St. Petersburg, December 4, 2025 – WELLGO co-organized and was a keynote speaker at the industry business breakfast "Business Insights Breakfast 2025. Growth Points: Strategy, HR, Logistics, and Payments."
Held jointly with partners TeamShip and HTS Rus, this event brought together international economic activity professionals to analyse market trends and identify practical solutions. The discussion focused on three strategic aspects of business development: human capital management, adapting logistics operations to new regulatory requirements, and optimising international payments in a changing geoeconomic environment.
The event also featured two speakers whose presentations provided an overview of the evolving business landscape.
Alla Stanislavskaya, HR Director at Glavstroy, shared her experience in creating a talent pool development program at a large industrial group. Alla discussed her approach to interacting with Generation Z.
Andrey Surovtsev, Deputy Director of the Foreign Economic Activity Department at PSKB Bank JSC, highlighted current opportunities for direct payments with China.
Key insights from the event:
1. Business Survey and Community Sentiment Overview:
Denis Panov, Ph.D., TeamShip, presented an exclusive study, "A Snapshot of the Changing Landscape" (April-September 2025), noting the market's transition from a "growth" paradigm to one of "development". This means that businesses will soon focus on creating new, more efficient operating models and related business processes.
2. Logistics in the New Reality:
WELLGO CEO Natalia Bochkova presented a detailed analytical review, highlighting the main challenges facing the market in 2025-2026. The presentation covered the critical importance of implementing and complying with the requirements of Federal Law No. 140-FZ.
This law requires a complete transition to electronic document management of shipping documents, modernizing the IT infrastructure of freight forwarding companies, and inspecting cargo before accepting it for forwarding and transportation. Clearly a significant impact on business processes for all freight forwarding companies.
The impact of global trends on international transportation: tightening carrier requirements and export control measures, along with more complex payments.
Declining consumer demand and overall rising operating costs.
In response to these challenges, WELLGO offers clients a strategy based on flexibility, in-depth route expertise, and operational risk management. Natalia also presented a comparative analysis of key trade corridors (China, India, UAE, Turkey, and the EU) across all modes of transport.
3. Financial Logistics
Vasily Zavrazhnev, Industrial Cargo Director at HTS Rus, emphasised in his presentation that choosing a payment scheme today is a complex task that requires consideration of legal regulations, counterparty readiness, and flawless document flow. Again, this emphasises that companies such as WELLGO must remain flexible and dynamic in today’s business environment.
To increase audience engagement, interactive surveys with real-time results were integrated into the event program, allowing for a more in-depth exploration of topics and tailoring the presentations to audience needs.
