As savvy investors will confirm, Russia is one of the business world’s best-kept secrets. While developed markets fail to generate much beyond low single-digit growth, the Russian market offers tremendous opportunity for growth. Despite a slowdown forecast for 2009, Russia’s economy is expected to bounce back in 2010, driven mainly by the energy sector.

Inside Russia is the ideal bridge for companies interested in doing business in Russia. Under the guidance of IESE Professors Pedro Videla and Evgeny Káganer, and The Economist Group's Senior Vice President Daniel Thorniley, the program provides insights on the economic, political and social environment as well as long-term investment opportunities and consumer behavior.

Dynamic sessions in Moscow and St. Petersburg and networking opportunities with Russian business leaders
will offer a close-up view of doing business in Russia today. Ultimately, participants will leave the program convinced that free market competition is the rule rather than the exception.
