The first federal forum of creative industries ArtMasters has started its work in Moscow

The first federal forum of creative industry professionals ArtMasters opened on April 3 in Zaryadye Park in Moscow. It will take place over three days.

As part of the business program, the largest players in the media market, content producers and representatives of creative professions will discuss their contribution to the economy. In the modern world, it is not only the art sector that needs creative workers, so one of the pressing issues is personnel.

According to Ekaterina Kharchenko, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education, 40% of people with creative thinking are needed in jobs that have already been created.

"And in the industries being created, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, the aviation industry, the IT sector, and the industry related to artificial intelligence, 70% of people who have creative thinking are needed," Kharchenko said.

Representatives from all regions of Russia have arrived at ArtMasters. For young participants, the forum is a chance to exchange experiences, find useful contacts and learn new things from professionals. The list of speakers includes composer Igor Matvienko, director Karen Shakhnazarov, actor Vladimir Mashkov and others.

In December 2024, the international forum "Industry of Modern Times" was held in the Lomonosov cluster of the Innovative Scientific and Technological Center of the Lomonosov Moscow State University "Vorobyovy Gory", which attracted more than a thousand companies and 70 speakers. The event became a single platform for dialogue between government and business, discussion of national projects and high-tech products in the field of artificial intelligence for industry. The forum was attended by 2 thousand guests, and another 18 thousand followed the broadcast of the event online.
