Open Dialogue on the future of global economy concludes at the National Centre RUSSIA
The National Centre RUSSIA in Moscow has concluded the Open Dialogue on the future of the global economy. The final session of the 'Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth' open dialogue took place at the National Centre RUSSIA. Participants summed up the results of this large-scale event and emphasized its uniqueness and significance for the international community. 'The main thing is this: regardless of people's views, beliefs, or ideas – everyone has the opportunity to be heard. This became a key aspect of the open dialogue. Because very often, the ideas that initially seem controversial or premature turn out, in time, to be the ideas of the future,' said Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, Maxim Oreshkin. The open dialogue began on April 28 and over the course of three days welcomed more than 100 guests from 48 countries. These included leading think tank experts, development institute members, youth organizations, as well as representatives from government and the business community. As part of the event preparations, the organizers held an essay competition. Participants were invited to share their vision of how long-term global changes might impact people's lives and well-being. Authors from over 100 countries submitted around 700 essays, which were compiled into a collection summarizing the outcomes of the open dialogue. 'This collection features bold ideas, vivid thoughts, and a fresh perspective on the future of the global economy... I am confident it will inspire thousands of people around the world to take their own steps toward change,' said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA. At the request of essayists and experts, it was decided to make the open dialogue an annual event. Moreover, the project is expected to expand significantly by 2026.

Nearly 700 essays from around the world have been unveiled in Moscow ahead of a major global forum on the future economy, with authors sharing bold ideas for shaping a better world. Moscow hosted a presentation on Thursday of essays submitted for a contest which is part of the upcoming Open Dialogue: 'The Future of the World: New Platform for Global Growth'. The event, scheduled for April 28-30, will bring global experts to the Russian capital to explore what lies ahead for the world economy and society. The National Centre RUSSIA, which organized the contest, received nearly 700 submissions from 102 countries. The countries with the most active participants included Mexico, India, China, Oman, Italy, Egypt, Vietnam, Türkiye, Colombia, Canada, and France, according to the organizers. The essays, now compiled into four volumes, center on four themes: Investments in people, Technology, Environment, and Communication. The organizers say the goal is to identify breakthrough ideas that could inform future economic planning. 'Soon, there will be 10 billion of us on the planet, and we must decide what to do about electricity and environment in the future,' Gerald Sakuler, the president of the Austrian Business Club in Russia, said. 'There are many ideas. Every proposal will be heard.' Thursday's presentation brought together experts, contributors, and organizers to discuss highlights from the submissions and exchange ideas ahead of the main forum. The upcoming Open Dialogue forum will gather representatives from think tanks, government agencies, universities, development organizations, media, and youth groups to debate strategies for global development. The full event program is available in Russian, English, Chinese, Arabic, and Portuguese on the National Centre RUSSIA website.
