Russian Creative Week – Siberia festival-forum announces launch of AI development centre

Experts from different regions of Russia discussed the prospects for the development of the creative economy

The fourth regional festival-forum "Russian Creative Week – Siberia" ended in Krasnoyarsk. The event brought together more than 120 speakers, and the business programme included about 40 different thematic discussions, lectures, master classes and foresight sessions. TV BRICS acted as the international media partner of the forum.

At the meeting, Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Mikhail Kotyukov stressed the importance of creative industries for economic development: their contribution to the gross regional product is currently 2.9 per cent, and it is planned to double this figure by 2030. According to him, their total turnover has exceeded 70 billion rubles (US$672 million), and the number of people employed in this sphere – more than 20 thousand people.

The key events of the forum were foresight sessions, where representatives of federal and regional authorities, business and experts from all over the country discussed the introduction of value guidelines in the development strategy of creative industries and the creation of a "map" of a comfortable city in Siberia.

In addition, the launch of an artificial intelligence development centre in Krasnoyarsk was announced at the meeting. This project will become part of the region's emerging scientific and educational cluster.

During the discussions, the experts touched upon a wide range of creative economy sectors: from media, animation and video games to industrial design, tourism and architecture. The central topic was the development of human resources. The participants noted that the creation of creative clusters and spaces could be a solution to attract young professionals to Siberia.

"This year the forum was held in an updated format: maximum practice for regional teams, a lot of group work, strategic and foresight sessions. The task we set for ourselves is to saturate managers in the creative industries with cases and proposals for the implementation of strategies for the development of creative economy in the subjects," said the Director of the festival-forum, president of the autonomous non-commercial organisation “Creative Economy” Marina Mongush (Abramova).

The organisers of "Russian Creative Week – Siberia" are ANO "Creative Economy" and ANO "Siberian Institute for the Development of Creative Industries". The festival-forum is designed to build an effective dialogue between the state and business.

Kazakhstan regards Thailand as key partner for expanding cooperation with ASEAN countries

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"
