“Human capital development, the unlocking of youth potential, and the creation of opportunities for professional self-realization are among the national development priorities of the Russian Federation through 2030, as defined by the President. In this context, the Day of the Future SPIEF International Youth Day serves as an important platform where practical solutions are formed to prepare a new generation of leaders capable of ensuring technological advancement and sustainable economic growth of the country,” said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee.
The Forum is structured around key thematic tracks that reflect the emerging global agenda. These include the new economy and entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence and advanced technologies, media and communications, workforce policy amid digital transformation, as well as international cooperation.
A strong focus is placed on practice-oriented formats. Participants will be offered to engage in business games, open dialogues with representatives of government and business, and interactive sessions designed not only for discussion but also for the practical development of real economic solutions.
The programme addresses issues closely linked to the future of the global economy and society, including human capital development, building trust in the digital environment, the role of youth in transforming business models, as well as new approaches to education and professional self-realization.
The Day of the Future SPIEF International Youth Day traditionally serves as a key youth platform of the SPIEF, bringing together students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and experts from Russia and abroad to jointly contribute to the future-oriented agenda.
