"I am looking forward to the Open Dialogue": essayist Alexander Gorbik to present his ideas at the National Centre RUSSIA

This year, 104 authors from 43 countries advanced to the in-person stage of the Open Dialogue following interviews. Among them is Russian essayist Alexander Gorbik, an expert in crisis management and territorial development. On 28 and 29 April at the National Centre RUSSIA, he will share his personal vision of what lies ahead for his compatriots at a new stage of economic development and the evolution of living environments.

"Logistics within the country is changing faster than a new smartphone model is released, while artificial intelligence is helping to automate processes. Ahead lies a stage of maximum efficiency of the economy and human potential, necessary to withstand this turbulent world. New logistics, principles of population consolidation and the unlocking of the younger generation’s potential should become key guidelines for the country’s development. And I am looking forward to the Open Dialogue," said Alexander Gorbik.

One of the key international events of the year — the II Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" — will take place at the National Centre RUSSIA from 27 to 29 April. The large-scale three-day programme will bring together expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from across the globe and informal networking.

The initiative is implemented by the National Centre RUSSIA in partnership with the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise "Third Rome", with the support of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia. Registration for the II Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" is open until 26 April.
