The agenda of the event will be devoted to the comprehensive analysis of the small and medium businesses, SME state support measures and their efficiency. The participants will exchange the best practices for fruitful interaction between the authorities and the business community.
"The Republic of Bashkortostan operates a really good practice. This practice is business sheriffs", says Igor Karachin, deputy CEO of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. "In fact, these are investment commissioners in municipalities. As a rule, they work as deputy chairs for economic affairs at a relevant municipality council."
Previously, Radiy Khabirov, the Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan, reported 78% of our entrepreneurs interacting with business sheriffs to admit rapid responses to their requests. Over 80% of such entrepreneurs claim business sheriffs at their municipalities to be effective.
"Over 5 years our business sheriffs have held nearly seventeen thousand Entrepreneurship Hours", - mentioned Radiy Khabirov on his social media. "They have reviewed over twenty-four thousand projects. Twelve thousand projects or a half of the mentioned have been brought to life. I think it is a good benchmark.
Andrey Nazarov, the Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan, admits how business sheriffs directly contribute to the investment climate of the region. They form a bridge between the business and the authorities.
"This is a good tradition now to gather business commissioners from all over the republic at the venue on day zero of our investment sabantuy. It is a great opportunity to discuss the best practices, exchange experiences and share solutions for extraordinary cases. Thanks to the business sheriffs investors can expect support not only from municipality but also from the entire region. Over the last 6 years we managed to triple the annual scope of investments. Business sheriffs in towns and districts of Bashkortostan made their contribution to this achievement", adds Rustam Muratov, the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan - Minister of Economic Development and Investment Policy of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
