The XV Verona Eurasian Economic Forum has opened in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku today. The two-day event will be held on October 27-28, 2022.

This year the forum will be themed “Eurasia on its path to a new geopolitical, social, and economic order: transition to a new, human-centered economy”.

Azerbaijani Economy Minister Mikayil Jabbarov, Russian Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov, Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk, as well as a number of other high-ranking officials, are participating in the event.

The participants will discuss issues of mutual economic cooperation, transport and economic issues, as well as the challenges facing countries, global problems and climate change, and the role of ‘green’ technologies and digitalization in their solution.

This event brings together politicians, experts, diplomats, company heads and journalists from the West and the East. The forum was held in Italy even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, today's geopolitical realities forced the organizers to change the traditional venue of the forum.

The forum participants will discuss a wide range of practical issues in the field of economy and finance, healthcare, environment, energy and technological innovations in Greater Eurasia. On the first day of the forum, the participants will discuss global energy challenges, European energy security, the role of business in global geopolitics and the creation of a cooperation economy from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The event is organized by the non-profit organization Conoscere Eurasia Association (Italy), the Roscongress Foundation, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum with the support of the Ministry of Economy of Azerbaijan.
