Five specialists and managers: young officials, employees of organizations and government agencies from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Irkutsk Region and the Komi Republic arrived in the Murmansk Region as part of the fifth stream of the leadership training program. In October of this year, a module of municipal internships in the regions of the Far East and The Arctic.
From October 15 to 24, they will talk with government and municipal officials, scientists and the business community of the region.
The program of the visit was opened by a meeting of delegates with Svetlana Panfilova, Deputy Governor and Minister of Arctic Development and Economy of the Murmansk Region, and Elena Nesterovich, CEO of the Murmansk Region Development Corporation. The speakers spoke about the scientific and technological development of the region, the projects that are currently being implemented in the Kola Arctic, as well as the support of investors on the principle of "one window", which is conducted by the Corporation.
"Modern technologies become important for the regional economy when they are applied in practice: they make it possible to process raw materials more efficiently, improve industrial safety, erect complex structures, maintain ships and manage traffic flows. The scientific and technological development of the Murmansk Region is inextricably linked with its industry, energy and logistics," said Svetlana Panfilova.
Elena Nesterovich emphasized the special role of systemic support for investment projects in the Arctic and the value of personnel who are ready to confidently lead projects to results in strategically important territories.
"The support of investment projects in our work is an ongoing process: we help with site selection, approval of permits, connection to infrastructure, selection of state support measures and access to the operational stage. In the Arctic, every project is a complex of challenges: logistics, climate, personnel shortage, and it is critically important not just to advise, but to be a full–fledged partner at every stage. And the Muravyov-Amursky program forms exactly the kind of management resource that is critically important today to accelerate investment processes," said Elena Nesterovich.
The parties agreed that today, for the development of the scientific and technical sphere, additional government support measures are needed, which would be in demand by companies engaged in technology development.
In the coming days, the project participants will visit the Rodina Scientific and Technical Center, discuss examples of successful cooperation between science and business with representatives of the Kola Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences and JSC APATIT, and learn about successful cases of cooperation between UIA and industrial partners from the Rector of Murmansk Arctic University.
