Finding a lost suitcase using GPS, turning hogweed into fuel, extracting electricity from a campfire — the All-Russian finals of the fourth season of the I’m in Business program took place at the RUSSIA EXPO. Youth teams from 72 regions of the country met here — in an interactive format they presented their ideas on how to turn a mundane problem into money.

The project is based on free educational courses for schoolchildren and students, who then become mentors for future entrepreneurs.

"The first steps in any profession are the most difficult, so it is very important that the participants of I’m in Business project have mentors. This season our lads have already prepared four thousand projects. We will welcome the next, fifth season of the program in January and follow the interests of our students and schoolchildren", — said Alexey Nechaev, head of the New People faction in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

The participants were supported by Anna Skroznikova, a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation: "Schoolchildren and students can really create their own business and are able to bring benefit to the country with their ideas. Now you are proving once again that any business starts with people. After all, products and services can change, goals can also change, but values often remain the same".

The first place was awarded to the team of the Lomonosov Northern (Arctic) Federal University (Arkhangelsk region).

The third place was won by young designers of FSBEI HE Tyumen Industrial University.

The people’s choice award went to the projects made by students from the Omsk region (branch of FSBEI HPE State University of the Ministry of Finance of Russia and FSBEI HE Omsk State Technical University) and the Republic of Tatarstan (FSBEI HE Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev-KAI and FSBEI HE Kazan State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation).
