The Russian delegation intends to present Yekaterinburg’s application for hosting the World Universal Exhibition EXPO 2020 at the forum. The forum is attended by Vice Premier and Head of Russia’s EXPO 2020 Application Promotion Committee Arkady Dvorkovitch and the Director-General of the EXPO 2020 Coordination Committee Eric Bugulov. The forum in Davos, which attracts thousands of politicians, investors, and economic analysts from all over the world, is one of the best venues to present the Mid-Urals as an open region that is interested in the development of international contacts and new partnerships, the Governor feels.

It is expected that Kuivashev will give a talk on the development plans for the Titanium Valley special economic zone in the course of a special session dedicated to Sverdlovsk Region’s investment development.
