About Us

In accordance with the order of the Governor of the Smolensk region and in order to support export-oriented small and medium-sized businesses of the Smolensk region, to help increase the volume of exports of Smolensk region enterprises, the Administration of the Smolensk region created the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization "Coordination Center for Support of Export-Oriented Small and Medium Enterprises Smolensk region" (hereinafter referred to as the Center).

In modern economic conditions, the state sets the task of increasing the share of Russia in international trade and improving the structure of Russian exports, namely the development of its non-primary component. Market conditions are now favorable for the entry of our enterprises into international markets: the low rate of national currency, availability of skilled and inexpensive labor, low cost of electricity, etc. The key factor in the implementation of these tasks is the use of the export potential of the regions.

For this purpose, a federal "Russian Export Center" (REC) has been established in Russia, and regional export support centers are being set up in the regions to target local small and medium-sized producers of goods and services. To date, the infrastructure departments of the REC and regional export support centers operate in many regions and subjects of the Russian Federation, including the Smolensk region. However, Smolensk exporters have a number of advantages that need to be actively used to realize their export potential: the geographical position on the direct road to Europe, proximity to foreign countries, close connection with the Republic of Belarus, the developed transport and logistics infrastructure and the energy surplus of the region.
