Open Dialogue Experts at NC ‘Russia’ Discuss Success Formula in the Economy of the Future

Published

on

Moscow, Russia – 08/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – An expert session of the Open Dialogue “Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth” took place on October 7 at the National Center “Russia”. World-class experts participated in the discussion on “New Economy: Competition for Positive Development.”

The session participants were welcomed by the moderator, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation and Deputy Chairman of the National Center “Russia” Organizing Committee, Maxim Oreshkin.

“In the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors of the economy, competition is being won by those who used to be called developing economies. Now these are the economies of the global majority. The key marginality of many markets is concentrated not in the production process itself, but in creating image, perception of ideas associated with certain products. I am confident that in production itself, in creating goods and services, in the new economy, the economy of the global majority is winning the competition step by step. The same will happen in the experience economy,” stated Maxim Oreshkin.

Experts discussed values and meanings as a factor of competitiveness. Using food production as an example, Sergey Ivanov, Executive Director and Board Member of EFKO Group, explained how through the presence of additional meanings, a product can become not just a commodity but a lifestyle and source of impressions.

“Branding is the experience economy. Only there, impressions are tied to the product and add emotional benefits to its rational benefits,” explained Sergey Ivanov.

According to him, the future of the primary sector lies in transitioning from price competition to competition for trust, emotions, and cultural significance of the product. The speaker also emphasized the importance of ethical considerations in the experience economy.

“At some stage of the experience economy’s development, there arose a temptation to separate emotional benefits from rational ones. To turn them from accompanying properties into a separate commodity. A modern corporation in its relationships with consumers most resembles a huge hulk who has seriously entered into a duel with a kindergarten child. Because modern marketing can impose and sell anything. Today’s experience economy is not just an emotion market. It’s a laboratory where human beings are being reassembled. If we don’t agree on rules and ethics, then the experience economy will with high probability destroy society from within,” noted Sergey Ivanov.

Continuing the theme, James Law, founder of James Law Cybertecture International (China), discussed how design, public spaces, and aesthetics create economic and social value, and how the level of impressions and user experience are becoming new performance indicators in architecture and urban planning.

“It can be confidently stated that in the new economy, cities based on impressions act as catalysts for well-being, competitiveness, and positive development,” emphasized James Law.

Dmitry Vasiliev, Development Director and co-founder of Karfidov Lab, touched on the value of creativity in industry. He stated that in the new economy, companies that integrate creativity into the value creation chain—from idea to end user—win.

“Creativity is becoming a real driver of industrial development: innovative design and non-standard engineering solutions enhance the competitiveness of production facilities. Therefore, modern industry must create not only functional products but also impressions that form trust and demand. Successful projects are born at the intersection of engineering competencies and creative approach—in the synergy of science, technology, and creativity,” Dmitry Vasiliev is convinced.

Nitaya Kanokmongkol (Thailand), Executive Director of the Fine Arts Department of Thailand, stated that impressions increase demand for art, forming an “economy of beauty.”

“Beauty is becoming a real economic value. Aesthetic impressions in museums and galleries stimulate cultural tourism, education, and creative industries. We try to balance between identity and globalization, preserving the authenticity of Thai culture and making national art attractive to international audiences, because new experience in content and meaning management can be formed even without using technology,” noted Nitaya Kanokmongkol.

Brian Gleeson (Ireland), General Manager of Radisson Collection Paradise Resort & Spa, continued the theme of “impression capital” in tourism and hospitality. He explained that implementing local culture and responsible practices can not only increase brand value but also stimulate the development of other industries, and what can help unlock the untapped potential of international tourism that Russia possesses.

“The bet on tourism led Ireland to become one of the world’s largest technology centers. We prioritized developing our country’s brand because it illustrates what we are. This is what I wanted to do in Russia as well. People from abroad must understand how hospitable the people are here, what incredible quality of service there is in everything related to the impressions industry. Five-million-population Ireland receives about 6 billion euros from international tourism. But our country will never compare to Russia. Your country’s marketing potential is enormous. Here you can use geographical features, UNESCO sites, cultural traditions, history, and much more,” concluded Brian Gleeson.

Felipe Buitrago (Colombia), Deputy Minister of the Orange (Creative) Economy, discussed how cultural and meaningful narratives form countries’ competitiveness and their “soft power.” He noted that the experience economy and “orange economy” should become strategic assets for states.

“The state should not just subsidize culture but also form an infrastructure of meanings, financing solutions and innovations. At the same time, we cannot forget about maintaining a balance between international competitiveness and preserving unique local cultural codes in the new economy,” noted Felipe Buitrago.

Producer, screenwriter, and director Mehret Mandefro from Ethiopia touched on the theme of local language and culture as an alternative to existing templates.

