ABOUT EVENT
The International Municipal BRICS Forum is a communications and business platform for the exchange of best practices, technologies, and effective solutions to ensure the livelihoods of urban and regional populations, strengthening of ties between representatives of regional and municipal authorities of BRICS+ and other friendly states, and development of business communications with entrepreneurs from Russia and foreign countries.
The Forum’s platform brings together partners from more than 70 countries and 2,000 cities and regions worldwide. Annually, the Forum is attended by more than 5,000 Russian and foreign heads of constituent entities and regional parliaments, mayors of large cities, heads of ministries and departments, representatives of business and scientific circles, heads of large commercial companies, representatives of investment funds and banking structures, specialised experts and others.
The event is supported by the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, the Government of Moscow, the Government of Saint Petersburg, the Moscow City Duma, the All-Russian Association for the Development of Local Self-Government, and the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Every year since 2020, the Forum has been included in the official action plan of the BRICS chairing countries. The IMBRICS Forum was included in the texts of the Beijing Declaration of the XIV BRICS Summit in 2022 and the Kazan Declaration of the XVI BRICS Summit in 2024 as a significant mechanism in promoting urban development and establishing links between twin cities of the BRICS countries within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In 2024, the Forum was marked by a Letter of Appreciation from the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
The IMBRICS Forum 2025 includes more than 70 events: business programme activities (sessions, sections, round tables), an exhibition, B2B and B2G meetings, presentations of investment projects, agreement signing ceremonies, and cultural and leisure events.
