AK Bars Golf Club
XV Charity Golf Tournament for the Head Cup of the Republic of Tatarstan
The tournament will take place on a modern 18-hole course designed by legendary third-generation architect Peter Harrdin.
It is no coincidence that the tournament is being held within the framework of the SPROUTS forum: golf in China is a rapidly developing and prestigious sport. In recent years, Chinese golfers have been asserting themselves on the world stage: 20-year-old Yin Zhongying from Shanghai joined the global elite, winning medals at international tournaments and rising to the top of the world rankings, and young athlete Guan Tianlan, at the age of 14, became the youngest participant in a Major tournament in history. At the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, China took second place in the golf medal standings - the results in the individual championships among men and women were taken into account. Golf is growing in popularity in China, and golf tournaments are being held in Shanghai and on Hainan Island with the participation of foreign athletes.
"Holding a joint tournament in Tatarstan is a new gesture of cultural closeness, openness and mutual respect," said Taliya Minullina, Head of the Investment Development Agency of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The tournament will be attended by heads and representatives of enterprises of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as for the first time – guests of the forum from China. This event not only helps to strengthen business and cultural ties, but also carries an important humanitarian mission.: The funds raised will be used to support the work of the Family Home in Kazan, where children who undergo long-term treatment at the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital live free of charge with their parents.
Access to the event is subject to pre-registration by e-mail: forumrostki@mail.ru.

Russia-China: Logistics Connectivity as the Foundation of Sustainable Partnership
Organizer: FESCO Transport Company.
The development of Russian-Chinese relations today relies not only on political and economic mutual interests but also on the practical connectivity between the two countries through sustainable logistics routes. Modern conditions require a shift from isolated solutions to systemic integration of transport infrastructures, logistics services, and regulatory procedures. Railway crossings, maritime routes, and land corridors all contribute to the architecture that determines the stability of bilateral trade turnover, the development of industrial cooperation, and export-import resilience. New challenges impose increased demands on capacity, cargo processing speed, and the predictability of logistics schemes. Key areas of focus include the synchronization of transport hub development, digitalization of logistics processes, unification of customs and phytosanitary procedures, as well as the launch of joint multimodal projects. All of this transforms logistics from a supporting element of trade into a full-fledged foundation for strategic partnership. What solutions are necessary to enhance the quality of logistics integration between Russia and China? Where are the main growth points today, and what barriers need to be removed? What contributions can business and government agencies make to create a truly sustainable transport architecture between the two countries?
Speakers:
• Igor Levitin, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for International Cooperation in Transport; Deputy Chairman, Maritime Board of the Russian Federation;

Trade and Economic Interregional Cooperation in a Rapidly Changing World
Organizer: Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in the Russian Federation.
Against the backdrop of the dynamically developing partnership between Russia and China, the Republic of Tatarstan is becoming a key region for deepening economic interaction. With a high level of business activity, investment attractiveness, unique industrial competencies, active international ties, a pool of highly qualified local personnel, and preferential regimes, Tatarstan provides a favorable environment for the implementation of large-scale joint projects.

Deepening cooperation in the Republic of Tatarstan opens new opportunities not only for bilateral collaboration but also for integration into the economy of the Eurasian macro-region. Realizing this potential requires a comprehensive approach and long-term strategy from both countries. What steps can help deepen investment interaction? What barriers hinder more dynamic development of cooperation? How can investment support mechanisms be improved between the two countries, particularly through interregional tracks?
