The Three Pillars of the Reset of the World System: Science, Business and Culture
(Conference room)

Today, both Russia and the wider world are witnessing an era of transformation affecting a wide array of fields, from politics and economics to science and culture. We are witnessing a shift from a unipolar system to a multipolar reality. In this process of global evolution, Russia is emerging as one of the key players on the world stage. Together with its partners in BRICS, the SCO, ASEAN, and the EAEU, our country is actively contributing to the reshaping of the world system, drawing upon the universal values accumulated by humanity over many centuries.

In the current geopolitical context of economic development, the triune model of interaction among science, business, and culture is of paramount importance. Their synergistic partnership can provide an unshakable foundation for fostering an innovative mindset within society and spurring the nation’s economic growth. The cultivation of innovative mindset is now a pivotal factor in the renewal of the Russian economy. Furthermore, in an era defined by globalization and digitalization of the economy, the integration of science, business, and culture within international cooperation frameworks is especially critical. Achieving technological independence and ensuring sustainable economic growth are only possible through the establishment of an effective system of interaction among science, business, and culture. This requires not only financial investment but also the cultivation of a new culture of innovative development within society.

How can the alliance of science, business, and culture foster the development of a country’s economy? In what ways can cultural and media components influence the formation of shared values and approaches necessary for achieving technological leadership? How can international experience enrich the national model of innovation development? Beyond the universally recognized priority sectors, which specific areas hold the greatest potential for a synergistic breakthrough through the integration of scientific, business, and cultural expertise?
