The Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) offers its member companies a qualified and well-tested business model that simplifies the initial process of establishing a presence in the Russian market. 

From our office based in the heart of Moscow DI offers your company a secure platform from which you can gradually build your experiences and test the rapidly growing Russian market.

The Russian economy is among the fastest growing in the world. At the same time Russia is a demanding environment that poses numerous challenges to the newcomer. Especially, the demand for a local presence is not to be underestimated.

The concept "Own man in Russia" (OMIR) provides your company with an effective and relatively low-cost start-up. The office is also able to provide the member companies with market reports, partner search, and business plans, so as to uncover the market conditions relevant to your company.

Oil and natural gas kept fuelling the Russian economy in the 2000s. The country's vast resources have been the key drivers behind the annual GDP-growth of six to eight percent.

The Russian middle class is growing. The low level of taxation and a low propensity to save provide the population with a growing purchasing power and level of consumption. This is especially true in the 13 cities with a population exceeding one million.

Russians are conscious consumers. The demand for well designed goods of high quality is felt among many western companies. The growth is especially noticeable within the construction industry, retail, food-processing equipment, agricultural equipment, and medico, not to mention equipment for the oil and gas industry.

Amidst the global economic downturn, potential Russian clients are becoming more careful in their choice of suppliers. As business in Russia is slowing down, Russian companies are looking for more cost-effective solutions and better quality. The Danish producers who can seize this opportunity will profit from this.
