 “EXPOCENTRE's motto is “Demonstrating the Future”. And indeed, at our sites, as in a Russian fairy tale, sometimes you can come across something that does not yet formally exist, according to documents - those innovations, technologies and devices that will be used in a few years,” the speaker stressed. According to her, EXPOCENTRE AO has always been a launching pad for talented young people, the company pays special attention to work with students, young scientists.

"Today we are talking about health culture, and I cannot but mention one of Europe's oldest congresses devoted to this topic - our own project, which has been held since 1974 - Russian Health Care Week. Our venerable academics joke that they remember Russian Health Care Week as students," said Anna Sadovnichaya in her speech.
