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.
