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

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

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

The main program began on November 18 with a block focused on Industry 4.0 and the new agreements between the state, companies, and investors. Voices such as those of Olga Abramova (Ministry of Agriculture of Russia), Yulia Povolótskaya (Moscow Venture Capital Fund), and Artiom Lukin (Tekhnored) agreed that emerging markets open 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 discussed the convergence between traditional energy, industrial mining, and digital technologies. The overall 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: towards a new technological order

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

Meanwhile, the table Digital Economy 2025-2030 anticipated how digital payments, foreign trade, and regulation will shape the agenda for the coming years. It highlighted the intervention of Andréi Mijailishin (BRICS Pay), who emphasized the importance of common standards within the BRICS bloc.

The closure: BRICS record, diamond awards, and the technological map towards 2030

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

The final ceremony of The Trends Awards presented 21 awards in categories such as AI, fintech, blockchain, startups, and mining. The winners received diplomas inlaid with 7-carat diamonds, 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 statement of intentions. Russia seeks to position itself as a technological bridge between Europe, Asia, and Africa, and this forum showed that the race towards 2030 has already begun.
