The Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) will launch a multimedia project at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2022 as part of its stand. The project will enable thousands of young Russian entrepreneurs to present their start-ups and achievements to participants of the SPIEF business and exhibition programme. This will be an opportunity for future project participants to present their business to investors, leading businessmen, regional leaders, ministers, and media representatives and to receive the support they need to develop and scale up their project in the future.

The broadcasting of the best cases in an open call format at the Rosmolodezh stand will begin on the first day of SPIEF 2022. This is a unique chance for thousands of young Russian entrepreneurs to present their businesses to a wide audience. For example, last year over 13,500 participants from 141 countries, including over 1,000 media representatives from 46 countries, visited SPIEF over the four days.

According to Ksenia Razuvaeva, Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), "The Rosmolodezh open call is a great tool to present your project. Moreover, we are guided by the principle of co-authorship and wide involvement of the target audience in any of the agency's projects. Now, thanks to the vacated niches on the market, it is possible to reach a completely different level in the business community. There are thousands of successful cases in Russia's youth entrepreneurship ecosystem, and this is a chance for them to find partners among the guests of the international Forum, get investment, or advertise their product or service".

A QR-code will be generated for each completed application. It will take participants to the page or business card of a young businessman.
