Business programme
Sessions on science entrepreneurship, deeptech, artificial intelligence, robotics, medicine and new models of collaboration between science, business and government.
Future Talks creates a space where technology ideas meet capital, markets, scientific expertise and people who can turn research and development into a working product.
On 22 December, more than 800 startup founders, investors, scientists and representatives of technology companies, corporations and development institutions will gather at Moscow’s Lomonosov Cluster.
The programme includes parallel thematic sessions, the Technology Showcase, a pitch session, the Future Talks Innovation Award and participant meetings. Each guest can build a personal route through the forum.
A distinctive feature — smart networking begins before the event: participants complete a profile, receive relevant recommendations and build a personal plan in advance.
