The key theme of the event: "Technological partnership – bringing together the best."

April 16 During the summit, System Electric and Metropolis signed a cooperation agreement. The document was signed by the General Director of System Electric Alexey Kashaev and Managing Partner, Deputy General Director of the Metropolis Company Oleg Baranov.

The agreement provides for joining forces in the development of scientific, technical, intellectual and industrial potential of the companies in order to increase energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of construction facilities in Russia, as well as the exchange of information in the field of architectural and construction design and the latest developments of electrical equipment brands System Electric, Dekraft and Mechanotronica.

"The construction industry is one of the most actively developing in Russia. Our company can offer a wide range of solutions for industry leaders, such as Metropolis. We look forward to a long-term mutually beneficial partnership and cooperation.", – said the General Director of System Electric Alexey Kashaev.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to cooperate with one of the leading manufacturers of electrical equipment for civil and industrial construction. We have many joint plans to share our experience and implement joint research, information, and educational initiatives." – emphasized the Managing Partner, Deputy General Director of the Metropolis Company Oleg Baranov.

As part of the business program of the summit Oleg Baranov and Alla Seregina, Marketing Director of Metropolis, spoke at a closed session for project organizations. Along with representatives of NOTIM and the St. Petersburg Mining University named after Empress Catherine II, the experts touched upon the topic of modern tools for the formation of the labor market in the architectural and construction industry, which is undoubtedly one of the key issues for the market at the moment.

The relevance of this topic was confirmed by the reaction of the audience, which was actively involved in the discussion. As a result, one of the most promising areas was identified: the involvement of universities in long-term cooperation with employers. Metropolis has been actively cooperating with specialized educational institutions for several years, in particular, for the second year in a row it has been the initiator and strategic partner of the Architecture, Design, Construction and Housing and Communal Services Student League of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship.

"This is not the easiest way, but it is effective. Students from the finalist teams traditionally get the opportunity to do an internship at the offices of the Metropolis company, and the best of them receive a job offer and join our team as employees. The participation of student teams in the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is a chance to gain experience in solving professional problems in conditions as close as possible to business realities, the ability to build communication in the project team and protect their solutions. Young professionals gain an understanding of the competitive environment and feel involved in the professional community.", - comments Alla Seregina.
