"Extensive Networking", "Focused" and "Informative"

This exclusive, capped attendance event brought together 120 of the most senior representatives of the country’s leading borrowers, local and international financial institutions, insurers, ECAs and advisers.

With focused and informative content, honest discussion of financing trends & opportunities, plus excellent networking opportunities, TXF Moscow was an event not to be missed if you are active in the region.

Appealing to senior decision-makers, TXF Moscow attracted an even mix of guests, with 50% corporate attendance, from borrowers to exporters. What's more, our guests had even more opportunities to get talking with their industry, as we provided unique session formats with smaller groups, as well as the usual keynote plenary sessions.
