In 2021, it was 53,000. This means that small and medium-sized enterprises have become more active in entering foreign markets. This is due to the fact that small companies are much faster to restructure their business and use the new opportunities that they have,” Nikishina said.

And we vote that this integrity and customer orientation of the resources and activities, which have already proven themselves among exporters, both small and large, should be maintained and supplemented with new tools,” the REC head emphasized.In her speech, she noted the need to integrate federal and regional support measures so that exporters can access them seamlessly from one place. To achieve this, the REC is continuing to develop the digital platform “My Export”, which aims to provide a single digital access point to all services related to foreign economic activity in just a few clicks.
