The WEF-2025 business program has been published

The official website has published the business program of the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held in Vladivostok on September 3-6. The main theme is "The Far East: cooperation for peace and prosperity." The WEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.

"The Eastern Economic Forum has become one of the most effective tools for advancing the socio-economic development of the Far East. The most pressing issues of attracting investments, creating new enterprises and projects, stimulating various sectors of the economy, improving social infrastructure and improving the quality of life of the Far East are being discussed on the sidelines of the Forum. Thanks to the investment agreements concluded, new high-tech enterprises have already been built and are still being created in the Far East, and high-paying jobs are being created. The implementation of master plans for Far Eastern cities, carried out on behalf of the President of Russia, plays an important role for the Far East. In fact, this is a historic chance to transform urban spaces and change the living conditions of residents of the Far East. Among the important topics of this year are the discussion of technological development and technology attraction, the growing energy needs in the Far East, and many others. It is worth noting that the WEF has become a platform for strengthening cultural and economic ties with countries friendly to Russia. We are open to cooperation with those who are willing to work on mutually beneficial partnership terms," said Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum.

The business program will include about 90 thematic sessions divided into seven thematic blocks: "The Far East – a territory for life and development", "Recipes for growth: investment, innovation, integration", "Openness and mutually beneficial partnership – the basis of stability", "Technology: from theory to economic effects", "Cities – for human life", "Arteries of growth: how logistics is changing the economy" and "In partnership between business and government: a major reassembly."

"The future of the multipolar world is now being shaped in the East. Russia is actively involved in these processes, consistently strengthening its position in the Asia-Pacific region. A key element of the prosperity strategy is the integrated development of the Far East, a territory that is becoming not only Russia's gateway to the Asia–Pacific region, but also an important center of economic growth. The region's unique preferential treatment, large-scale infrastructure projects, and systemic business support measures are already making it attractive for investment and innovation. The Eastern Economic Forum plays a special role in this process. Over the past ten years, the forum has become the main platform for building long–term partnerships with leading Asian countries. The program of the jubilee WEF gives priority to key areas of sustainable development: technological sovereignty, training personnel for new industries, creating a comfortable urban environment, integrating technology into economic processes, and developing public-private partnerships. I am convinced that the decisions developed at the Forum will become the basis for concrete actions that will strengthen Russia's position as one of the centers of the new economy. The Far East is a territory of opportunity, and its development is a strategic contribution to the future of the entire country in the emerging multipolar world," said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the WEF Organizing Committee.

The socio–economic development of the macroregion and the creation of conditions for sustainable growth will be discussed within the framework of the track "The Far East - a territory for life and development".
