The forum participants will focus on the integration of the Far Eastern regions into the global economy through the introduction of innovative technologies and the modernization of various industries.
Special attention will be paid to technological transformation — sessions will be devoted to automation of production processes, practical application of artificial intelligence and other promising areas of technological progress. A separate track of the forum will be devoted to the transformation of the urban environment and the development of infrastructure, which is especially important for improving the quality of life in the regions of the Far East.
An important place in the program will be occupied by the topic of public-private partnership, where participants will discuss new formats of interaction between business and government.
