Participate in TRANSTEC Presentation 2022

History and numbers

The topic of TRANSTEC 2021 is Russia’s development through the development of transport corridors. 

The TRANSTEC exhibition and conference has been held since 1994 with support from the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, the Government of St. Petersburg, industry unions and associations of transport workers.

The Ministry of Transport of  the Russian Federation estimates that for a number of years the TRANSTEC exhibition and conference “...has recommended itself as in-demand professional platforms for routinely supporting the international B2B and expert dialogue in the interests of developing hands-on collaboration in the field of maritime and inland shipping, and port complexes. Russian ports, sea and river transport do not simply ensure the progressive growth in freight turnover, but also continue the active development and updating of existing and long-term capacities, the fleet of technical devices and technologies, acting as one of the long-term drivers for economic growth...”

The Committee on Investment Programmes for Development of Port Infrastructure and the Committee on Technology and Mechanisation of ASOP recommended the possible use of exhibitions and conferences of TRANSTEC as a systematic platform for interaction between government structures, ports, investors and related types of transport structures to develop the port and portside infrastructure. 

TRANSTEC 2020 took place from 14 through 16 September 2020 and proved that the borders closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic did not impede a productive dialogue between the representatives from business, the authorities, international experts and scientists. The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and the Government of St. Petersburg provided official support for the Forum based on a long tradition.

Over 600 delegates representing 499 companies from 47 regions in Russia and 38 world countries participated in the event. Foreign speakers and delegates held online discussions with video broadcasting and simultaneous interpreting due to the realities of 2020.
