Results of Our Participation in the Russian Venture Forum 2026

In April, our team participated in the Russian Venture Forum 2026 in Kazan. For us, this was a working trip with a clear objective: present the project, hold meetings, get market feedback, and discuss further development opportunities with potential partners and investors. We delivered on all fronts.

At the forum, we presented the first working prototype of Altermega for the very first time. During our participation, the team worked at the booth, delivered project presentations, engaged with a targeted audience, and took part in pitches. We prepared both Russian and English-language materials, which proved useful — there were many international participants on the floor, giving us the opportunity to hold negotiations with them as well.

As a result of the trip, we gathered a significant number of valuable contacts. Some are on the commercial side, others on the investment side. For us, this is a solid practical outcome — concrete new connections to build on. With some of them, we are already discussing further collaboration even as we write this article.

We were genuinely pleased by the level of interest in the product itself. At the booth, we demonstrated the working prototype, answered questions, and discussed the practical applications of the project. It was important for us to test how the idea lands in live conversation — and we are glad that this format generated useful reactions and helped us better understand which aspects of the project resonate most with people.

We also delivered several substantive project presentations. One of them ran significantly over the allotted time (we are not complaining), as additional questions and interest in the topic emerged during the talk.

The cherry on top: Following our participation, the Altermega project received the Finalist Diploma of the International Exhibition of Advanced Innovative Projects. A strong result for the trip, we think.

Overall, we consider the trip to Kazan a success. We were able to present the project, hold negotiations, gather interested contacts, and confirm appetite for further dialogue. We are now following up on the forum outcomes and developing the connections made at the event.

We would like to separately thank the forum organizers for the opportunity to participate, and everyone we had the chance to speak with in Kazan — for their interest in the project and the quality of the conversations. Our team members who attended the forum also noted the exceptional level of organization/
