On June 29, Vladimir Putin will take part in the plenary session of the forum Strong Ideas for a New Time, organised by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives for Promoting New Projects, an autonomous non-profit organisation, and Roscongress Foundation.
During the session, the President will be shown ideas and projects that have received the strongest endorsement from experts.
All the proposals have been divided into three categories: digital and technological development, social issues, and the economy and entrepreneurship. They will be presented by ASI Director General Svetlana Chupsheva, Director of the ASI Young Professionals Department and Special Presidential Representative for Digital and Technological Development Dmitry Peskov and Chairman of VEB.RF and Chair of the ASI Expert Council Igor Shuvalov.
This year’s forum features a new aspect, specifically, a competition of Russian brands, held on the instruction of the President of Russia. The competition aims to show the diversity of Russian products and services and to set up a systemic mechanism for their support at the level of the Russian Government, regions and development institutions.
Ahead of the plenary session, Vladimir Putin will tour an exhibition of brands that won awards in the competition.
