IV World Futurological Congress
"Summa Technologiae Forum"
A global meeting point for future cities, AI governance, biotech translation, and long-range economic design. Researchers, civic institutions, founders, and public-interest labs gather in Yerevan to compare evidence, argue openly, and leave with actionable frameworks.

Congress Brief
Where policy language meets technical evidence
The congress is structured as a serious international working forum: strong keynote framing, paper-linked track sessions, and enough institutional texture to feel credible for ministries, universities, and research networks.
Theme 2026
The limits of predictability: governing fast and uneven technology transitions.
Format
3 days, 4 tracks, 30+ talks, workshops, a mayoral roundtable, and an evening demo showcase.
Venue
Meridian Expo Hall, Yerevan, with a full hybrid stream for international attendees.
Editorial Direction
This visual system favors clean institutional storytelling, strong imagery, gradient accents, and white-space-led layout rather than dense blocks of text.
Core Tracks
Cities and Infrastructure
Resilient energy systems, next-gen mobility, and adaptation to climate volatility.
AI and Society
Human-centered interfaces, changing labor markets, and institutional trust in automation.

Personalized medicine, biosecurity policy, and ethical guardrails for new therapies.
Future Economies
New employment architectures, platform cooperatives, and regional development strategies.
