The International Conference on Creative Economy has kicked off in St. Petersburg, Russia, bringing together more than 1,500 experts, entrepreneurs, and officials from more than 30 nations, including BRICS member states.
During the two-day event, the participants of the forum, organized by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) and the authorities of St. Petersburg, will discuss the impact of creative industries on the economy and society, while forming new partnerships.
The main topics include protecting intellectual property, the development of cities, improving the education system, and international cooperation in promoting creative industries.
The program of the conference includes around 50 events, including open dialogue, round tables, workshops, and presentations of projects.
‘The Creative Economy of Russia. Horizon 2050' joint plenary session is the main highlight of the conference and the ‘Creative Code. Russia’ forum.
Discussions will focus on how creative industries are becoming a key resource for sustainable growth and a driver of new cooperation formats between nations, with an emphasis on the strategies that countries have adopted to develop this dynamic sector.
“The central theme will be the search for the most relevant forms of inter-country cooperation and the role of states in supporting the industry. Experts, business representatives and government officials will also look into the issues of creating the most effective formats of interaction, regulatory regulation, and creating conditions in which human capital becomes the main driver of economic growth,” ASI’s press service said.
