BRICS Urban Future Forum 2024
BRICS Urban Future Forum is a leading Global Platform defining the development agenda for BRICS cities and beyond. The forum's aim is to transform words into action creating concrete forms of International Cooperation involving Political and Business decision makers to help identify growth areas and create synergies among BRICS cities, organisations and businesses.
Shantanu Parvati, Co-Founder & Director of USPI Consulting was invited to the forum to be a part of a Panel Discussion on the topic "Technology Diplomacy : Business Ecosystems of BRICS+ Countries".
The discussion focussed on establishing the context for BRICS+, how a unified ecosystem can be created to support technological and economic growth of all members, tools and initiatives needed to strengthen the interaction between businesses of BROCS+ countries, how joint innovation projects can be implemented by intensifying technological exchange, and how can the BRICS+ countries, practically, come together and share advanced technologies and knowledge to overcome the challenges of the digital era.
It was a very interesting discussion with a truly Global and a Diverse Panel with the other panelists representing leading Research, Development, Government and Not-for-Profit Organisations in UAE, Tanzania, Turkey and Kyrgyzstan.
