About Us
The Leningrad Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry is the youngest Chamber in the system of regional chambers in the Russian Federation.
Within 7 years it has become not only the largest chamber (over 4000 members) in Russia, but a fertile soil in which effective relations between business and authorities in our region are built. The legal basis for such relations is compiled by agreements of cooperation between the Chamber, the Government, and the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region.
