Moscow is preparing to welcome thousands of youth and families to a unique, citywide event — Forum Moscow 2030. Territory of the Future — designed to showcase the technologies, creativity, and lifestyles shaping the decades ahead. Running from August 1 to September 14, the forum spans 11 landmark venues and features a rich mix of interactive experiences across science, culture, sports, and digital innovation.
Targeted at young people from around the world, including a growing base of visitors from the UAE and broader Middle East, the forum reflects Moscow’s ambition to present itself as a modern, future-ready metropolis.
“Moscow is rapidly evolving into one of the world’s most dynamic urban destinations — a city where tradition meets technology, and where youth are at the heart of innovation,” said Anastasia Popova, Head of Business Tourism Development at the Moscow City Tourism Committee. “We warmly welcome young people from the UAE and the Middle East to discover Moscow not only as a place of history, but as a city of the future.”
A Festival of Future Living
Across the six-week celebration, guests will have the opportunity to try their hand at robotics, interact with scientists, play phygital sports, and take part in immersive history and transport-themed experiences — all while enjoying the city’s parks, universities, and public spaces.
