Over 30 Regions and Market Leaders to Gather at HSE University: Registration Open for Key Roundtable on Data in PPP

MOSCOW, June 4 – A major event for infrastructure market professionals will take place on June 4 at the HSE University campus. The roundtable "Data for Investment Decisions: Assessing Demand, Risks, and Project Sustainability" will serve as a discussion platform for participants from more than 30 Russian regions, representatives of major businesses, financial institutions, and relevant government agencies.

The organisers have prepared not only a substantive and topical programme but also an accessible online participation format for those unable to attend in person. Participation in the roundtable is free for all attendees. The event is being held with informational support from AIIL and PPP Prime.

Speakers include experts from VTB Infrastructure Holding, Sberbank, representatives of Urbantech Group, the strategic consultancy Hyperion, as well as regional representatives.

The discussion will focus on how to turn data into a foundation for investment decisions in PPP and concessions. With growing demands for project transparency, the topic is becoming increasingly relevant for all market participants.

Evgenia Zusman, Managing Partner of You & Partners and the founder of the You & Partners PPP Academy, commented:

"Without verifiable data, any PPP project is a lottery. At our joint event with HSE University, we will discuss how investors can start making decisions based on conducted market research, and why this matters. We will analyse real‑world cases and examine the experience of concessionaires and financing organisations in risk assessment based on research findings."

The roundtable programme will cover the most pressing and sought‑after topics of 2026:

• Legal trends in PPP‑2026: new rules of the game for investors.

• Traffic study methodologies: how to avoid forecasting errors.

• Banks' data requirements: what financial institutions want to see before providing financing.

• The risks of "beautiful justifications": why overly optimistic expectations can kill a project.

The organisers – one of Russia's leading universities (HSE University) and You & Partners – are confident that development, new knowledge, discussion platforms, and partnership among all market participants are essential for establishing high standards and advancing the PPP market in Russia.

Sharing the principles of corporate social responsibility and recognising the importance of education and development, the organisers have allocated a special slot within the roundtable's business programme for the "Big Change" Foundation for Orphans, to support their initiative and hold a charity fundraiser in support of educational accessibility for children with experience of orphanhood. Join the fundraiser.

Venue: HSE University, 11 Myasnitskaya Street, Moscow, Room 518. View the full programme [link].
