Kazan has long been among the most popular tourist destinations in Russia. According to the State Tourism Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan, tourist flow to the Republic has increased eightfold over the past twenty years. In 2025, Tatarstan was visited by over 4.5 million people, ranking sixth among the country’s regions in terms of guest numbers.
One of the reasons to visit the hospitable capital of Tatarstan this summer is the IV International Forum “SPROUTS: Russia and China – Mutually Beneficial Cooperation”, which will be held on 16-19 August.
The Forum’s high level of organisation is confirmed by professional recognition.
In 2024, the Forum was recognised with the prestigious EFEA Awards – one of the leading professional awards in the convention, exhibition, and event industry, given to the most significant forums, exhibitions, and business events in Russia.
Moreover, in 2024, “SPROUTS” Business Forum won the “Best International Event” Award at the Russian Event Awards. In 2025, the Forum again ranked among the country’s top projects, becoming a finalist at the 14th International Russian Event Awards, which included 73 projects from 63 regions of Russia, as well as the Republic of Belarus and South Ossetia.
“SPROUTS” is more than just a business programme. In addition to sessions dedicated to the development of Russian-Chinese cooperation in industry, agriculture, medicine, education, technology, and other areas, guests will enjoy a rich cultural programme.
Participants will be able to attend the “Chinese Sabantuy”, dragon boat racing, tours of Kazan and the island-city of Sviyazhsk, a cross-cultural area, arts and crafts workshops, exhibitions, and creative events introducing the traditions of Russia and China.
The Forum combines business networking, cultural exchange, and the opportunity to get to know one of Russia’s most hospitable and dynamically developing cities.
