Kavkaz.RF is preparing to launch its "Investment Hub" digital platform.

Collaboration with the country's largest credit institutions and development institutions within the framework of the North Caucasus Federal District Investment Hub was discussed at a meeting chaired by Andrey Tsemakhovich, First Deputy General Director of Kavkaz.RF. Representatives of leading financial institutions participated in the discussion: VEB.RF, Sberbank of Russia's South-West Bank, VTB Bank, MSP Bank, Rosselkhozbank, DOM.RF Bank, and PSB Bank.

The meeting marked an important step in implementing Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak's instruction to expand the development institution's activities as a "one-stop shop" for working with investors in the North Caucasus Federal District.

A digital platform will become the central tool for interaction. It is designed to consolidate information on breakthrough projects in the macroregion and residents of territories with special legal status (SEZs, priority development areas, technology parks). Kavkaz.RF acts as a one-stop shop, providing support in four key areas: project assessment, transaction structuring, project support in obtaining financing from credit institutions and development institutions, consultations, and assistance in obtaining government support.

"By creating the Investment Hub, we are acting as a high-quality filter and service center for businesses. Our goal is not simply to assemble a database, but to provide in-depth analysis and project packaging tailored to the requirements of specific banks. We offer financial institutions well-developed initiatives in a highly prepared state, which minimizes their risks and significantly accelerates the investor's journey from idea to project implementation and promotion of finished products," said Andrey Tsemakhovich, First Deputy General Director of Kavkaz.RF.

Thanks to this synergy, development institutions and banks will be able to consider projects that have already undergone initial screening and consulting support, making the investment process in the North Caucasus Federal District more efficient and facilitating additional investment in the district.

The overall impact for the North Caucasus Federal District is an increase in the number of investment projects receiving state support, growth of legitimate businesses, the creation of additional output (contribution to GRP), additional tax revenues for budgets at all levels, and the creation of additional jobs.
