The results of the work of the Roscongress International Business Communication Zone at SPIEF 2025 have been summed up

For the first time, the Roscongress International Business Communication Zone was organized at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which became a unified communication space for dialogue between representatives of government and public structures, business circles, expert communities of Russia and foreign countries, as well as international organizations and integration associations.

"The format implemented at Roscongress International has become a logical development of the Foundation's international activities and a response to the growing demand for multilateral dialogue, especially in the context of the formation of a new architecture of global interaction. We expect this format to become a permanent part of the SPIEF and to scale to other international venues in the future," said Alexander Stuglev, Chairman of the Management Board and Director of the Roscongress Foundation.

"Congratulations to the Roscongress Foundation team on the launch of the Roscongress International Cooperation Zone. At the opening ceremony, we talked about how important it is to establish personal connections, meet new people, and communicate in person. The Roscongress International International Cooperation Zone will become a real window for such interaction. This year, we held a joint forum in Jakarta with the Roscongress Foundation under the Roscongress International brand. KADIN is now represented in the Roscongress International Cooperation Zone at the SPIEF.
