SPIEF 2023: A major platform for entrepreneurs from Oman to develop business relations

Muscat: Entrepreneurs from Oman have a unique opportunity to participate in the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) set to take place from June 14 to 17, 2023, in the incredible city of Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The SPIEF provides a platform for global leaders and financial honchos to engage, connect, reach out, and resolve issues. This annual forum is the world’s biggest and most important business conference and is an invitation-only event. Participants include world leaders, CEOs of major companies, key industry experts, scientists, philanthropists, civil society, and start-ups. The event is an opportunity to occupy a vacant niche in Russia and unites entrepreneurs from all over the world in one place.

The forum provides a unique opportunity to learn about the latest trends in the global economy, meet with colleagues, and establish new business contacts.  We welcome entrepreneurs from the Sultanate to join global business leaders at this wonderful platform. The SPIEF is the perfect place to find business partners, discuss current economic issues, and establish relationships between the business community and the authorities. The main objective of the forum is to support a constructive dialogue aimed at establishing mutual understanding and creating a basis for joint decisions and actions.

It is a unique event in the world of economics and business. SPIEF has been held since 1997, and since 2006 it has been held under the patronage and with the participation of the President of the Russian Federation. Over the years, the forum has become the world’s leading platform for business representatives to communicate and discuss key economic issues facing Russia, emerging markets and the world. Every year, the forum is attended by more than 14 thousand participants from Russia and abroad, including heads of state and government of developing countries, heads of major companies, as well as leading world experts from among representatives of science, the media and civil society. The forum is held in the format of plenary sessions, round tables, exhibitions, presentations of investment projects, business meetings and negotiations. In recent years, the SPIEF has turned from an important domestic event into an authoritative and representative event that has received international recognition.

Entrepreneurs from Oman can reach Russia through Oman Air’s direct flights from Muscat to Moscow, and from Moscow to St. Petersburg, the modern Sapsan bullet train is the smartest way to travel, connecting the two cities in about four hours.

Described as the ‘Russian Davos’, the event will have a rich business agenda for 2023, with the UAE as the guest country of SPIEF. The summit expects increased numbers of participants from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, including ministers, entrepreneurs, scientists, leading experts in science, the media, business, and civil society. This year, the forum will focus on a number of topics sourced through a crowdfunding platform, ‘Powerful Ideas for a New Era.’ The programme will go beyond the three days, and the opening day will become a full-fledged working day, with the forum venue and all forum services fully operational for all four days, from June 14 to 17.

As an attendee, the forum will bring entrepreneurs from Oman closer to people from different countries, unite, and work together in an atmosphere of mutual trust. There is a free and uncensored exchange of opinions on all issues on the international agenda, without any restriction. They can expand networks, meet partners, open markets, and learn from people with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Participants can expect to be actively engaged as a full participant throughout the event.

St. Petersburg is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, with extraordinary art, high architecture, remarkable history, and rich cultural traditions that have inspired and nurtured some of the modern world’s greatest literature, music, and visual art. The White Nights are a kind of symbol of St. Petersburg: various festivals, concert programmes, and folk festivals take place in the city at this time of the year. The weather is usually about 18-25 degrees Celsius in June.

St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs from Oman to establish new business contacts, discuss current economic issues, and establish relationships with the business community and the authorities. It is a major platform to develop business relations, and an excellent opportunity to participate in a discussion platform where there is a free and uncensored exchange of opinions on all issues on the international agenda, without any restriction.
