How the world will change in an era of global transformation: the National Centre RUSSIA invites experts to the January Expert Dialogues

The Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" is launching the January Expert Dialogues. This will be the first event of its kind and will be held on 30 January at the National Centre RUSSIA. The key speaker of the programme will be Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia, Maxim Oreshkin. He will present a report on global megatrends shaping the era of global transformation.

Prominent international experts — leading specialists and visionaries of the global economy — have been invited to take part. Dialogue with them will make it possible to discuss and analyse key aspects of the new financial reality.

In addition, the January Expert Dialogues will address a number of critical questions: "Can sovereignty be a factor in the economy?", "What is driving changes in the business models of financial institutions?", and "How does the technological transition reshape the architecture of the labour market and, as a result, an individual’s life path?"

The Open Dialogue was launched in April 2025 and has already brought together a wide range of experts and idea authors. Their number has exceeded 3,000 people from more than 100 countries around the world. The application campaign for participation in the Second Open Dialogue is currently in full swing. By decision of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, the Open Dialogue has become an annual event and will traditionally be held in April 2026.