“In the conditions of the new economy, local cultures and storytelling traditions can compete with dominant Hollywood formats due to their authenticity. Moreover, local identity and cultural uniqueness act as competitive advantages in positioning projects on global platforms such as Netflix and Disney+, which contributes to forming large-scale content ecosystems—effective solutions for new economies,” concluded Mehret Mandefro.

Additionally, she emphasized that a global shift is occurring in the world of cinematography. Stories that are repeated have devalued and are uninteresting to anyone. The future belongs to authentic stories.

“Stories that have already been told don’t sell anymore—they’re often called plastic stories. Now we’re experiencing such a shift, a revolutionary change. New creative forms are emerging that use local language—it’s a whole cosmos. I believe there’s really great potential there; we can open up a whole new world in storytelling,” said Mehret Mandefro.

The International Symposium “Creating the Future” brings together participants from more than 85 countries worldwide, including China, USA, Italy, Latin American countries, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Among the guests are scientists, engineers, futurists, art, culture, and media figures, united by the desire to comprehend and shape tomorrow’s appearance.

The recording of the broadcast of the expert session “New Economy: Competition for Positive Development” of the Open Dialogue is available on the Russia.ru website and in the official social networks of the National Center “Russia.”

German Entrepreneur Felix H Mohr on Discipline, Founder-Led Marketing, and the Rise of Practical Business Education

Published

on

With ventures across marketing, education, and property, the 34-year-old entrepreneur explains why accessible business knowledge matters more than ever.

Hong Kong, 18th November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE– Felix H Mohr, a German entrepreneur known for his work across marketing, education, and fintech-related ventures, is gaining attention for his mission to make practical business knowledge accessible to everyone. At 34, Mohr has founded and built companies across multiple sectors, drawing from nearly a decade of experience in entrepreneurship, branding, and early-stage startup development.

Born in Germany and certified as a fintech professional by The University of Hong Kong, Mohr began his career working in international business management and marketing before moving into entrepreneurship full-time. Over the years, he has operated in industries ranging from digital marketing to property and education technology, giving him a broad, multidisciplinary perspective on what modern founders actually need to succeed.

Today, his focus centers around one theme: helping people understand business in a simple, practical, and applicable way. Through daily video content, educational posts, and long-form publications, Mohr breaks down concepts such as branding, discipline, founder-led marketing, and the realities of building something from scratch — topics he believes most new entrepreneurs misunderstand.

“People overcomplicate business,” Mohr explains. “Most of the time, success comes down to learning quickly, communicating clearly, and being disciplined enough to keep going when it gets hard. Everything else is learnable.”

Mohr’s approach emphasizes discipline, consistency, and transparency. He frequently shares insights from his own entrepreneurial journey — from early jobs to operating agencies and building his newest ventures — with the goal of showing how real founders think, work, and evolve. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that business knowledge shouldn’t be hidden behind paywalls or corporate jargon but shared openly so more people can benefit from it.

A key part of Mohr’s message is the power of founder-led marketing, a concept that suggests audiences trust people more than brands. In an era where consumers follow entrepreneurs more closely than the companies they run, Mohr argues that every founder should treat their personal brand as their most valuable asset.

“People buy from people they trust,” he says. “You can spend thousands on ads, but one authentic video from the founder often does more than an entire campaign. The earlier founders learn to communicate publicly, the faster they grow.”

Mohr produces content daily across platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn — showing the process, sharing lessons, and documenting how a modern founder navigates challenges. His consistent presence has become a core part of the educational work he is building, providing practical insights that help people understand business in a simple and applicable way.

Beyond marketing and education, Mohr also emphasizes the mindset required to build long-term success. Discipline, he says, is the differentiator that separates those who try entrepreneurship from those who make it work.

“Most things in business are solvable,” Mohr notes. “If you’re willing to stay in the game, push through discomfort, and keep learning, you give yourself a real chance. Discipline wins where motivation fails.”

As Mohr continues to grow his digital presence and media footprint, he remains focused on the mission that has shaped his work for years: making business knowledge simple, accessible, and usable for anyone willing to learn.

Healing Through Horses, Art, and Reintegration: Baz Nixon Champions Veteran-Focused Nonprofits

Published

on

Colorado, US, 18th November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a world where the challenges faced by veterans extend far beyond their years of military service, one man is quietly helping bridge the gap between sacrifice and support. Baz Nixon, a former U.S. Air Force logistics and contracting officer, has built a second career that continues his lifelong mission of service. Through his consultancy, Blue Sky Grant Services, LLC, Nixon partners with nonprofits that serve veterans and at-risk populations, ensuring they have the funding and resources needed to make a lasting impact. From equine-assisted therapy to art-based healing and reintegration programs for justice- involved veterans, Nixon’s work uplifts organizations that stand at the forefront of meaningful change. His contributions reflect the same principles that defined his two decades in uniform — discipline, purpose, and a steadfast commitment to those who serve.

