The program for this years Eastern Economic Forum has now been published, the topic of this year’s meeting being “The Far East: Expanding the Range of Possibilities.” The forum is set to be held at the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) campus in Vladivostok from September 11–13.

The forum will consist of more than 50 events, including panel sessions, business dialogues and round tables. Usually, the main event will be a session with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.

“The central theme of EEF 2018 reflects our expectations of the forthcoming event. Previous forums have been extremely effective in terms of contracts signed and agreements reached. I am confident that following the results of EEF 2018 we will be able to reach a new, deeper level of ties with foreign investors, business representatives and government authorities, especially since the geography of the Forum participants is expanding each year,” noted Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Eastern Economic Forum Organizing Committee, Anton Kobyakov.

The EEF 2018 business program will consist of four major sections ‘Tool to Support Investors: Next Steps’, ‘Industry Priorities in The Far East’, Global Far East: International Projects for Cooperation and Improving Living Conditions. Each section will consist of a number of discussions surrounding eastern economic issues.

Its expected that the event will help to provide companies and organizations with advice, information and expert guidance while building connections and investment opportunities.
