/PRNewswire/ -- With 25-30 per cent of Russian GDP to

be produced in

Moscow

by 2025, the capital of

Russia

is emerging as one of the

new Mega Cities of the world. But the modern

Russia

is beyond

Moscow

. Five to

seven cities are set to become alternative growth centers in

Russia

by 2020,

bridging the welfare gap between the capital and the regions.

A brave new world emerged from Frost & Sullivan's inaugural launch of its

flagship community and global event GIL 2012 - Growth, Innovation &

Leadership. Industry leaders, innovators and visionaries from top Russian and

international companies gathered at the Ritz-Carlton for this year's GIL 2012: -

The Journey to Visionary Innovation

Frost & Sullivan's Mega Trends and their impact on

Russia

were discussed in

detail by Beatrice Shepherd, Vice President CEE,

Russia

and CIS, and Director of

Frost & Sullivan in

Russia

. "We perceive Mega Trends as a tool to build strong

business and generate new revenues," said Ms Shepherd. "By 2025, twenty per

cent of all Russians will live in

Moscow

which is set to grow 2.5 times. The

economic implications of this dramatic change will be that

Moscow

will become

a global economic force on its own with a diverse and dynamic socio-economic

mix and tech-savvy citizens connected 24/7."

At the same time, we will witness the emergence of new mega corridors

between

Moscow

–

St. Petersburg

and

Moscow

– Nizhniy Novgorod. Three

major cities will be emerging from those with a vast growth potential:

Vladivostok

, Tomsk and Yekaterinburg, which are seen as new locomotives for

growth.

The upcoming decade will also show the Russian middle class significantly

increasing, resulting in a surge in consumer spending and stimulating strong

economic growth. With its ambitious infrastructure development programme

Russia

will enter an era of high-speed railway and build or modernise over

20,000 km of roads offering a

Europe

-

China

connection highway via

Kazakhstan

. Other trends along with industry innovations will lead to the

development of an e-

Russia

, the establishment of a global recognition of

Russian brands as well as allow technology leapfrogging.

Innovation was at the core of Frost & Sullivan Global President and Managing

Director, Aroop Zutshi's keynote speech. Introduced by EIA Director and

Partner Dorman Followwill Mr. Zutshi said: "Globalisation has changed the

modern world entirely, making it increasingly complex and competitive.

Innovations, new technologies, changing business models and new social

tendencies – all these require visionary perspective for the future expansion.

Frost & Sullivan's programme is designed to support business leaders in

achieving these three essential objectives and I am proud to be here and
