ФORUM 2021 – the 1st French Russian Youth Economic Forum
ФORUM 2021
The 1st French Russian Youth Economic Forum
April 27th, 14:00 – 19:30 (Paris), 15:00 – 20:30 (Moscow)
Today, as in the past, France and Russia maintain a relationship that is both passionate and contrasted, between attempts at rapprochement and existential rifts. However, the two countries have never ceased to maintain important commercial, cultural and academic ties, conscious of the importance of preserving a constructive dialogue between their companies and civil societies. With more than 150,000 employees and the second largest flow of FDI into Russia, French companies are the country's largest foreign employer and continue to bet on this promising market.
The Junior Business Club France Russie project is in line with the rapprochement desired by Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Putin in 2017, with the conviction that French and Russian youth would benefit from working better together. The ФORUM 2021 is an opportunity to recall this and to show that future French and Russian economic leaders are capable of innovating, undertaking and imagining new ways of cooperation. Sciences Po Alumni supports the ФORUM 2021 by being one its partner.
