There are 20 days left before the start of the "Russian Creative Week"

From September 25 to 27, Moscow will host the VI Federal Forum-festival "Russian Creative Week", a key event in the field of the creative economy. The large-scale program, which is available on the official website of the Forum, confirms that the creative industries are becoming the new economy of Russia.

"Russian Creative Week" is a new agenda and trends for several years ahead for the entire creative industry of the country. The focus is on three strategic areas: a value—based economy - 2035, the spatial development of the country and regions in the era of a new type of economy, as well as the role of a creative person in shaping new economic models. In the structural blocks for each vector, the participants will discuss legislative initiatives, management models, investment tools, new leadership ethics and the transformation of professions.

The main event will be the plenary session "The Visionary State: a New Philosophy of Intellectual and Creative Leadership in Russia", which will be held on September 25 at the Visionaries site of the Rossiya National Center. The participants will discuss a strategy for developing a creative economy based on traditional values, multipolarity and an innovative approach. Special attention will be paid to the role of creative industries in shaping a new quality of life, unlocking the potential of the regions and creating directions for the development of a harmonious society of the future.

The structure of the three-day business program of the Forum focuses on the key topics of the creative economy. At the same time, each track will open with its own plenary session.

The first thematic vector — "Value—based economy and its future — 2035" - is devoted to the role of the state in the formation of sustainable ties, the development of international cooperation in creative industries, and support mechanisms. This area will be especially useful for government officials, businesses, and experts interested in effective collaboration between the creative and manufacturing sectors, as well as in using digital technologies to modernize industries. The main issues will be discussed at the plenary session "A developed creative economy is the basis for achieving Russia's national goals."

As part of other events of the block, participants will touch upon the topics of integrated regional production, value-based approaches in regional strategies, and the development of creative economies for the SCO, BRICS, and CIS countries. They will also discuss the global role of design as one of the elements of state competitiveness, and value-based content will be considered as a promising niche for managers.

The second block of the Forum, "Spatial development of the country and regions for a new type of economy", is dedicated to changes in architecture, public spaces, transport, infrastructure and human resources in the context of the growth of the creative economy. Representatives of regional authorities and businesses, experts in urbanism, architecture and other fields will focus on the transformation of industrial cities, the prospects for small settlements, rural renewal through creative industries, as well as new models of regional governance and development.

The key event will be the plenary session "New methods of development of territories and cities in the era of the creative economy."

The third thematic vector of the business program is "The creative person as the basis of the economy of the future." The discussions will focus on modern approaches to children's and family content, the evolution of the profession of an influencer in digital media, the influence of music on the worldview of young people, and other issues. The main event is the plenary session "Human Education in the age of AI: potential for the development of the creative economy of the future."

A special place in the program is occupied by the Day of Creative Entrepreneurship — an interesting and important event for active, mobile and talented people, whose ideas, technologies, culture and aesthetics can influence the life of a modern city, region and the country as a whole.

"This year's Russian Creative Week will be held for the sixth time. In five years, it has become a real initiator of transformations and the main platform in the country that broadcasts the agenda of the creative industries. Today we are not just summarizing the results of the "creative five—year plan" - we are entering a new cycle, moving from discussing opportunities to systematic work. Creative industries are becoming a center of attraction, helping to shape national identity and value base for the development of the country. This is the way to increase competitiveness. It is important that the new stage of the formation of the Russian Creative Week coincided with the start of the implementation of state policy in the field of creative industries, which will allow the creative economy to move forward, relying on support measures and effective legislative initiatives," says Marina Mongush, President of ANO Creative Economy, Director of the Russian Creative Week Forum-Festival.
