Welcome Address – Anatoly Pakhomov

Dear Friends,

On behalf of all residents of Sochi, I would like to welcome the participants, guests, and organizers of the tenth ATOMEXPO 2018 International Forum!
We are honoured to host such a high-profile forum! It brings together leading representatives of business, political and public figures, scientists, and experts to discuss the priorities and focuses of the nuclear industry’s development.
The ATOMEXPO Forum is all the more important today because the nuclear industry has a high concentration of the most advanced technologies and enormous innovative potential, which can make a substantial contribution to improving people’s quality of life. I am very glad that wind power is now included among the new focuses of Rosatom State Corporation. It should be noted that Rosatom State Corporation’s first projects for the construction of wind power plants will be implemented in the Krasnodar Territory since it is essential to use eco-friendly technologies and develop green energy in our resort region.
I sincerely hope that the time participants and guests of the Forum spend in our city will produce specific beneficial results and create new opportunities for the development of the nuclear industry as a whole! I hope you all enjoy successful, fruitful work and the most pleasant impressions of your stay in the resort city of Sochi! 
 
Best regards, 
Mayor of Sochi  
Anatoly Pakhomov
