This year, the 3rd Russian Tech Tour – an independent platform for presentation of projects by promising technology companies to the international investors and heads of big companies – took place within the framework of the Kazan Venture Fair. As always, the Fair finished with the awarding ceremony for the companies – authors of the most successful projects.
