Deputy Mayor of Moscow Sergunin announced the Student Entrepreneurship Festival

The annual Moscow International Student Entrepreneurship Festival "Studfest" will be held in the capital on January 23 next year. Registration of participants of the forum, which will take place at the VTB Arena sports complex, has already been opened on the event's website, said Deputy Mayor of Moscow Natalia Sergunina.

According to her, the festival program will consist of four thematic blocks. "In one case, the guys will be helped to formulate a business idea, in the other - to find like—minded people. The third one will be devoted to practical recommendations for starting your own business, from selecting a team to attracting investments. In the fourth, modern innovations and new technologies will be presented," Sergunina said.

There will be a separate stand at the Academy of Innovators urban ecosystem for young developers. There, visitors will be able to learn about the key tools of the project and try themselves as a technology entrepreneur in a team game.

Interactivity will be an important part of the event this time. Participants can already join the online quest, in which they will have to complete a number of tasks by January 18: simulate the city of the future in a neural network, compile a list of sought-after professions in 2030, create a video or write a motivational story. Points will be awarded at each stage, which can then be exchanged for gifts. The offline final of the quest with the leaders of the rating will take place at the festival.

As part of the business program of the festival, an analysis of existing projects of technological, service, social and creative businesses will be held. The guests will be told how successful companies started and what skills a modern entrepreneur needs. In addition, experts will speak to the guests, scientific debates and intellectual games will be organized.
