New Generation of Entrepreneurs: Focus on the East


The Far East is one of the most economically significant regions, as well as the birthplace of a dozen successful young entrepreneurs and startups whose projects have gone far beyond the borders of the region and even the country. A rapidly changing world requires new non-standard solutions that are traditionally offered by young people. To support young entrepreneurs in Russia, various tools are provided, but can they be considered sufficient?
- Why is business support important?
- How is the younger generation developing the economy of the Far East today?
- What barriers exist for young entrepreneurs?
- Is government support for young entrepreneurs active and substantial? Is it necessary to increase government assistance for business?
- What trends are observed in the field of youth startups?
- Where is the best place for young businessmen to look for investors?
