Over two days, the BRICS Cities Future Forum gathered more than 13,000 participants from 42 countries. 29 delegations from 21 countries came to Moscow, including China, India, UAE, South Africa, Turkey, and others.

The business program featured 50+ sessions where 460 experts discussed robotics, AI, and the hybrid economy.

Key speakers set the tone for the discussions: the creator of the technofeudalism concept Yanis Varoufakis, NEOM's chief futurist Kate Barker, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rae Kwon Chung. They debated digital addictions, climate challenges, and the role of humans in the technological megacity.

The city itself became an innovation laboratory: Moscow received the BRICS award for "human-centered robotization" — an unmanned tram and a whole army of smart assistants.

The main star was the cleaning robot “Pixel”: a new model with a vacuum system that collected trash right on site and demonstrated how robots are changing urban routines.

The forum showed: the digital future is already here, and it is being built by cities ready for dialogue between people and machines.
