MINSK, 15 May (BelTA) – Belarus’ new venue - Minsk International Exhibition Center Belexpo is interesting for business, Sergey Voronkov, President of the Russian Union of Exhibitions and Fairs, told the media, BelTA learned.
According to Sergey Voronkov, in the modern world congress and exhibition centers are not only drivers of economic development. They are a new institution of socialization.

"Belarus has a new wonderful platform, a place that will develop and form competencies in the economy, social and cultural sectors. For our part, we will help in every way we can," the expert pointed out.
Exploring the theme of congress and exhibition activities as a new institute of socialization, Sergey Voronkov cited the introduction of tough sanctions against Russia as an example. The country faced the task of not only replacing imports but also ensuring technological independence and now technological leadership. It was necessary to "rebuild" international cooperation chains, replace foreign suppliers, find sources of parallel imports, and organize production inside Russia in a few years.
"We did it largely thanks to congress and exhibition events," Sergey Voronkov said. “Congress and exhibition centers are not just places showcasing achievements and products. These are the places where deals are made, where customers and buyers, projects and investors find each other. The presence of such a site in Minsk, of course, becomes such a factory, a driver of economic development. It will host major events that will generate not only deals for the country's economy, but also the main flow of business tourism," Sergey Voronkov said.
The Russian Union of Exhibitions and Fairs is an active player in the events industry. It works to consolidate the participants of exhibitions and fairs, congress and event industries. Belexpo is also a member of the Union.
