From 18 to 21 June 2025, St. Petersburg will host the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). Its business programme will include Russia–US Business Dialogue dedicated to important issues of bilateral economic cooperation.
“Even in conditions of limited political dialogue, business finds ways to interact. It is precisely this pragmatic approach, reliance on economic interests and professional contacts that make it possible to maintain working relationships and seek areas for growth. SPIEF provides a rare opportunity for such meaningful communication on an international platform,” said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee.
The Russia–US session will provide a platform for constructive dialogue aimed at overcoming barriers and developing partnerships in areas such as investment, industry, energy, technology, transport and infrastructure. Participants will consider how to create conditions for the restoration and expansion of business cooperation, what new opportunities are opening up for entrepreneurs and investors in the context of global change, and how joint projects can become a catalyst for sustainable economic growth. Particular attention will be paid to mechanisms for implementing promising initiatives and exchanging best practices to create a predictable business environment.
“We support the initiatives of the U.S. business. The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum remains one of the few venues where business representatives from different countries can openly and pragmatically discuss real challenges. It is an important opportunity to listen to each other, build new vectors of cooperation and seek solutions that benefit all participants in the global economy,” said Robert Agee, President of AmCham Russia.
The Russia–US session at SPIEF 2025 will be an important step towards maintaining professional dialogue and developing business initiatives in the new economic reality.
