On June 29, 2022, as part of a press conference at TASS, the concept of holding the International Construction Championship, which will be held in Kazan on October 5–8, was presented. In 2022, the championship joined the line of projects of the "Russia - Land of Opportunities" platform, becoming an important event in the framework of the implementation of new development strategies in modern conditions.
Today, the demand for highly qualified craftsmen in the construction industry is steadily growing.

Half of the Russians surveyed are considering working in this industry. For the implementation of large-scale tasks in the construction industry, professional personnel are needed.
