About Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council

Since 1994 the Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council (MARBC) has worked to foster business relations between Russia and the Newly Independent States (NIS), and the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Region, while cultivating mutual appreciation of political, economic, cultural and educational interests. The goal of the MARBC is to enable companies based in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Region to enhance their positions in Russia and the NIS, and to attract Russian businesses to the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Region.

The MARBC is a major non-profit organization in the Mid-Atlantic Region that provides information about and services related to Russia and the NIS. The MARBC places emphasis on industries in which the Russian market is most lucrative and prosperous, including Advanced Technology, Energy and Environment, Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology, Materials/Nanotechnology, Manufacturing Technology, Information Technology, Transportation, Instrumentation, Communications, Air, Space and Surface Transportation, Agriculture, and more.

The MARBC organizes more than 25 events annually, including many targeted to companies in these particular industries. Since mid-1997, the MARBC has been actively involved in developing cooperation with Russian regions. Since that time, the MARBC signed agreements with nearly twenty regional Russian Chambers of Commerce and Business Associations including Moscow and the Moscow Region which is the epicenter of most Russian technology-related enterprises, and others. In the last few years, the Russian-American technology cooperation became on of the major priorities of the Mid-Atlantic - Russian Business Council.

From March 2001 to June 2003, the MARBC, jointly with the U.S. Department of State, organized a series of thirteen successful seminars titled, "Russian Science and Technology Opportunities for U.S. Businesses."
