The Art of Innovation

The Art of Innovation

The fifth Eurasian Forum will be held in Verona, Italy on 20–21 October 2016, under the slogan ‘The Art of Innovation’. The Forum is being jointly organized by the Italian Conoscere Eurasia Association and the Roscongress Foundation.

“This year’s Forum will focus on innovation in its broadest sense”, says the event’s founder, President of the Conoscere Eurasia Association Antonio Fallico. “Innovations in the field of science and technology pave the way for economic development. Innovative solutions are required if we want to overcome the global crisis. Innovation helps businesses to adapt to new realities through being creative. Easing geopolitical tensions also requires an innovative approach to the problems which stand in the way of the development of regions, countries, and civil society. At the fifth Eurasian Forum in Verona, participants will try to contribute to technological, economic, and political innovation across greater Eurasia, which is in everyone’s best interests.”

“This is the third year that the Roscongress Foundation has helped to organize the Eurasian Forum. The event in Verona is a great platform for discussion. It promotes international cooperation across various sectors of the economy and throughout Eurasia. Through holding joint events like this, we are strengthening international partnerships and supporting the initiatives being proposed”, says Roscongress Foundation CEO Alexander Stuglev.

The event will be divided into two thematic sections: ‘Geopolitical processes in Greater Eurasia, 2016’ and ‘Innovations as everyday creativity’. Within this framework, participants will discuss key issues in economics, finance, energy, geopolitics, innovative infrastructure, agriculture, and agribusiness. Particular attention will be paid to new models of economic cooperation in the context of global crisis, as well as to interregional cooperation.

The Forum will be attended by state officials, business leaders, political and public figures, diplomats, experts, and journalists from Armenia, Belarus, China, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, South Korea, and other countries.

Two memoranda of cooperation have been signed; the first in January 2015 between the Conoscere Eurasia Association and the Roscongress Foundation, and the second in April 2016 between representatives of organizations from Russia, France, Germany, and Italy. The agreements seek to promote international economic cooperation and the concept of European integration. The Roscongress Foundation is working towards these same goals through the events it organizes, including the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), and the Eurasian Forum.
