Ukrainian entrepreneur Stakh Vozniak reached out to Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak after Russian media reports about his participation in the Cloud Cities technology forum, which will be held in Moscow. Steve explained how he came to agree to the event.
This was reported to dev.ua by Stakh Vozniak, CEO of Forward Group and co-founder of Cargofy in the USA.
«He was persuaded to speak online by the Urban Future Forum organization, without specifying that it would be in the Russian Federation. He gave all the information and Steve canceled the speech,» said Stakh Vozniak.
As it turned out, the Apple co-founder received a proposal stating that the Urban Future Forum event was from BRICS, an international organization that includes Russia, Brazil, India, China, and South Africa.
This technology forum is held every year in different cities. This year, Moscow was chosen, but Steve Wozniak was not informed about this.
All these reports about the Apple co-founder’s arrival seem like propaganda. The event website does not indicate his presence in person, as the meeting was supposed to take place online.
Stach Wozniak also showed a photo of the office that was shot at yesterday with a quote from Steve on the wall. To which the Apple co-founder replied: «I hate Russia».
