Expert from the UAE to present a new perspective on human capital in the economy of the future at the National Centre RUSSIA

Selina Neri (UAE), Co-Founder and Rector of the Future Readiness Academy and a Visiting Professor at the Skolkovo School of Management, will take part in the January Expert Dialogues on 30 January at the National Centre RUSSIA. According to her, unlocking new pathways to global economic growth and shared prosperity requires a joint search for, creation and implementation of breakthrough ideas — including through a focus on realising human potential in the economy of the future.

"In my address, I will focus on the development of human potential and investment in human capital, and on how people can fully realise themselves in the new world of work," Selina Neri shared.

The January Expert Dialogues are the first key event of 2026 held as part of the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth". The Open Dialogue was held for the first time in April 2025, bringing together more than 3,000 experts from dozens of countries. The National Centre RUSSIA’s partner in organising the event is the Intersectoral Expertise Centre "Third Rome". By decision of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, the Open Dialogue will be held annually.

The programme of the January Expert Dialogues focuses on the key challenges and megatrends shaping the economy of the future, including finance, demography, technology and the labour market. The keynote speaker will be Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation, Maxim Oreshkin.
