Kazan Forum Unites Russia's Energy Leaders to Shape 2050 Strategy

As part of the Kazan International Forum ENERGOPROM, Novikom Bank's leadership is set to meet with government officials and industrial enterprises of Tatarstan. This year, the bank serves as the forum's general partner.

The key themes of ENERGOPROM-2026's business program include power sector development, ensuring technological sovereignty, infrastructure modernization, the adoption of domestic solutions, and workforce training for the industry.

Rustam Minnikhanov, Head of the Republic of Tatarstan, noted that "energy development—including power engineering—remains a priority, and under current conditions, solutions that enhance the reliability of energy systems, modernize infrastructure, and implement homegrown technologies are of particular importance."

Novikom's participation in the exhibition and business programs aims to strengthen collaboration with leading companies in Russia's energy sector. The bank will showcase its expertise in financing investment projects in the industry, as well as tools covering the entire production and supply chain cycle.

A highlight of the business program will be a networking breakfast co-hosted by Novikom and the Government of Tatarstan. Representatives from government, energy companies, and industry will discuss mechanisms for securing affordable financing, developing supply chains, and boosting investment in the power sector.

ENERGOPROM is one of Russia's premier industry platforms for addressing strategic issues in power sector development, implementing the country's Energy Strategy through 2050, and advancing technological sovereignty, sustainable growth, and energy infrastructure modernization. Now in its 28th year, the forum will be held in Kazan from April 1–3, bringing together federal and regional officials, energy companies, industrial players, and the scientific community.
