Expertise

We have developed projects with important Russian groups in media, building materials, chemicals, FMCG, logistics and technology.

We have strong connections to a select group of entrepreneurs and investors in Russia with whom we have been working for a long period of time. We do not actively pursue opportunities outside this group, together with their trusted network, and generally focus on mobilising capital for SME opportunities in the country.

We have a long experience and understanding of Russian business and the critical success factors that can lead to a mutually positive outcome from a cross-border cooperation.
