The present guide for investors will be an ideal way to highlight numerous opportunities revealed by the Smolensk Region. I feel perfectly sure that the up-to-date overview

  • f the regional potential contained in this guide will

be of great interest to senior and top management

  • f companies and enterprises, representatives of

business community and a wide range of other people willing to know more about the Smolensk Region. Being considered as the Western gate of Russia, Smolensk has an economically advantageous geographical location which creates prerequisites needed to increase and fulfil the investment poten- tial of the region. The Smolensk Region is an important transpor- tation and communication hub with the shortest highways and railways running from Central Russia to Europe. Vast territory and rich mineral resources, signifi- cant technological and intellectual potential make the Smolensk Region attractive for investors, Russian and international companies and financial

  • rganisations.

The Smolensk Region of today can boast of its most favourable environment created to ensure the sustainable economic development; extensive efforts are made to improve the investment climate and to ensure safe investments of foreign and domestic capital. The Administration of the Smolensk Region has worked out a clear investment policy. We provide real support to the investors who strive to establish strong and mutually beneficial relations with the representatives of the Smolensk Region in various business fields. Our region is open to cooperation with the part- ners who pursue serious interests and good inten-

  • tions. We express our readiness for widening coop-

eration in industrial, technological, investment and scientific areas. I believe that the Smolensk Region will always be a hospitable home for investors. I sincerely wish all the business community prosperity and success in implementing investment projects within the region. Governor
