One of the key digital tools at present is the MSP.RF platform, which is already represented by more than 90 large Russian and foreign companies and retailers for cooperation and more than 6,000 nomenclature items, for which companies are looking for suppliers. The possibility of disseminating the experience of using the SME.RF Platform in friendly countries is being considered, which is confirmed by signing of Agreements between the countries.

Purchases of large businesses from SME representatives over the past year amounted to about 7 trillion rubles. SME development can be seen as a priority for the development and diversification of the countries’ economy.

There are a number of good examples of effective cooperation and promotion of SMEs in the Russian and international markets: X5 Group, Zagotovitel, and ROBBO.

The e-commerce market is currently experiencing growth problems, which can also be solved with the involvement of SMEs.
