I am confident that this format will provide young people with a new impetus for professional and personal development, help to expand their knowledge and expertise, and establish beneficial contacts in order to implement their own ideas and projects”, Adviser to the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the Eastern Economic Forum Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov said.
The lecture course of the EEF 2018 Youth Platform will include lectures on global trends in technology, robotics, alternative energy, opportunities to use the latest scientific achievements in business, and promising niches in information and communication technologies in the Far East, among other themes.

More than 120 applications were submitted for the start-up exhibition and 26 projects were selected to be demonstrated to Forum guests. The pavilion will also feature discussions on information technologies and engineering, master classes given by the leaders of high-tech companies, and investment sessions during which start-up founders will be able to address potential investors and get feedback on their projects.
The EEF 2018 youth agenda will also feature a panel discussion titled ‘How the Volunteer Movement Will Help Develop the Far East’.
