“Exporter of the Year is awarded to support and grow export-oriented domestic businesses, and to discover and encourage the best exporters and promote best practices in international trade,” Andrey Slepnev, Russian Export Center CEO, said.
The award categories include Industrial Exporter of the Year, Service Exporter of the Year, Agribusiness Exporter of the Year, High Technology Exporter of the Year, Breakthrough of the Year (special category for SMEs), and New Geography (special category for large businesses).
The award is notable for its national level of recognising exporters’ achievements and for its wide geography across Russian regions and federal districts.
