The Roscongress Foundation is a socially oriented non-financial development institution and a major organizer of nationwide and international conventions; exhibitions; and business, public, youth, sporting, and cultural events. It was established in pursuance of a decision by the President of the Russian Federation.

The Foundation was established in 2007 with the aim of facilitating the development of Russia’s economic potential, promoting its national interests, and strengthening the country’s image. One of the roles of the Foundation is to comprehensively evaluate, analyse, and cover issues on the Russian and global economic agendas. It also offers administrative services, provides promotional support for business projects and attracting investment, helps foster social entrepreneurship and charitable initiatives.

Each year, the Foundation’s events draw participants from 209 countries and territories, with more than 15,000 media representatives working on-site at Roscongress’ various venues. The Foundation benefits from analytical and professional expertise provided by 5,000 people working in Russia and abroad.

The Foundation works alongside various UN departments and other international organizations, and is building multi-format cooperation with 212 economic partners, including industrialists’ and entrepreneurs’ unions, financial, trade, and business associations from 86 countries worldwide, and 293 Russian public organizations, federal and regional executive and legislative bodies of the Russian Federation.

Hydrocarbons in the Energy of the Future: Using Them Without Damaging the Climate

Manege, –2nd floor, conference hall B
Carbon neutrality is a new goal of the global energy community. For decades, hydrocarbons have served as a reliable tool for the development of the global economy, however irreversible climate change is dictating the need to change our approach to the use of fossil fuels, which will entail significant growth in the market for low-carbon and clean energy sources. The novelty of these technologies is creating major uncertainty in the economic assessment of their usage, while the projected investment needed to implement the energy transition is beyond the capabilities of the world economy. For most developing nations, such investments would be impossible without external subsidies. The burgeoning energy transition must not run counter to the key goals of socioeconomic development or hinder the achievement of the seventh UN Sustainable Development Goal to ensure access to affordable energy for all. This contradiction means that the global community must ensure the creation and subsequent sustainable development of an eco-friendly and neutral fuel and energy industry without harming economic development. How can we find a balance between climate goals and the economy when structuring the fuel and energy industry? Are low-carbon technologies an effective tool for ensuring energy security? What prospects does Russia and the world have for the long-term development of the fuel and energy industry during the energy transition?
