SPIEF 2026 to Guide Visitors Across Russia Through a Teleport and a 3D Map
Marma Lab of the Roscongress Foundation has prepared a set of digital tools for participants of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, ranging from a venue navigation service to a virtual journey across Russia’s regions.
A web service called SPIEF: My Focus will help participants navigate the forum. Without registration, either through a direct link or the ROSCONGRESS app, users will be able to access a three-dimensional map of the venue, explore exhibition stands, save selected locations, and build routes between them. This year, the map also includes the business program schedule organized by conference hall.
Another feature of the forum will be the Interactive Map of Russia’s Regions, a digital version of the Vyshitaya karta Rossii (Embroidered Map of Russia), which was assembled from 89 hand-made embroidered works. In 2026, the map gained a musical layer through cooperation with the Sovremennaya muzykalnaya karta Rossii (Contemporary Musical Map of Russia) nationwide project, while artist Nikas Safronov created a new design for the exhibition.
The Russkiy teleport (Russian Teleport) will be installed in Pavilion H. Inside the enclosed booth, visitors will be able to listen to ethnic music compositions and learn about traditional crafts from different regions. The booth’s interior features a black-and-white engraving based on Safronov’s concept. Guests will also have access to an art space with benches and QR-code-enabled VR worlds, as well as a Regions of Russia souvenir collection that includes a puzzle, porcelain items, and postcards.
