Forum features
5 characteristic features of MIR Forum
1. Location: Moscow – the port of the five seas
Marine Industry of Russia International Forum is a successor of Moscow Marine Exhibition which first took place in our capital as early as in 1908. Even back then, the chairman of the Exhibition committee, replying to the question “Why was Moscow, a terrestrial city, chosen for the event?”, said “Because it is the very place, where numerous and various interests of the country come together <...>, and long since it was noted that in Russia only those enterprises of common interest develop steadily which were approved by Moscow.” Since then the role of Moscow as a major investment centre has only been increasing.
