The 4th Russian Design Industry Forum, held on April 14–16, 2026 in Moscow, has been a success!
Mr. Amerigo Tatel, CEO of B2BASEAN and the managing partner of B2BVostok, proudly represented the Philippines.
The forum was organized by Roscongress Foundation with the participation of international partners from B2BASEAN (Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam), as well as India, Italy, Iran, and other countries.
The forum’s key session, “Code of Nations: Design Diplomacy & Industrial Pragmatism”, brought together participants from BRICS, ASEAN, and the Middle East to address a crucial challenge: limited understanding of cultural differences, leading to lower trust and fewer business connections.
Representatives from participating countries showcased their strengths, highlighted the rapid growth of the creative economy, and outlined concrete steps to expand collaboration in fashion, apparel, and design industries.
The forum focused on increasing trade turnover through:
• International exhibitions
• Business missions
• Educational programs on entrepreneurship and market expansion
The shared goal: to strengthen economic cooperation and deepen partnerships between BRICS, ASEAN, and Russia.
