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.

The Roscongress Foundation has Telegram channels in Russian t.me/Roscongress, English – t.me/RoscongressDirect, Spanish – t.me/RoscongressEsp and Arabic t.me/RosCongressArabic. Official website and Information and Analytical System of the Roscongress Foundation:roscongress.org.

Russia–Germany Relations after the Pandemic: Together or Apart?

Pavilion G, conference hall G5

During the pandemic, the world has changed radically, with new challenges and problems appearing — from global digital trends to a renewed understanding of ethics in an era of massive global transformations, including in bilateral relations. Germany and Russia share a close historical and genetic link. In spite of the destructive complexities in bilateral dialogue, it’s important that both sides aren’t drawn into a ‘game of mutual recriminations’, which is harmful to fruitful dialogue and cooperation. Do Germany and Russia still share common ground? Will the pandemic provide an unprecedented opportunity to find new pathways for cooperation? How will relations between Russia and Germany change in the ‘fight for global vaccines’? Will the renewed global political infrastructure adjust Russia and Germany’s bilateral agenda? How will bilateral dialogue between the two countries change in light of the EU’s policy of renewed multilateralism headed by Germany? What new prospects for successful partnerships can the ‘green economies’ of Germany and the EU open up, and what new opportunities might emerge through the Energomash partnership?
