Russian Space Forum to take place on 9 April

"In ac­cor­dance with the De­cree of the Pres­i­dent of the Rus­sian Fed­er­a­tion, Space Week will be an an­nu­al event that in­cludes the Rus­sian Space Fo­rum. The 2026 edi­tion of the Fo­rum will take place at the RUS­SIA Na­tion­al Cen­tre in Mos­cow on 9 April. As the year marks the 65th an­ni­ver­sa­ry of Yuri Ga­garin's space flight – an event that de­fined our coun­try's place in space his­to­ry – the Fo­rum will show­case the achieve­ments of the So­viet and Rus­sian space in­dus­try over the years, how they help peo­ple, and the pros­pects for the fu­ture. The Fo­rum will also fo­cus on hu­man re­source de­vel­op­ment for young peo­ple and op­por­tu­ni­ties for in­ves­tors to work with­in the pub­lic-pri­vate part­ner­ship pro­gramme. Not only is space one of the most hi-tech in­dus­tries, but it is also part of our na­tion­al cul­ture," noted Ad­vis­er to the Pres­i­dent of the Rus­sian Fed­er­a­tion and Ex­ec­u­tive Sec­re­tary of the Space Week Or­ga­niz­ing Com­mit­tee Anton Kobyakov.

The most im­por­tant goal of the Rus­sian Space Fo­rum is to cre­ate a safe space for an open di­a­logue among all par­tic­i­pants in the space in­dus­try. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives of gov­ern­ment and state cor­po­ra­tions, in­ter­na­tion­al part­ners, in­ves­tors, sci­en­tists, and en­gi­neers will be able to com­mu­ni­cate di­rect­ly, with­out in­ter­me­di­ar­ies – a for­mat that will con­trib­ute to the rapid and high-qual­i­ty mod­ern­iza­tion of the Rus­sian space in­dus­try.

"I am con­fi­dent that the Rus­sian Space Fo­rum will be­come an im­por­tant plat­form for di­a­logue at all lev­els. Space has no bound­ar­ies, and we in­vite all par­tic­i­pants in space ac­tiv­i­ties to join us. It is my be­lief that it is only through broad in­ter­na­tion­al co­op­er­a­tion that hu­man­i­ty will be able to make gi­ant leaps in the peace­ful ex­plo­ra­tion of space," as­sert­ed Ros­cos­mos Gen­er­al Di­rec­tor Dmitry Bakanov.

The Fo­rum is or­ga­nized by the Ros­cos­mos State Cor­po­ra­tion, the op­er­a­tor is the Ros­con­gress Foun­da­tion, with the sup­port of the Gov­ern­ment of the Rus­sian Fed­er­a­tion.

The Ros­con­gress Foun­da­tion is a so­cial­ly ori­ent­ed non-fi­nan­cial de­vel­op­ment in­sti­tu­tion and a ma­jor or­ga­niz­er of in­ter­na­tion­al and na­tion­wide con­ven­tions; ex­hi­bi­tions; and busi­ness, pub­lic, youth, sport­ing, and cul­tur­al events.

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

The Foun­da­tion's events draw par­tic­i­pants from 209 coun­tries and ter­ri­to­ries, with over 15,000 me­dia rep­re­sen­ta­tives work­ing at Ros­con­gress venues ev­ery year. More than 5,000 Rus­sian and for­eign ex­perts en­gage in an­a­lyt­i­cal and ex­pert work.

The Foun­da­tion works with UN struc­tures and oth­er in­ter­na­tion­al or­ga­ni­za­tions. In ad­di­tion, it is de­vel­op­ing mul­ti-for­mat co­op­er­a­tion with 239 for­eign eco­nom­ic part­ners, as­so­ci­a­tions of in­dus­tri­al­ists and en­tre­pre­neurs, and fi­nan­cial, trade, and busi­ness as­so­ci­a­tions in 90 coun­tries; 368 Rus­sian pub­lic or­ga­ni­za­tions and fed­er­al and re­gion­al ex­ec­u­tive and leg­is­la­tive bod­ies of the Rus­sian Fed­er­a­tion and for­eign coun­tries, and in­ter­acts with more than 1,000 for­eign me­dia out­lets from 128 coun­tries.
