The Komi Republic Week commences at the National Centre RUSSIA

The Komi Republic Week started at the National Centre RUSSIA on 19 January. As part of it, a meeting with the Head of the region, Rostislav Goldstein, will be held on 20 January. In a presentation format, Rostislav Goldstein will outline the territory's development prospects, new social projects, and investment opportunities. Registration to the event is available on the National Centre RUSSIA website.

The presentation by the head of the Komi Republic and his team will be complemented by personal stories from distinguished guests, including multiple-Olympic champion Yelena Vyalbe, People's Artists of Russia Alexander Oleshko and Yevgeny Knyazev, and others.

The territory of the Komi Republic covers over 400,000 square kilometres, which is comparable, for example, to the area of Germany. Russia's North is no longer perceived as a periphery, but is becoming a point of attraction for investors and those ready to work for the future.

Komi is the birthplace of Russian oil: the first extraction began near Ukhta back in the mid-18th century. Today, the region remains a guarantor of Russia's energy security, producing about 14 million tonnes of oil and 3.4 billion cubic metres of gas annually. The republic also employs unique technologies: the Yaregskoye field is the only one in Russia where high-viscosity oil is extracted using the mining method. The Pizhemskoye field, the country's largest titanium repository, will also become a new growth point.

The Komi Republic is rich not only in natural resources, but also possesses significant tourism potential. It is home to the mystical Manpupuner Plateau – one of the Seven Wonders of Russia. The oldest skis in the world, over 8,000 years old, were discovered in Komi. A true taiga treasure, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, is also located here.
