From June 18 to 21, 2025, St. Petersburg will once again host the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), organized by the Roscongress Foundation. The forum traditionally brings together leading politicians, experts, and business leaders from around the world to discuss pressing issues in the global economy and sustainable development.

   The main theme of SPIEF 2025, "Shared Values as a Foundation for Growth in a Multipolar World," highlights Russia’s ambition to play an active role in the evolving global landscape. Amid geopolitical and economic turbulence, the forum serves as a platform for exchanging ideas and developing practical solutions to help the global economy adapt to new realities.

   Delegations from over 140 countries and territories, including BRICS members, are expected to attend. In 2024, SPIEF attracted nearly 22,000 participants from 139 countries and saw the signing of over 1,000 agreements worth more than 6.4 trillion rubles. This underscores the forum's growing role as a key venue for international cooperation.

   SPIEF 2025 comes at a time of significant global challenges — from rapid digital transformation to climate change. The forum aims to generate practical solutions in these areas. The active involvement of BRICS countries, with Russia holding the chairmanship in 2024, is expected to further strengthen cooperation and support infrastructure and sustainability initiatives.

   SPIEF 2025 will address a wide range of issues, including:

- The impact of digital technology on business processes;

- Climate change adaptation and the transition to a green economy;

- Strengthening international cooperation in a multipolar world.

   Participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, discuss major challenges, and develop joint strategies for sustainable global development.

   The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2025 reaffirms the city’s role as a significant hub for international economic dialogue. The forum provides unique opportunities for building partnerships, addressing global challenges, and advancing Russia’s presence on the world stage.