A Mission That Didn’t End with Retirement

After more than 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, Baz Nixon retired from military service with a deep understanding of leadership, logistics, and human resilience. His career had taken him across the globe, from humanitarian relief efforts in Sumatra to multimillion-dollar contracting operations during the War on Terror. When his service concluded, Nixon faced a familiar question many veterans encounter: what comes next? For him, the answer lay in continuing his mission — just in a different capacity. He founded Blue Sky Grant Services, LLC to help nonprofit organizations navigate the complex world of funding and compliance. His expertise in government processes and program development positioned him perfectly to support nonprofits serving the very people he had worked alongside for decades.

“I wanted to continue helping those who dedicate their lives to serving others,” Nixon said. “Many veteran-focused organizations have powerful missions but limited access to funding. My goal is to make sure those programs not only survive but thrive.”

Healing Through Horses: Restoring Trust and Strength

Among Nixon’s clients is a nonprofit dedicated to equine-assisted therapy, a program that helps veterans cope with post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and emotional trauma. Through structured interaction with horses, participants rebuild confidence, trust, and emotional
balance in a supportive environment.

For many veterans, traditional therapy can feel intimidating or detached. Working with animals provides a unique path to healing that bypasses stigma and creates space for genuine connection. Nixon has helped secure grants that keep this program running, allowing it to expand its reach and serve more veterans across multiple communities. “The transformation that happens in these programs is remarkable,” Nixon shared. “Horses respond to authenticity and calmness, and that interaction mirrors what many veterans are seeking as they rebuild their lives.”

The Power of Art in Healing

Another organization Nixon supports uses art as a therapeutic outlet for veterans processing trauma or adjusting to civilian life. The program encourages creativity through painting, sculpture, and writing, giving participants the tools to express what words often cannot. “Art gives veterans a way to reclaim their voice,” Nixon said. “Every brushstroke or written line becomes part of their healing journey.” Nixon’s guidance in identifying and securing grant opportunities has allowed this art therapy program to expand workshops, purchase materials, and collaborate with local artists. Beyond funding, he offers insight into structuring these initiatives for long-term sustainability.

Reintegration and the Road Home

In recent years, Nixon has focused on helping nonprofits that work with justice-involved veterans — men and women who have faced legal challenges following their service. For many, the road to reintegration is steep, marked by stigma, unemployment, and mental health struggles. Through workforce training, counseling, and mentorship, these organizations provide pathways toward redemption and reintegration. Nixon helps them secure the resources needed to scale their efforts, ensuring more veterans have access to second chances.
“Justice-involved veterans deserve the opportunity to rebuild their lives,” Nixon emphasized. “Their service doesn’t vanish because they stumbled. Reintegration programs allow them to rediscover purpose and contribute meaningfully to society.”

$12 Million in Funding and Counting

To date, Nixon has supported over 360 grant proposals, helping nonprofits secure more than $12 million in funding. While not all of that total is veteran-specific, a significant portion directly impacts programs serving justice-involved individuals and other at-risk populations. His track record demonstrates not just skill but a deep belief in the potential of nonprofit organizations to drive measurable change. Nixon’s approach combines the precision of military planning with the compassion of community service. He works closely with nonprofit leaders to understand their missions, refine their goals, and craft compelling funding proposals. His process ensures that every

project aligns with the organization’s long-term vision and meets the standards of government and private grant providers.

“I see my clients as partners in a shared mission,” Nixon said. “When they succeed, communities heal, veterans recover, and society grows stronger.”

A Lifelong Commitment to Service

What makes Nixon’s work unique is his ability to bridge two worlds — the structured, mission-driven environment of the military and the purpose-driven, often under-resourced world of nonprofits. His leadership ensures that programs rooted in compassion also operate with precision and accountability. Colleagues describe him as a professional who leads with both heart and discipline. Whether he is refining a grant proposal, advising on compliance, or advocating for a veteran support initiative, Nixon brings the same intensity and attention to detail that defined his military career. “Every veteran I work to support represents someone I might have served with,” Nixon reflected. “That personal connection drives me to make sure the organizations that help them have what they need.”

Looking Forward: Building Stronger Nonprofits

As Baz Nixon continues his work, he envisions a future where more nonprofits can focus less on survival and more on impact. He advocates for stronger collaboration between government agencies, private funders, and community organizations to ensure veterans
receive comprehensive support across mental health, housing, education, and employment. He also emphasizes the importance of innovation in nonprofit programming. Whether through equine therapy, creative arts, or reintegration initiatives, Nixon believes that holistic approaches hold the key to lasting recovery. “Veterans deserve more than just services — they deserve solutions,” he said. “Nonprofits are uniquely positioned to deliver those solutions because they understand the human side of the mission.”

About Blue Sky Grant Services, LLC

With deep expertise in grant writing, compliance, and organizational strategy, the firm supports nonprofits serving veterans, justice-involved individuals, at-risk youth, and animal welfare programs.
