On 17–18 August 2026, the Russia China Expo international exhibition will take place at the Kazan Expo International Exhibition Centre as part of the IV International Forum “SPROUTS: Russia and China – Mutually Beneficial Cooperation”. Covering more than 10,000 square metres, the exhibition will bring together companies, research organisations and government bodies to showcase their latest technologies, products and innovative solutions.
The exhibition will serve as one of the leading platforms for Russian-Chinese business cooperation, bringing together the industrial, energy, healthcare, agri-food, logistics, construction, mechanical engineering, artificial intelligence and high-technology sectors. In 2025, the exhibition featured 68 companies and organisations from several countries, including leading Russian and Chinese manufacturers, technology firms and investment organisations.
A key highlight of the programme will be the 1st Russia-China Scientific and Business Symposium “Russia-China: Technologies for Healthcare”, where experts from both countries will present cutting-edge medical innovations, digital healthcare solutions, artificial intelligence applications and advanced diagnostic technologies. The symposium will include industry discussions, technology sessions, business meetings and the signing of cooperation agreements.
The exhibition will be organised by industry sectors. Dedicated exhibition zones will focus on healthcare, food products, energy, industry, agriculture, construction, consumer goods, mechanical engineering and metalworking, the low-altitude economy, and artificial intelligence. This format will enable exhibitors and visitors to identify potential partners more efficiently and establish new business partnerships.
The SPROUTS Forum will also provide a platform for direct dialogue between the business community, federal government officials and senior executives of major Russian and Chinese companies. Confirmed participants in the business programme include Oksana Lut, Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation; Alexander Babakov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation; Boris Titov, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Relations with International Organisations; Igor Levitin, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation; Zhou Liqun, Chairman of the Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Russia; Guo Kuilong, Secretary General of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME); Sun Bohui, Chairman of the Board of the China Chengtong International Investment Co., Ltd., as well as many other distinguished Russian and international experts.
The Forum is also expected to welcome official delegations from the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi and Shandong, the Chongqing Municipality, and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
