Anton Kobyakov, adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and executive secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee, emphasized Russia's growing role in the global economy. \"The unprecedented interest from foreign partners and the media shows that the Russian market and, in general, Russia's economic model of development and consolidation, against the backdrop of serious restrictions and pressure from the collective West, has shown its competitiveness. Multinational and multicultural, value-oriented Russia is becoming one of the growth centers of the emerging multipolar world,\" Kobyakov stated.
As SPIEF 2024 approaches, businesses, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders are eagerly anticipating the opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and drive economic growth on a global scale. The forum promises to be a pivotal event for shaping the economic landscapes of the future.
