The Far East of Russia, a region rich in potential, has been highlighted by Vitaly Sergeichuk, a member of VTB's management board, as a prime area for investment. At the Eastern Economic Forum-2025, Sergeichuk emphasised the significant scientific potential of the region and the success of public-private partnership projects.

One of the promising directions for investment is the development of transport infrastructure, with a focus on the Moscow-Saint Petersburg high-speed railway and increasing oil production after the lifting of OPEC restrictions. The region's strategic location, with exports to China and Southeast Asian countries remaining significant, makes it an attractive prospect for investors.

Infrastructure construction remains a key area for investment, as the region strives to become a leader in the scientific and technical sphere. The construction of university campuses is a significant investment opportunity in the Far East, with 25 such campuses reportedly bringing regions up to 2.2 trillion rubles in investments, according to DK.RU. The Chelyabinsk campus, constructed within the framework of concession agreements, is an example of implemented projects in the Far East.

The agricultural sector also shows high potential due to the expected harvest, requiring investments in processing and logistics. Growing agricultural production and processing will not only boost the local economy but also contribute to the region's overall development.

The tourist flow to the Far East, which exceeded 2 million people, necessitates the development of tourist infrastructure. The investments have been used for the development of social, transport, and educational infrastructure, with the construction of university campuses being a potential driver for economic growth in the region.

Social infrastructure, according to Sergeichuk, is no different from road or airport projects in terms of design and financing. The construction of 25 university campuses is a reported trend, with the state showing high demand for the development of similar initiatives. The Far East currently ranks second in Russia for the construction of university campuses.

Since 2007, VTB has attracted over 1 trillion rubles in investments, demonstrating the bank's commitment to the region's development. The focus is on developing transport infrastructure and regional ports, with the agricultural sector also requiring attention to fully unlock the region's potential.

In conclusion, the Far East offers a wealth of investment opportunities, particularly in the areas of transport infrastructure, university campus construction, and the agricultural sector. As the region continues to develop, it is poised to become a leader in the scientific and technical sphere, attracting both domestic and foreign investment.
