On October 20, at the student conference “Management of the Future” at the Graduate School of Management of St. Petersburg State University, expert events were held by the strategic partner - VTB Bank.

Such cooperation is not accidental: the organizers of the conference note the great interest of future graduates and young professionals in VTB as an employer.

 Master class: “VTB Group – from success today to the first choice financial partner of tomorrow” was conducted by Deputy Head of the Strategy and Corporate Development Department - Vice President Alexander Voronov.

 He spoke about VTB as a dynamically and steadily growing universal financial group that meets the needs of clients in the most convenient and modern ways. “We understand that our main expertise is the banking business. We want to be a bank for the client in any life situation where financial support is required,” noted Alexander Voronov.

 The workshop“Corporate and investment business: new challenges and new solutions” was conducted by Oleg Sobchenko, director of sales of financial products at VTB Bank.

 He said that the bank is actively developing its expertise in the field of financing large corporate clients and paying special attention to the issue of international payments. The expert noted that the bank’s clients constantly have new requests due to market changes, and VTB successfully finds effective individual solutions for each of them. “VTB is not just a lending bank. This is a universal financial partner that provides various financial products and services, advises on transactions and structures them, shares expertise, thus helping its clients develop sustainably at different stages of business development,” Sobchenko said.

VTB Bank is a strategic partner of the Graduate School of Management of St. Petersburg State University and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Business School since 2007. The key to long-term cooperation with the university is the synergy of the academic and business communities, as well as the implementation of common goals for the education and self-realization of a new generation of leaders of the Russian economy.

Large-scale partnership projects between VTB and GSOM SPbU concern both the introduction of the latest standards and technologies of education at the world level, and the creation of modern infrastructure for the harmonious development of GSOM SPbU students.

 

Thus, on the Mikhailovskaya Dacha university campus, with the participation of the bank, new sports facilities and a modern area for independent work were opened in the student club building. With the assistance of VTB, digital educational environment projects are being launched at the GSOM St. Petersburg State University site and hybrid classrooms are being created. VTB expert practitioners directly participate in educational programs of GSOM SPbU on the topics of sustainable development, finance and investment. GSOM SPbU students annually undergo internships at the Bank's offices.

 

VTB Bank has played a significant role in the development of the “Management of the Future” conference since its inception, not only with financial, but above all with expert support. Every year, company representatives act as experts at panel sessions, and also share their expertise as part of master classes and case championships. This mentorship allowed the conference to grow from a student initiative to a large-scale business event recognized in the business community throughout Russia.
