Short biography
Andrei's main area of expertize is Business in China. With focus on technology transfer.

Experience of working with China began in 2001 with export-import operations. In 2006 Andrei moved to China and firstly reside permanently in Shandong province.
Andrei was born on November 10, 1980 in and grew up in Vladivostok city in Far East of Russia. Studied international relations of the Asia Pacific countries in FESU (now FEFU) and Shandong University of Business and Technology. Have a diploma from the Institute of Standardisation in the field of Internal Audit.

Have experience in technology scouting & transfer, commercialisation of innovations, intellectual property strategy, export-import operations and marketing in China.

Andrei's family have been doing business between China and Russia for five generations. The first trade deals with China in the Prokhorovich family were started by my great-great-grandfather in Russian Empire in 1880's, his great-grandfather and grandfather also traded with China. In the early 1990s the tradition was continued by father, and in the 2000's by Andrei.

In 2012 Andrei founded the company Eurasia Development Limited, which mainly specialises in consulting in the field of innovation and technology transfer between China, Russia and other countries. The company helps foreign high-tech companies and startups to enter the Chinese market, and in order to not play 'one way', we also worked out mechanisms and tools for the entrance of companies from China in the foreign markets.

The company is proud to be a partner and consultant to such organizations as RVC, the Silk Road Association of High and New Technology Zones, Russian-Chinese innovative Technopark, , the Association of Technoparks and Clusters of the Russian Federation, the SCO Business Club, FEFU, DGTU, SUSU, STROGINO Technopark, and many others.

We supported the localization of a number of companies from Russia and CIS countries in the Chinese market, some of them have attracted Chinese investments. We signed a strategically important contract between the Russian national research universities (FEFU, DSTU, SUSU) and technoparks (Sarov, MSU, Strogino, etc.), and Chinese governmental and private organizations. We established joint ventures in China.

In 2015 I became a strategic partner of Dodo Pizza and began to localize this project in China.
