From October 29 to 31, St. Petersburg hosted the IMBRICS Forum, bringing together leading representatives of municipalities and businesses from more than 70 countries. This year’s event was unprecedented, as it was held jointly with the Russian Industrialist exhibition — combining the needs of cities with the capabilities of industry.

Participants shared experiences and development strategies, explored industrial solutions for smart cities, housing and utilities, and environmental management. The forum became a platform for direct networking between municipalities and industrial enterprises.

The IMBRICS Forum showcased how collaboration between municipalities and industrial innovators can create a prosperous future.
