The regional brand “Chukotka – the Dawn of Russia” will form the basis of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug’s exposition at the “Far East Street” exhibition, which will take place as part of the Eastern Economic Forum. The exposition will introduce visitors to the unique geographical location of the okrug as the territory where dawn is first seen in Russia and the world. The exhibition is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Far Eastern Federal District.
“The exhibition ‘Far East Street’ will introduce participants and guests of the Eastern Economic Forum to the diversity of culture, traditions, and life in this territory. For most people, Chukotka is a mysterious northern region. The more people learn about its opportunities, the more investors and tourists will appear in the region. And of course, as last year, we expect a rich cultural program that invariably attracts visitors’ attention and thanks to which every participant of the EEF will be able to touch the uniqueness of Chukotka, feel its beauty and strength,” noted Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Chairman of the Government – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the organizing committee of the Eastern Economic Forum.
The architectural design of the Chukotka pavilion is inspired by the natural forms of the Arctic. The smooth lines of the structures resemble snowy hills, ice hummocks, and the movement of the northern wind. The space combines modern technology, eco-friendly design, and images of northern nature, creating a recognizable visual image of the region.
“It is in Chukotka that the new day of Russia begins. Our pavilion at the “Far East Street” exhibition is an opportunity to showcase the region as it truly is: strong, distinctive, and looking towards the future. Here we will talk about the large-scale projects that are transforming the Arctic, about our culture, traditions, and people. I invite everyone to get acquainted with Chukotka,” said the governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Vladislav Kuznetsov.
The entrance to the region’s pavilion will be designed in the style of the dwellings of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of Chukotka – yarangas, and inside, guests will find a modern technological space where traditions and innovations become part of a unified history of the region.
The internal exhibition of the stand reveals Chukotka as a territory of opportunities and sustainable development. Through modern multimedia solutions, interactive installations, and real-life stories of residents, visitors will be able to get acquainted with the unique lifestyle of the region, its culture, economy, and prospects.
The central element of the pavilion will be the interactive zone “Chukotka. Territory of the First Ray of the Sun,” dedicated to the unique natural phenomena and features of life in the Arctic. Here, an interactive map of the region will be displayed, allowing visitors to control the sunrise, observe the movement of the sun over the district’s territory, activate the northern lights effect, learn about the polar day and polar night, and explore the natural characteristics of Russia’s easternmost region.
A dedicated area in the pavilion will be devoted to the residents of the region. Visitors at the site will be able to explore the stories of people who are shaping modern Chukotka: entrepreneurs, craftsmen, reindeer herders, athletes, cultural workers, and representatives of the creative industries. The area features real stories of the region’s inhabitants, video interviews, and multimedia portraits.
The economic potential of Chukotka will be showcased primarily in the pavilion’s multimedia space. The stand will present the region’s key investment projects, the successes of the extractive industry, and the district’s role in Arctic development. The possibilities of the Northern Sea Route, prospects for territorial development, and the investment attractiveness of the ChAO will be demonstrated visually.
The region’s exposition will also be linked to the anniversary dates of 2026: the 95th anniversary of the Uelen Bone Carving Workshop – one of the oldest art centers of the Arctic and a keeper of the traditional art of the indigenous peoples of Chukotka, as well as the 50th anniversary of the Wrangel Island State Nature Reserve – a UNESCO World Heritage site and a unique Arctic territory of global significance.
The cultural program of the pavilion includes vocal and dance performances. Visitors to the stand will be able to get acquainted with the musical and dance traditions of the peoples of Chukotka, as well as the works of local performers and stage productions reflecting the originality of the region.
Following VEF-2025, the pavilion of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug became one of the best among the exhibitions of the Far Eastern regions, winning in the category “Best Cultural Program.”
The 11th Eastern Economic Forum will be held from September 1 to 4 at the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. During these days, the exhibition will be accessible to forum participants, and on September 5, 6, and 7 it will open to everyone interested.
