"The centre that unites the world": participants of the BRICS Women’s Entrepreneurship Forum on the National Centre RUSSIA
The II BRICS Women's Entrepreneurship Forum, held in the heart of the country — the National Centre RUSSIA — became a landmark event, bringing together over 1,400 delegates from 56 countries. This large-scale event took place in a unique venue that has already become a symbol of our country — open, technologically advanced, preserving its traditions, and confidently looking to the future.
Within the walls of Russia's main cultural and business platform, speakers discussed BRICS cooperation with the countries of the Middle East, North Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the development of an inclusive environment for women's entrepreneurship, exchange of experience, and support for the creative industries.
The uniqueness of the National Centre RUSSIA was highlighted by Aida Ismail, Regional Sales Director for Hadid International Services in Asia:
"This is an incredible place of power where the future is born today. Within these walls, filled with the spirit of Russian traditions and innovation, one feels the strength of our shared multilateral diplomacy. I believe every country should have such a centre — a space of meaning where people from all over the world can meet and where international-level events can take place. It is truly a landmark site for the country, embodying the strength of Russian culture and openness to the world"
The BRICS Women's Entrepreneurship Forum at the National Centre RUSSIA offered participants a unique opportunity to see modern Russia from a new perspective, said Teverai Chigogo, Head of the Regional Office of the BRICS Women's Business Alliance in Zimbabwe.
"When I arrived in Russia, I felt that special sense of calmness, kindness and warmth that comes from the heart of this great country. The National Centre RUSSIA is more than just a building; it is the embodiment of the country's mission to speak to the world in the language of culture and cooperation — a symbol of Russia's soft power. It is vast, very beautiful, with flawless organisation. The hospitality here is at the highest level," Teverai Chigogo said with admiration.
International meetings at the National Centre RUSSIA allow experts from various fields not only to establish professional connections, but also to jointly shape a vision of a multipolar world, believes forum participant Linda Tzizi Mutemaringa, representing Zimbabwe.
"Such forums allow us to make our voices heard globally and to feel part of a great movement toward a just multipolar world. In Africa, we have enormous potential, but often we lack a platform where we can be heard. And here, in the space of the National Centre RUSSIA, we find new opportunities for growth and partnership," noted Linda Tzizi Mutemaringa.
In addition to BRICS countries and their partners, the second BRICS Women's Entrepreneurship Forum at the National Centre RUSSIA brought together business representatives from all continents — from the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the CIS.
The National Centre RUSSIA once again became a place where culture serves as a language of international understanding, and where tradition and innovation create the harmony of the future. Each event at the National Centre RUSSIA is a step towards the future, where every country and every culture finds its rightful voice in the global dialogue.
