On June 3-4, Metropolitan Ambrose of Tver and Kashinsky took part in the business, social, spiritual and cultural program of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. During the forum, the archpastor spoke at expert platforms dedicated to the development of territories, the values of Russian entrepreneurship, demography, charity and the role of man in the era of artificial intelligence, and also took part in choral events organized with the support of the Church and Public Council under the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia for the Development of Russian Church Singing.
On June 3, Metropolitan Ambrose took part in the session "Social Architecture Projects. Creating growth points for territories." The discussion was moderated by Daria Kislitsyna, Director of the Department of Regional Programs at the Expert Institute for Social Research. The session participants discussed how social architecture helps shape the image of the future of regions, improve the quality of life, build trust and create conditions in which people connect their future with their native land. 
In his speech, Metropolitan Ambrose noted that the development of the territory cannot be limited only to infrastructure and economic indicators. According to the archpastor, the region holds a person not only with work and a comfortable environment, but also with a sense of home, memory, culture, heroes and a clear image of the future. Vladyka emphasized that Russia needs a modern and attractive image outside of the capitals — not an image of a province to leave, but an image of strength, dignity and vocation.
On the same day, Metropolitan Ambrose took part in the panel discussion "Philosophy of Russian Entrepreneurship: principles, values, guidelines." The discussion was devoted to entrepreneurship as a form of public service, the historical experience of Russian merchants, the traditions of patronage and the need to form a culture of responsible business. 
The head of the Tver Archdiocese noted that entrepreneurship, if it is based on evangelical foundations, does not contradict Christian life. According to Vladyka, profit should not become an end in itself and turn into service to the "golden calf"; it can be a means for good deeds, helping those in need, developing people and serving society. Metropolitan Ambrose also pointed out the need for more systematic church attention to the business community and stressed that entrepreneurship is not only personal success, but also a reputation before God and people.
On June 4, Metropolitan Ambrose took part in the session "The Gold Standard of Corporate Demography", dedicated to family support, the role of employers in demographic policy and the creation of conditions for the birth and upbringing of children. Among the key participants of the session were Valentina Matvienko, Chairman of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Igor Shchegolev, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District, Tatiana Kim, founder of Wildberries, and other government and business representatives. 
In the church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God on the territory of the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Center, Metropolitan Ambrose prayed a prayer service in front of the icon of the holy entrepreneurs. The service was held as part of the spiritual and moral program of the forum, related to the topic of responsible entrepreneurship and service to society. 
Metropolitan Ambrose of Tver and Kashinsky's participation in the SPIEF events was a continuation of the church's testimony in the space of public dialogue about human dignity, traditional spiritual and moral values, a culture of responsible entrepreneurship, regional development and the preservation of Russian church singing as an integral part of Russia's spiritual and cultural life.
