The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) is a unique event in the world of business and economics. SPIEF has been held since 1997, and since 2006, it has been held under the auspices of the President of the Russian Federation, who has also attended each event.
Over the last 24 years, the Forum has become a leading global platform for members of the business community to meet and discuss the key economic issues facing Russia, emerging markets, and the world as a whole.
The Global Trade & Technology Council (India) is pleased to announce its continued engagement with the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025, taking place from June 18–21, 2025, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Recognized as one of the world’s premier platforms for international economic and policy dialogue, SPIEF offers unmatched opportunities for business collaboration and global networking.
In a significant development, GTTCI formalized its partnership with the Roscongress Foundation by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during SPIEF 2024. This collaboration marks a strong commitment to advancing India’s role in global trade and technology exchange through sustained dialogue, innovation, and strategic partnerships.
SPIEF 2025 promises to serve as a dynamic forum for economic cooperation, with a special focus on emerging markets, sustainable development, and inclusive growth. Through this ongoing partnership, GTTCI continues to connect Indian enterprises with influential stakeholders, enabling greater participation in global economic conversations and projects.
