The Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) and the Roscongress Foundation have announced the launch of an application campaign for the sixth Strong Ideas for a New Age forum.
Anyone can submit their projects and initiatives on the idea platform.Roscongress.Russia. Applications will be accepted until June 15, 2026. Then the experts will select the top 100 ideas, and the strongest of them will be presented at the final event, which will be held on July 22-23, 2026.
In 2026, ideas are being adopted in five areas: the social sphere, the human resources sphere, the technological sphere, the entrepreneurial sphere and the environmental sphere. A special feature of the 2026 forum will be the expanded use of artificial intelligence technologies: AI will help at the stage of evaluating ideas, allow for in-depth analysis of strategic trends and create thematic collections of initiatives for further work with projects.
During the six years of the forum's existence, representatives of not only all regions of Russia, but also 45 countries of the world have become its participants. In 2025 alone, the authors submitted more than 35,000 initiatives, which is more than twice as high as the figure of the first forum.
"Today, the main competition in the world is not only for technology or resources, but also for time — you need to be able to quickly create and implement new solutions, attract strong ideas and unlock people's potential. Therefore, platforms where society's initiatives have the opportunity to turn into real projects are of particular value. In six years, the Forum has become just such a mechanism. The more than 120,000 ideas submitted by the participants over the entire time are a reflection of how people see the development of Russia, their cities, economy, social sphere and technology in the future," said Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation and Chairman of the forum organizing Committee.
Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Forum's Organizing Committee, added that the Strong Ideas for a New Age forum community now unites almost 600,000 people, and interest in participation continues to grow every year.
"This indicates a high level of civic engagement and the demand of society for real mechanisms of participation in the development of the country. The Forum has become a space where initiatives from citizens, businesses, regional teams and the expert community have the opportunity to move from an idea to practical implementation. The best projects are supported by development institutions, regions and partners, and their authors receive new opportunities for professional and social growth," emphasized Anton Kobyakov.
Anyone can take part in the forum, both with ready—made projects and with promising initiatives. Each participant can post their idea on the official website, receive expert assessment, feedback from partners and comments from other users. Registration and submission of applications are available via the link.
