About the forum
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 20 years, the Forum has become a leading global platform for representatives of the business community to meet and discuss the key economic issues facing Russia, emerging markets, and the world as a whole.
Last year, Sovetsky Sport organized the forum’s first-ever panel discussion focused on the relationship between sports and business.
This year, two panel discussions on sports were included for the first time in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum program, demonstrating the growing importance of the sports industry.
