Youth Entrepreneurship Day to be Held in Sochi
On 14 February, Youth Entrepreneurship Day will be held at the Russian
Investment Forum in Sochi. The aim of Youth
Entrepreneurship Day is to build a dialogue between young people and the
government. It offers young people a wonderful opportunity to talk to leading
representatives of business, government and public organizations, make useful
connections and enhance their professional skills.
“Youth events at
business forums are being held in line with the President’s order to organize a
permanent youth platform at major Russian business events. This is only one of
the vast range of measures being taken in respect of state youth policy in the
Russian Federation.
By supporting and
empowering young people to engage socially and economically and in their
professional life, we not only address important issues, but also strengthen
the foundation of the Russian economy of the future. In a recent message to the
Federal Assembly President Vladimir Putin paid particular attention to
providing support to young families and scientists, developing education and
science, and boosting youth employment in the regions. Our goal is to create
the conditions that will enable young professionals and entrepreneurs to thrive
professionally, contribute to the economy of the country, and subsequently become
the bedrock of the economy,” said Anton Kobyakov,
Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation, Executive Secretary of the
Organizing Committee responsible for preparing and conducting the Russian
Investment Forum.
The event programme
includes networking, panel discussions, sessions and a case club. In the
morning of the final day of Russian Investment Forum 2020, several panel
discussions and sessions on important topics will kick off in parallel. At the
thematic platforms, participants will discuss key economic and political issues
with leaders of the business community and will address issues related to
investment in youth and the development of entrepreneurial activity,
volunteering and innovation.
The key session will be
the panel discussion: Investing in Youth – a Contribution to the Future or
Success in the Present?”, where the panel members will discuss the successful performance
of young people, which becomes a strategic resource for improving the country's
economy and a significant driver of creative and technological values. Leading
experts and participants will address issues related to supporting young people
and creating the conditions for them to develop and unleash their potential,
and discuss the role of young people in modern society and how this can affect
the future of the country.
“Such innovative
dialogue platforms at major economic forums contribute to the development of of
new technological projects and fresh ideas due to the incentives and unique
experience that young participants gain. Investing well in young people,
supporting them and creating all the necessary opportunities and resources for
their personal fulfilment will have a positive impact on the development of our
country across the board,” said Alexander
Bugaev, Acting Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs.
The Forum will also pay
