: participants will discuss how Russian companies can scale up supplies of knowledge-intensive products, integrate into global value chains, and find partners for joint innovation projects. The program will also address the impact of geopolitical shifts on international trade, the evolution of global supply chains, and mechanisms for developing the export potential of small and medium-sized businesses. Financing for foreign economic activity and the adoption of modern digital solutions will also be in focus.
Direct business meetings between Russian exporters and foreign partners will once again be an important part of the forum. The 2026 forum will bring together representatives of federal and regional authorities, the business community, banks, export support centers, industry associations, and trade groups, as well as foreign delegations, financial institutions, trade and logistics companies, and leading industry exporters. The forum will serve as a platform for active dialogue and exchange of experience among all stakeholders, reaffirming its reputation as the year’s top event for entrepreneurs looking to scale their businesses, start exporting, and find reliable partners.
During the forum, REC will host a Made in Russia exhibition at the National Centre RUSSIA, showcasing the best technology solutions from Russian regions. An interactive zone with cutting-edge products from Russian exporters will be a key component, highlighting the achievements of Russian technology companies. The exhibition will present solutions in key areas of human life and the national economy: medicine, robotics, industry, and IT. In this way, the forum’s high-tech agenda will be brought to life not only in discussions but also in specific products and projects ready to enter international markets.
Last year, the forum drew participants from more than 100 countries. At 18 multi-format events, 140 leading speakers took the floor, including Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The total number of B2B meetings exceeded 500. Online broadcasts of the forum generated more than 6.3 million impressions.
