In Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, an in-person educational module "Attracting Investments in the Implementation of Master Plans" was launched, organized by the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC) jointly with the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and Arctic and JSC "DOM.RF". The event is held with the support of the Government of the Sakhalin Region and is synchronized with the advanced training program "Application of Spatial Data in Urban Development and Digitalization of Urban Development Activities".
As part of the educational module, about 50 participants from 10 regions of the Far East discuss key tools for attracting extra-budgetary financing, ways to involve development institutions in the implementation of investment projects, and study successful cases and practices of interaction between government and business. The training takes place at Sakhalin State University.
The key goals and objectives of the module were presented by Andrey Sharafutdinov, Managing Director of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC), and Vitaly Ponomarev, Director of the Investment Project Implementation Support Department of the FEDC. “Today, 275 off-budget projects with a total investment volume of about 2.6 trillion rubles are being implemented within the framework of the master plans of the cities of the Far East. The task of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation is to support investment initiatives, help regions structure projects, and eliminate administrative barriers. We are seeing growing interest from investors, but for sustainable implementation, it is necessary to take a systematic approach to site preparation, infrastructure, land issues, and also to strengthen territorial marketing. In addition, the most important area remains the development of preferential financing instruments,” Andrey Sharafutdinov noted in his speech.
