Moscow Startup Summit 2025: A Gathering of Innovation and Investment
The Moscow Startup Summit, set to take place from October 1-2, 2025, in the SberCity smart city, is gearing up to be a significant event in the global startup landscape. This two-day event promises to bring together innovators, investors, corporate executives, governmental agencies, and research institutions from Russia, BRICS, and SCO.
The summit will serve as a platform for startups to showcase their innovative solutions, secure pilot programs and investments, and establish agreements on international cooperation for government bodies. With over 4,000 startup professionals from 25 countries expected to attend, the event is poised to be a melting pot of ideas and opportunities.
One of the highlights of the summit will be the Sber500 international seed accelerator's Demo Day, where startups will have the chance to present their projects to a discerning audience. The 'Best Artificial Intelligence Solution' nomination, which received more than one-third of the startup applications, is expected to be particularly competitive. Interestingly, the finalists in this category will be determined using the neural network model GigaChat.
The Moscow Startup Summit will also introduce the Startup Summit Awards for contribution to innovation development. The prize-giving ceremony for these awards will occur on October 2. The search results do not currently contain information about the founders of the Startup-Summit-Awards in Moscow.
The event will feature a comprehensive business agenda, including presentations, master classes, panel discussions, and practical sessions. Young startup teams will present roadshows during the event, providing a platform for them to share their ideas and seek feedback from industry experts.
Moscow, with its vibrant startup ecosystem, will host 1,688 startups out of the total 2,200 in the Russian Federation, making it the largest startup hub in Russia. The summit will also welcome a large startup delegation from the UAE, reflecting the global interest in this event.
In total, more than 1,700 applications were submitted for the summit from 79 regions of Russia. Global venture funding totaled $91 billion in the second quarter of 2025, indicating a strong investment climate for startups. The event will be streamed live on the official website, ensuring that those who cannot attend in person can still benefit from the insights and opportunities on offer.
The Moscow Startup Summit 2025 aims to focus on regional agendas and innovations in Russian constituent regions, making it an ideal event for startups looking to make a mark in the Russian market. With its comprehensive programme and diverse participants, the Moscow Startup Summit 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable event for the global startup community.
