Beer & Partners London Investment Fair 2013

Submitted by Olga Kudriavtseva on Tue, 05/28/2013 - 19:49

On 23 May 2013 Beer & Partners run their annual London Investment Fair, which over the last thirteen years has been a platform for direct communication between companies seeking funding with investment institutions and private high net worth individuals.

Enjoying the primary location of Central Hall Westminster, located opposite Westminster Abbey and adjacent to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the participants of the event had an opportunity to establish a direct dialogue “Face to Face”.

This year there were many exciting opportunities for investors - from companies who convert energy waste heat into electricity, to a company that reduces carbon emissions, to a phone app and a company who uses tobacco plants to make life-saving affordable medicines.

Russia & CIS Express: A look at key issues and trends

Submitted by russianmind on Mon, 12/17/2012 - 16:43

By Nick Page

Following a challenging past year, when drought and heat-wave slowed down economic activity, Russia’s growth trajectory is firmly back on track. And with inflation predicted to recede in the second half of 2011, the climate for investment looks increasingly attractive.

This macro backdrop aligns favourably with government plans to privatise several state-owned enterprises through to 2013. And with a raft of business-friendly reforms scheduled – including the abolition of capital gains tax on long-term investments from 2011 – there are real causes for optimism.

The Conservative Friends of Russia: “The UK and Russia have a lot in Common”

Submitted by Olga Kudriavtseva on Mon, 11/05/2012 - 16:01

Being a Friend of Russia is not the same as being a Friend of the Russian government believe Conservative Friends of Russia (CFoR), a group for those with an interest in Russian politics, history, business and culture. The organisation was launched two years ago by the UK Conservative Party, aiming to improve relations between the two countries, provide a forum for open debate and help to inform decision making in business and politics. It has since grown to gain significant popularity and involvement with a wide range of people from differing backgrounds.
