About Kazan Venture Fair
The premier platform for venture capital investments, high-tech commercialization, and international cross-border partnership in Russia.
A Proven Legacy of Venture Catalysis
Founded in 2005 through a strategic collaboration between the Investment and Venture Fund of the Republic of Tatarstan (IVF RT) and the Russian Venture Capital Association (RVCA), the Kazan Venture Fair quickly earned nationwide status as the Russian Venture Fair.
The mission of the fair is to cultivate an active ecosystem of equity finance, accelerate the transfer of science-intensive research into industrial implementation, and provide high-potential ventures with direct access to institutional capital.
Each edition brings together prominent angel networks, sovereign wealth funds, corporate innovation leaders, and venture fund managers from across Europe, North America, and Asia.
