XIII EURASIAN ECONOMIC FORUM IN VERONA

On 22–23 October 2020, Verona will host the XIII Eurasian Economic Forum. The event is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation and the Conoscere Eurasia Association.

The Forum will be one of the few offline events to take place in 2020. Discussions will focus on a wide range of practical issues to do with trade and economic collaboration across an area stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Topics will include the future of the oil industry, economic recovery models in the wake of the pandemic, growth prospects for the gas industry, the search for a new geopolitical and socioeconomic order, and genetics and genome research.

The sanitary regulations in place in Italy mean that attendance at the event will be strictly limited and be by invitation only.
