Some types of research, including analytics on the leasing industry and microfinance organisations, remain unique – there are no analogues on the Russian market.

Information environment activities

Business Events

Expert RA, together with Expert Business Solutions, holds forums, conferences, and round tables to discuss the results of our research and develop solutions and scenarios for the business sector and the government.

Leading market experts, industry practitioners and representatives of regulators participate in the discussions.

Materials from the Expert RA and Expert Business Solutions forums are in high demand: reports, videos, presentations and photo galleries in the Expert RA corporate telegram channel always attract the audience’s attention.

The current topics of our conferences not only set the agenda for the professional community, but also regularly appear on the pages of business media.

In 2024 we have held eight high-profile offline conferences and forums.
