Governor of Sverdlovsk Region Evgeny Kuivashev spoke to Head of the Governor Administration Yakov Silin about the strategic aspects of his work.

For one, the Governor touched upon such projects as the Ural International Industry & Innovations Exhibition/Forum Innoprom. Kuivashev asked the new Head of Administration to take part in the preparations for the event.

‘If we really want Yekaterinburg and Sverdlovsk Region to be granted the right to host the World Fair EXPO 2020, we must learn to coordinate such exhibitions as Innoprom professionally,’ the Governor said.

Kuivashev pointed out that such a large-scale projects could not be treated as a time-serving event masterminded by this or that team.

‘This is not Misharin or Kuivashev’s project, this is the entire region’s project and a step on the way to becoming the host of one of the world’s grandest events! And this is a step for Yekaterinburg and Sverdlovsk Region on the way to making the region and the city a beautiful, rich, and memorable place,’ the Governor said.

The official asked Silin and the region’s government to be more proactive in preparing for Innoprom, which will be hosted on Yekaterinburg EXPO premises in mid-July.
