A DuPont Eastern European business development team recently organized a "Going for Growth" business forum in Kazan and Elabuga -- an economic zone of the Republic of Tatarstan in the Russian Federation.  Tatarstan ranks as the fifth fastest growing region in the Russian Federation.

DuPont employees participated in workshops and networked with Tatarstan's leading industry professionals and government representatives.

"We are looking for new growth areas and have developed a creative approach to penetrate these regions," said Hartmut Reinke, director, DuPont Eastern Central Europe, Middle East & Africa.  "The resulting business opportunities will help us continue strong growth."

"We are fascinated by the growth of the Tatarstan economy and are amazed by the business opportunities in this region," said John Shmorhun, regional director, DuPont Eastern Europe.  "We urge DuPont businesses to take interest and maximize the 'One DuPont' approach in pursuing these opportunities."
