On November 30, the "Business of the Young" Festival, organized by the Rosmolodezh.Business track, hosted the awards ceremony for the All-Russian competition "Young Entrepreneur of Russia" at the National Centre RUSSIA. This initiative, implemented as part of the All-Russian Program for the Development of Youth Entrepreneurship, aims to promote successful business practices and ideas among young entrepreneurs.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko addressed the participants and winners with a welcoming message, quoting President Vladimir Putin: "It is important that young entrepreneurs today share a drive to achieve success and work for the benefit of people and their country."

"The festival provides additional opportunities for self-realization and talent development, aligning with Russia's national development goals. Compared to last year, the number of project participants has increased 3.5 times, reaching 35,000. Friends, all paths are open for you today to bring interesting startups, ideas, and projects to life. The Government will continue to support such initiatives. I wish you success, prosperity, victory in the competition, and the realization of all your plans," said the Deputy Prime Minister in his message.

The "Young Entrepreneur of Russia" award was presented for the 14th time. Over the years, hundreds of young entrepreneurs have been recognized as winners. The initiative annually helps identify and scale successful practices, popularize entrepreneurship, and foster social activity among participants. Through the competition, young people can showcase their projects on a federal level and receive expert assistance.

The competition is divided into three leagues: "Advanced Entrepreneur," "Beginner Entrepreneur," and "Youth with Ideas." It includes 12 nominations: "Social Business," "Family Business," "Innovative and Technological Entrepreneurship," "Classic Entrepreneurship," "International Business," "Creative Business," "Manufacturing," "Agri-Business," "Eco-Entrepreneurship," "Women in Business," and "Transport Business."
