Khabarovsky Krai
Dear friends, welcome to the 'Far East Street' exhibition!
In the pavilion of the Khabarovsky Krai, you will find out the information about the achievements, history, as well as the investment potential and the social security benefits for residents of the region.
The Khabarovsky Krai is one of the largest in the Russian Federation with total area of 787,633 km2. Maritime boarders with total length of more than 2,500 km ensure annual cargo turnover of our seaports with more than 58 million tons. The Khabarovsky Krai is acknowledged as the industrial center of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia. Our aircraft builders produce the unique ultra-modern fifth-generation fighter Su-57, which has no analogues in the world. Our shipbuilders produce the combat vessels and submarines for the Russian Navy Pacific Fleet, as well as the modern large-tonnage civil vessels of various classes for domestic and foreign customers.
All the latest achievements of aviation and shipbuilding industries are presented for your attention in the Technopark special zone.
The Khabarovsky Krai is one of the most sustainable and attractive regions for doing business. It is located in the cross point of main transport corridors that connect the central part of Russian Federation with the Far Eastern macroregion and the People's Republic of China.
For many years the Khabarovsky Krai occupies top positions as a scientific and educational center of the Russian Far East and holds the first places in terms of level and quality of education.
Three sites of Advanced Special Economic Zones are created within the Khabarovsky Krai. The regime of Free Port of Vladivostok is applied to Vaninsky and Sovetsko-Gavansky municipal districts. More detailed information about the Special Economic regimes and applied benefits is presented for your attention in the Investment Potential zone of the pavilion.
The Khabarovsky Krai Tomorrow zone will transfer you to the upcoming future of our region, which is already being built by us.
Our region is attractive not only for doing business, but also for recreation. Thousands of tourists come to see the wonders of our nature: the high-altitude Lake Amut, the Doucet-Alin ridge, the Amur pillars, the mysterious petroglyphs of Sikachi-Alyan, the famous Shantar Islands, and much, much more.
We look forward to welcome you at our pavilion and invite you to visit our hospitable Khabarovsky Krai!

About the pavilion
The key idea of the exhibition is “Khabarovsky Krai – the center of high technologies”. The working title of the Pavilion is “The Future is Today”.
On the main podium stands the core module – a data center, a “supercomputer”, a motherboard, surrounded by “living walls”, so the harmony of the interaction of high technologies and nature is shown as a key condition for a comfortable future for all of mankind. Subsidiary facilities located next to the main podium create the image of eco-park of the future, in which modern technologies are integrated into the landscape for comfortable urban environment.
The exposition of the Pavilion of the region includes a zone – the eco-park Technopark using augmented reality technology (ART). Here visitors will be able to get acquainted with the significant achievements of the region in mechanical engineering. Augmented reality technology will create a realistic effect. In the center of the zone there is an art object “Made in the Khabarovsky Krai”, representing samples of eco-products produced by the regional manufacturers.
The Sport zone is an interactive Bandy zone, demonstrating the pride of the Khabarovsky Krai – achievements in bandy (Russian hockey). Here everyone will be able to join this game using modern technologies.
The central module contains an internal exhibition, representing the specialization of the region: high-tech industrial production. The pavilion will also represent the history of the region, the investment climate, social projects and prospects for its development. This information will be shown in interactive zones and installations: “Khabarovsky Krai tomorrow”, “History of the Khabarovsky Krai”, “Innovations”, “Investment climate”, “Social programs”.

Dear participants and guests of the 5th Eastern Economic Forum!
This year, as we celebrate the Forum’s 5th anniversary we have an opportunity to look back on everything that has been achieved since 2015. It was the first time when Vladivostok hosted the trendsetters from Russian and international business communities, government officials, foreign dignitaries, researchers, and experts – in other words, everyone who was prepared to cooperate with Russia and work in the Russian Far East; everyone, who was ready to launch new production facilities and develop those already in place; everyone, who aimed to create new jobs, construct roads, housing, and hospitals – namely improve the life of our Eastern territories.
The goals we set 5 years ago appeared unattainable back then. We discussed a broad range of topics: expectations and development prospects, creating new economic regimes and improving the investment climate, passing legislative initiatives and changing legal framework, putting new social infrastructure in place and helping regions reach their potential – in other words, we were talking about the future. Some were hopeful, some remained skeptical, yet there was only one thing that mattered: we were ready to act as one. And today, that future has become our present.
The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin designated the development of the Far East as a national priority of the entire 21st century. At the behest of the President, a whole new economy is being created in the region. Large companies as well as small and medium-sized businesses can count on tax breaks, administrative preferences, concessional loans, and support from the state development institutions.
A lot has been accomplished during the last 5 years: over 40 legislative initiatives that sustain investment activity and improve the social sphere have been passed; 20 advanced special economic zones and 5 free ports have been put in place. These measures resulted in over 1,780 new investment projects worth over RUB 3.8 trillion, and 230 new enterprises appeared. The government provides targeted infrastructural and financial support to the investors. Over 70 thousand people received free land and now are building houses and farms on their ‘Far Eastern hectares’.
17 different countries invest in the Far East: China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, to name a few. Since 2014, nearly 32% of all direct foreign investment came to our region.
The Far East itself has expanded: Zabaikalsky Krai and the Republic of Buryatia joined the Far Eastern Federal District, while the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East now oversees an additional region: the Russian Arctic Zone.
When it comes to the social sphere, the ‘Unified Subsidy’ mechanism has provided existing measures with additional stimulus. 57 centres of economic growth have received funding for the construction of schools and nurseries, hospitals as well as medical and obstetric stations, cultural centres and sports facilities. These centres are home to over 80% of Far Easterners.
A fair amount of good work has been done. Economic growth in the FEFD exceeds 4%, which is two times greater than the Russian national average. However, we are now faced with another objective: increasing economic growth in the Russian Far East to 6% per year. We also must figure out how to improve the quality of life in the Russian Far East and in the Arctic so that it exceeds the Russian national average. These objectives have been set by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
Our goal is to make the Russian Far East more accessible to investors and comfortable for the people that live here, providing them with the confidence that their dreams will become a reality in the nearest future.
Many topics that were brought up at previous Forums ended up serving as the foundation for the development and passing of legislation, the implementation of new business support measures, and the improvement of the Far East’s social welfare. I am confident that this Forum will continue contributing to the open dialogue between businesses and authorities, experts and researchers, sociologists and demographers.
I would like to wish Forum guests and participants all the best. The Russian Far East is open for cooperation: we value each partner, every opinion and every initiative that helps develop our country!
