BRIDGE Awards 2026 — Bridge to Recognition
Moscow and Russia have always attracted talented people from other countries. Many of them integrated into society as renowned architects, scientists, entrepreneurs, diplomats, and cultural and artistic figures. Many played an historic role in the country's development, despite the fact that this contribution was not always recognized and acknowledged at the highest level.
Today Russia as always welcomes foreigners who come to the country and realize their aspirations, goals, and dreams.

The international BRIDGE AWARDS aims to recognize the contribution of foreign citizens and repatriates to the development of Moscow and the Russian Federation and support people who are only planning to connect their lives and work with our country.
Today, it is especially important to strengthen humanitarian, business, and cultural ties with these individuals and shape a positive narrative about them in Russian society.
This public and business award was created with the support of the Moscow Government and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) as part of the development of the international community The Bridge Club.
