The Organizing Committee of the Russian Venture Forum has extended the deadline for startup applications to participate in RVF-2026. Projects can be submitted until January 20, 2026, on the official forum platform.

The Russian Venture Forum will take place from April 8 to 10, 2026, in Kazan and will be the 20th anniversary edition. The RVF traditionally serves as the country's largest platform for interaction between tech entrepreneurs, investors, corporations, and development institutions.

Participation in the forum opens up opportunities for startups to:

present their solutions to 150+ investors – from venture funds to corporate partners;

take part in pitch sessions, closed meetings, and business networking;

get into accelerator programs and launch pilot projects with large businesses;

place their project in the forum's exhibition considering their stage of development;

receive informational support and industry recognition based on the results of competitive selections.

The Russian Venture Forum annually becomes a point of attraction for active participants in the venture market. In 2025, the forum brought together more than 5,000 participants and served as a platform for dozens of investment deals and agreements. In 2026, the program is expected to expand: over 2,000 applications, participation of 30+ international startups, and the launch of new formats for working with projects and investors.

Startups, tech entrepreneurs, and teams focused on scaling, attracting investments, and establishing partnerships with large businesses are invited to participate.
