Tomorrow Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will have a welcoming speech on the theme "We have changed". However, the actual work of SPIEF-2010 begins today - with the five round tables, four of which represent a business dialogue with key trading partners (CIS, EU, USA, India), while the fifth is devoted to electricity and is held by the Federal Grid Company (FGC).
A distinctive feature of this forum is its French accent. It is quite natural - the current year has been declared the Year of Russia in France (and in France, respectively, the Year of Russia). The forum convened management of almost all the major French corporations.

On the last day of the forum the president of France Nicolas Sarkozy will appear.
