Krasnoyarsk region presented the main achievements and development priorities of the second largest region of Russia

Economic, investment, tourism potential and promising investment projects will be presented on the day of the Krasnoyarsk region. By the scale of attracted investments the Krasnoyarsk region is confidently in the lead in Siberia and is among the top ten Russian regions.

Even before the official opening, major sporting events of the region for 2024 were presented. These are the Match of Stars of the Association of Student Basketball, the Anniversary XXXV Ivan Yarygin Cup, as well as the Winter Spartakiad of the Strongest - the largest sporting event of the year.

"The Krasnoyarsk region is the most populated region beyond the Urals and a leader in terms of many economic indicators: we have already built a bridge across the Yenisei River, now we are building the long-awaited metro. Such objects will be part of the 400th anniversary of Krasnoyarsk. Now our city is the first in copper-nickel group metals and one of the leaders in gold. Thanks to the program approved by the Russian Government on the decision of President Vladimir Putin, Norilsk - the city where miners and workers of the mining and ore complex live - is undergoing a comprehensive change. Our coking coal reserves are comparable to Australia. And in order to make these reserves available, the most modern mining technologies are applied in Taymyr," - said the head of the region Mikhail Kotyukov.

The head of the Krasnoyarsk region talked about the tourist potential of the region, which is famous for ecological, skiing and health tourism.  In addition, the Governor presented to the public the investment capital of the mineral-rich region, as well as the complex investment project "Yenisei Siberia", aimed at socio-economic development of the Krasnoyarsk region, the Republic of Khakassia and the Republic of Tyva. More than 70 companies, including leaders of the world market of industrial products, take part in its implementation.

One of the important development projects of the region in recent years is the construction of the Vysokogorsky Bridge. The northernmost bridge across the Yenisei, built on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, creates a powerful impetus for the region's economic development and ensures uninterrupted communication between the Yenisei and North Yenisei districts. The opening of the Astafiev National Center to mark the 100th anniversary of the Siberian writer in 2024 will be a bright cultural event for the Krasnoyarsk region.

According to the head of state, the development of Siberia is a priority of national policy. With the support of the Government, as part of the execution of the President's instructions, projects aimed at developing the region's transportation infrastructure are being financed. Among them is the construction of a high-speed underground metro line in Krasnoyarsk. The President's instructions to Gazprom, the Russian Government and the Krasnoyarsk region to gasify Krasnoyarsk by the 400th anniversary of the city in 2028 are significant for the residents of the regional capital.

The culmination of the cultural program of the Krasnoyarsk Region Day is the concert "My Homeland - Siberia!" The best bands of the region perform on the Main Stage of the exposition, including the world-famous Siberian Dance Ensemble named after Mikhail Godenko. The ensemble of song and dance of the peoples of the North "Heiro" will immerse the audience into the culture of indigenous small-numbered peoples. The name of the group means "rising sun" in the Dolgan language. All artists of the ensemble are representatives of the indigenous peoples of Taymyr.

The guests of the Day of the Krasnoyarsk Region will also enjoy a wide educational program. Its participants will watch the "performance" of the mighty Yenisei, "feel" the great Surikov and learn interesting facts about Stolbism (kind of freestyle mountaineering) from the famous rock climber and mountaineer, the hero of the Krasnoyarsk movie "Where Our Home Is" Nikolai Zakharov. By the way, at the lecture "Stolbism - a unique phenomenon originating from Krasnoyarsk" there will also be an immersion into the flavors of taiga and rocks of "Krasnoyarsk Pillars". It will be organized by Alexey Boltachev, a perfumer-miner from Norilsk, who combines work in the mine with the creation of unique fragrances.

Special attention in the program is paid to Krasnoyarsk film industry. Two films made by directors from the Krasnoyarsk region will be shown at the exposition. On the same day a discussion platform will be launched, where specialists will discuss the types of support for the film industry, which operate in the region, and the shooting season of the next year.
