WEF-2025: Figures of Success and the Future Strategy of the Far East

From September 3 to 6, the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University became a hub for key players in the Russian and global economies. The WEF venue brought together representatives of federal and regional authorities, business leaders from Russia and abroad, as well as leading experts to discuss pressing development issues. The main theme of the forum was "The Far East — Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity".

This year, the WEF served not only as a platform for discussions but also as a venue for summarizing the decade-long work on the development of the Far East. As noted by Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the Preparation and Holding of the WEF, all instructions from the country's President Vladimir Putin, aimed at the benefit of the region and all of Russia, will be fulfilled. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of in-demand social programs, creating incentives for the economy, and attracting investments.

The figures speak for themselves:

• Scale: Over 8,000 participants from 75 countries.
• Media Coverage: 1,418 media representatives, including those from 9 foreign countries.
• Business Activity: More than 165 business events, resulting in the signing of 358 agreements, contracts, memoranda, and roadmaps.
