From November 18 to 20, the TAU Place complex welcomed more than 15,000 attendees and 250 speakers at the 5th International The Trends Forum-Exhibition and at the Mining.ru forum, consolidating the event as one of the most influential technology platforms in the Eurasian space.

In just two years, The Trends achieved numbers hard to match: more than 30,000 accumulated visits, 700 speakers from 30 countries, 240 stands, and over 500 partners. But the real impact was in the forum’s ability to bring together, in one place, the State, major corporations, investors, startups, and delegations from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Industry 4.0, energy, and digital mining: the foundation of new industrial power

The main program began on November 18 with a block focused on Industry 4.0 and the new pacts between the State, companies, and investors. Voices such as Olga Abramova (Ministry of Agriculture of Russia), Yulia Povolótskaya (Moscow Venture Capital Fund), and Artiom Lukin (Tekhnored) agreed that emerging markets are opening up unprecedented opportunities for hybrid innovation models.

Then came the most anticipated session of the day: Energy of the Future. There, representatives from Neopool, WAYMORR, Impulse Engineering, and RAKIB debated the convergence between traditional energy, industrial mining, and digital technologies. The general impression was clear: mining and services based on energy infrastructure will be integrated into heavy industry as an indispensable component.

Web3, AI, and digital economy: toward a new technological order

The Web3 World block took the conversation toward AI, connectivity, and blockchain, with contributions from figures such as Shakhab Al Mur (Dubai), Edgar Grigorián (DAOPEOPLE), and the influential blogger Rafael Manvelian. All agreed that Web3 will move from an experimental ecosystem to one fully integrated into the digital economy.

In parallel, the roundtable Digital Economy 2025-2030 anticipated how digital payments, foreign trade, and regulation will set the agenda for the coming years. The intervention of Andrei Mijailishin (BRICS Pay) stood out, emphasizing the importance of common standards within the BRICS bloc.

The closing: BRICS record, diamond awards, and the technology map toward 2030

On November 19, Trends 2030 was presented, where investors, startups, and corporations outlined scenarios for the next decade. On the same day, a BRICS Record was registered officially certifying The Trends as the largest technology and investment forum in the CIS space.

The final ceremony of The Trends Awards presented 21 prizes in categories such as AI, fintech, blockchain, startups, and mining. Winners received diplomas with 7-carat diamond inlays, a symbolic gesture in line with the weight the region wants to have in the global tech economy.

The Trends 2025 was not just an expo: it was a declaration of intent. Russia seeks to position itself as a technological bridge between Europe, Asia, and Africa, and this forum showed the race toward 2030 has already begun.
