In 2026, the Forum's agenda will be expanded to include an Arctic section, which will complement the main Far Eastern program. The key topic will be audiovisual content: its formats, global trends, and successful project cases—from idea generation to implementation, scaling, and monetization.
Elvira Nurgalieva, Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and Arctic, noted that the Creative Economy in the Far East is being developed as a comprehensive development model, integrated into city master plans and based on science, technology, entrepreneurship, and the region's symbolism.
