From February 26 to 28, 2015, the city of Krasnoyarsk, with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation, will host the 12th Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum "Russia: New Sources of Growth."The forum, held annually in the Krasnoyarsk region, has become one of the most anticipated economic events of the year and entered the top three of most effective business activities of the country.The main agenda of the forum this year will be the discussion of mechanisms for the implementation of a new strategy for economic growth, as defined by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in his programmatic article " Time for Simple Solutions Has Passed."The development of the Russian economy tied to public demand, budgetary support methods and external market conjuncture can no longer remain the only source of sustainable economic growth in Russia.

The opening plenary meeting will define the objectives and targets for forthcoming discussions.As part of the closing plenary meeting, it is planned to sum up results of the work and discuss recommendations on the implementation of the new economic growth strategy. The business program of the forum will be traditionally complemented by exhibition.The main Russian partners of the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum in 2015 became the Russian Federation Government, Agency for Strategic Initiatives, Russian Academy for National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation.In 2015, the international component of the forum is expected to strengthen considerably.
