2020: Agreement with the National PPP Center in terms of transport risk analysis and transport modeling

SIMETRA and the National PPP Center, a competence center in the field of public-private partnership, have entered into a strategic partnership agreement. SIMETRA became a partner of the National PPP Center in terms of transport risk analysis and transport modeling. This became known on September 30, 2020.

Within the framework of cooperation, SIMETRA experts will assist the most socially significant infrastructure development projects located on the ROSINFRA digital platform, which involve public-private and municipal-private partnership mechanisms (PPP and MFP). The company's specialists will be involved in blitz assessment of project initiatives, and will also work in expert groups to discuss projects before their presentation to potential investors.

{{quote 'The use of PPP tools in the transport industry can be called one of the components of its economic development. We are confident that we are making the right decision by signing a cooperation agreement with SIMETRA. The use of modeling tools in public-private partnership projects helps to assess effects and risks, which increases the investment attractiveness of such projects in general, "said Pavel Seleznev, General Director of the National PPP Center. }}

Infrastructure projects involve attracting long-term investments, and therefore the need to argue the amount of costs to investors. By September 2020, the Russian Federation had accumulated significant PPP experience in the field of transport. The serious role assigned to public-private partnership projects in the Transport Strategy of Russia until 2030 also helps to develop them. Therefore, we are confident that our strategic partnership with the National PPP Center will help develop transport infrastructure for the benefit of the whole country, "said Vladimir Shvetsov, CEO of SIMETRA.

Since 2010, SIMETRA has been participating in the preparation of a feasibility study of the largest infrastructure projects with the participation of private investors in the Russian Federation.

Renaming to Simetra

A + C Transproekt announced a full rebranding on November 19, 2019, which includes a change in the company's name, logo, slogan and corporate style. From November 2019, the company will continue to operate in the market under the name Simetra. This brand of the company will emphasize the key competence of A + C Transproekt in the field of transport modeling and forecasting of transport flows (from the English Simulation in Transport).

The change of commercial name occurred as part of the strategic development of the company and is due, among other things, to plans for active growth in the international market. The rebranding does not imply a change in the legal entity and will not affect the company's fulfillment of current obligations to partners and customers, emphasized in A + C Transproekt.

The company's business has changed significantly over 15 years, and our internal changes have logically led to external changes. We were looking for a name that could express our key competence and the style of our work. The SIMETRA name reflects the three fundamentals of our business. Firstly, our long-term expertise in the field of modeling transport flows and the supply of relevant software products, around which other areas are built, including the development of our own industry software. Secondly, our ambitions to expand our business beyond Russia: as of November 2019, we already have a portfolio of successful international cases. Thirdly, the updated name corresponds to the style and philosophy of the company: we are confident that we are able to create transport projects that not only work effectively, but also bring beauty and harmony to people's lives, "said Vladimir Shvetsov, CEO of Simetra.

In general, the rebranding was another step in the company's development strategy, adopted until 2023.
