Participants of the special military operation and their families presented 16 business plans at the National Centre RUSSIA in Primorye

---

On 17 October, the Primorye branch of the National Centre RUSSIA summed up the results of the second stage of the training programme "SVOye Delo" ("Own Business") for participants of the special military operation and their family members. Sixteen aspiring entrepreneurs presented their business plans to an expert panel — from goat cheese production to a music school.

"This is not just an educational project for us, but an important mission to support the participants of the special military operation and help them with social adaptation. We see how those who have taken part in the programme, after going through serious trials, find the strength and determination to start something new. They not only gain knowledge but also come away with a concrete plan to launch their own sustainable business," noted Ksenia Pletser, Executive Director of the Primorye region Guarantee Fund. The participants presented a wide range of business ideas — from tyre fitting and storage services to cheese and nut production.

The "SVOye Delo" programme is organised by the My Business Centre. There were so many applications that participants were divided into two groups. The first group defended their projects at the National Centre RUSSIA in Primorye on 10 October.

In total, more than 30 aspiring entrepreneurs received certificates of completion over the past two weeks.

During the five-day intensive, each group took part in workshops with experts and meetings with practising entrepreneurs who shared their experience and advice. Those who register their businesses after completing the programme will receive a special service package from the My Business Centre.
