SPEAKERS:    Frost & Sullivan’s Beatrice Shepherd, Director, Central & Eastern Europe, Russia & CIS and Aroop Zutshi, Global President and Managing Partner

Faced with saturated markets in developed countries, companies are searching for ways to increase their bottom-line profits while decreasing their costs. Considerable attention is currently focused on a number of emerging markets due to attractive features such as increasing populations, domestic consumption and foreign direct investments.

This presentation will highlight the key developments in two rising economies, Poland and Russia, which present excellent opportunities for growth. The briefing specifically covers these countries from an economic perspective, considering general demographic dynamics, hard and soft infrastructure developments, as well as the overview of the key growth industries over the next five years.  

Industries that will be discussed include:
•   Energy
•   Biotechnology
•   Emerging Technologies
•   Oil and Gas

Who should attend:
The briefing will benefit the global business community and media outlets that are interested in covering emerging markets, trends and technologies, as well as the continuous investment into emerging markets. This could also include multi-national corporations, expanding companies, and start-ups, as well as investment organizations such as banks and private equities.

Supporting Quotes:
“Russia and Poland are the largest and fastest growing economies in the CEE region,” said Frost & Sullivan Director, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and CIS, Beatrice Shepherd.  “The countries boast growing domestic consumption, improving investment climate and increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. In addition, Poland and Russia have extraordinary infrastructure needs in roads and railway construction, airports modernization, electric power generation and distribution. This is why these countries should be looked at very seriously by foreign investors.  Russia is becoming the biggest domestic demand country in the next decade while Western Europe and the U.S. stagnate.”

“Emerging markets grow at least three times faster than developed markets and 75 percent of them have twice the GDP growth of leading developed markets,” said Frost & Sullivan Global President and Managing Partner Aroop Zutshi.  “In 2010, 88 out of the Fortune global 500 companies were from emerging markets.”
