Rusnet was established as a result of privatisation of a part of the Russia & CIS Foreign Investment Promotions Centre "FIPC"'s activities.

Rusnet (formerly FIPC-Rusnet) proved its competence by consulting Dutch and Belgian companies and firms in industrial, agro-industrial, food-processing, transport and other sectors. Besides, it has experience in such sectors as luxury goods, shipbuilding, port development, real estate development, consumer market development, and infrastructure, telecom, environmental and social projects.

Thanks to its historic relations with the official FIPC-network and the fact that its employees derived from high level official circles of the former Soviet Union, Rusnet has a wide informal network in Russia and the CIS at its disposal. The experience proves that this is a successful starting point for effective and purposeful consulting of Western companies.
