An expert of the "Inventing the Future" Symposium, Editor-in-Chief of Foresight magazine and Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Dubai, Ozcan Saritas, shared his impressions of the National Centre RUSSIA.

"I visited the expositions and I really liked them. Here you can not only see the future — you can feel it, touch it, understand it. All five senses are engaged here," said Ozcan Saritas.

The expert described the expositions as magnificent and emphasised their uniqueness. According to him, this is an amazing way to make the future tangible and to allow people to experience it today.

"This is part of our life, and we are inspired by the development of technology. We are talking about digitalisation, artificial intelligence, genomic research, and quantum computing. But all this is not just about technology — it is a way to change our lives and create a new future," added Ozcan Saritas.

The II International Symposium "Inventing the Future" was held at the National Centre RUSSIA on 7–8 October, bringing together more than 7,000 participants from 86 countries.
