CIPR – the "Digital Industry of Industrial Russia" – is the country's premier business event in the field of the digital economy and technology. Over eleven years, the conference has evolved into a respected platform for dialogue between government representatives, big business, academia, and the startup community.

CIPR addresses strategic questions: how digital technologies are transforming industry, healthcare, education, and public administration. It is here that partnerships are born, agreements are signed, and the vector for Russia's entire technological development is set.

11 years of the conference – one of Russia's oldest digital forums.

Forum No. 1 for the digital economy in the country in terms of reach and speaker status.

1000+ participating companies from Russia and abroad annually.

Participating in CIPR offers the opportunity to be at the epicenter of shaping digital Russia, hear from top government and business leaders, and exchange experiences with industry pioneers. Distinguished guests of the forum include: the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, ministers, heads of state corporations (Rosatom, Roscosmos, Sberbank, Rostelecom), and leaders of the country's largest industrial holdings.

Nizhny Novgorod is among the top 5 largest cities in Russia and is one of the country's main industrial and technological centers. It is here that enterprises of the defense, automotive, and IT sectors are concentrated, leading technical universities operate, and an innovative ecosystem is actively developing.

The Nizhny Novgorod Region is a leader in the digital transformation of Russian regions. The region consistently ranks among the top for implementing digital technologies in public administration, industry, and the service sector.

CIPR is hosted at the Nizhny Novgorod Fairgrounds, a historic exhibition complex. The symbolism of the venue adds special meaning to the forum: it is here, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, that Russia has traditionally opened itself to the world and demonstrated its power.

Furthermore, Nizhny Novgorod is a city with a soul. It is a place where cutting-edge technologies naturally coexist with Orthodox churches, merchant mansions, and the great Volga River. It is this combination of modernity and tradition that makes it an ideal symbol of a new Russia.

This year, the OKA Agency is again organizing a panel discussion at CIPR, which will become one of the key events of the forum's business program.

"Woman of the New Code: Soft Power in an Era of Change"

The discussion brings together practitioners, experts, and authentic voices – those who have already made their choice for Russia and are ready to speak about it honestly.

This panel discussion is a live conversation, not monologues from a podium. Its participants are women from different countries who are already living in Russia and building their lives here, experts, as well as specialists from the OKA Agency who help make such stories a reality every day.

It addresses several important questions that concern thousands of women worldwide:

How does Russia support family and motherhood – legislatively, socially, culturally?

What professional opportunities are open to a woman who chooses not a career instead of a family, but a career alongside a family?

How does Russia differ from Western countries regarding femininity, motherhood, and traditional roles?

How can you move to Russia if you are a woman with conservative beliefs and want to live in a society that shares your values?

The OKA Agency firmly believes that the most sustainable societies are those where technological development goes hand in hand with preserving the human dimension of life: family, tradition, identity.

That is why our panel is at the heart of the business program. Because the question of what kind of Russia we are building and for whom holds immense strategic value.
