Moderator: Mikhail
Oseevsky, Vice-Governor of St
Petersburg, Head of Saint Petersburg Governor's
Administration
Issues
to be discussed:
1. Modernization: mega-project or
strategy
A
year passed since the President of the Russian Federation declared a
course towards modernization. What have we done? What aims have we achieved
within the course? What time may modernization take: a short or long term? Do
we need an integrated industry policy for modernization or it is enough to
use the project approach?

Polterovich, academician, Russian Academy of Sciences, Deputy Director,
Central Institute for Economics and Mathematics of the Russian Academy of
Sciences, Doctor of Economics, Professor

2.
Finance and modernization: what
does money solve
Russia
has overcome the financial and economic crisis and banks have started
crediting the economy. Do we have money for modernization? How to get or attract the money? How to
accommodate risks and assure their acceptable level? What hinders business to
invest in modernization?
Key speakers:

Director, Large Corporate Clients Department, Bank St. Petersburg

is the role of the state in external economic relations development and
favourable investment climate establishment?
