The first Russian Business and Investment Summit (RBIS) will take place at the New York Stock Exchange on October 27-28, 2011. Organizers and participants – which include the CEOs of major Russian corporations, American investors and government officials – hope this event can jumpstart American participation in Russia’s economic growth over the next decade. Russia’s leadership has banked on attracting foreign investment as a key tool to achieving the economic diversification the country desperately needs. RBTH is providing extensive coverage of the event from Wall Street in New York City.
