The program of the International Youth Economic Forum "Day of the Future" has been published

On June 21, 2025, the International Youth Economic Forum "Day of the Future" will be held as part of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

"Supporting talented youth is an investment in the future of our country. The Day of the Future Forum creates a unique platform where young leaders can not only acquire knowledge and skills, but also make a real contribution to solving global challenges," said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee.

The forum brings together key topics reflecting the challenges of our time and aimed at supporting talented youth. Participants will find interactive formats that promote the development of skills and ideas. The focus is on entrepreneurship: The "30 questions for a billionaire" session will allow you to ask questions to well-known business leaders, and the mentor lounge "Business does not sleep: 360 reviews" and the entrepreneurial marathon will provide an opportunity to present your projects to experts, get valuable recommendations and hone your skills in solving real business cases.

Technology and innovation will occupy a special place in the program. Sessions on technological leadership, biotechnology, and the space industry will reveal how new technologies are shaping the future. A scientific reboot in the sciencepop format will explain the principles of quantum technologies, artificial intelligence and cloud computing in an accessible way, inspiring innovation in everyday life.

Education and training will be important topics of discussion. Discussions on the interaction of universities, business and the state will emphasize the need for practice-oriented training to overcome the shortage of personnel in the digital economy and foreign economic activity. Special attention will be paid to media and communications: The Media Future session and discussion of media sports will show how young people are rewriting the rules of the information environment and popularizing sports through digital platforms.

The financial sector is also in focus: the session "Finance of the Future: Like, Share, Profit" will examine how digital technologies are transforming the economy and what competencies are needed for success. Branding and leadership issues will reveal the secrets of building a strong reputation and unique approaches to leadership, including the contribution of women entrepreneurs to the economy. International cooperation will be represented by a business game based on the model of the Eurasian Economic Union, where participants will propose solutions to strengthen the business climate and regulate AI.

The Day of the Future will become a platform for sharing experiences, inspiration and finding solutions that will determine the economic and technological tomorrow.

The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will be held from June 18 to 21, 2025.
