UK delegation to visit Tomsk Region

A British delegation is arriving to Tomsk Wednesday, February 1, on a working visit. The delegation includes Caroline Wilson, Minister Counselor at the British Embassy, and James McGuire, Consul General based in Ekaterinburg with two assistants.

They will learn about the socioeconomic situation in the region and discuss opportunities for British companies to implement their knowledge and experience in Tomsk Region.

Their agenda includes meetings with the Tomsk Region governor Viktor Kress and the management of the Tomsk SEZ and Tomsk Polytechnic University.

Back in 2009, Tomsk assets of the oil company Imperial Energy were sold to a British company and since then the cooperation with the UK was mainly in research and education. Last year, the Tomsk Region Administration and Rusnano invited ISIS Innovation (a subsidiary of the University of Oxford) to assist in the promotion of the products by Tomsk innovative companies in the foreign markets. This work will continue in 2012.
