In Russia, there is a growing focus on youth entrepreneurship as a factor of long-term economic growth. The Growth Platform has announced its support for the Create OURS competition, an initiative aimed at developing young business teams and launching sustainable projects in various industries.
The competition creates an environment where aspiring entrepreneurs get access to mentors, educational modules, and infrastructural support. For young teams, this is an opportunity to go from an idea to a full-fledged business model with a well-developed financial architecture.
Support from the Growth Platform strengthens the institutional component of the project. Participants will be able to count on expert evaluation of projects, assistance in structuring strategies and preparing for market entry. This is especially important for regional initiatives, as access to professional expertise is often limited.
Today, youth entrepreneurship is considered as an element of the formation of the domestic market and economic diversification. New companies are creating jobs, developing local production facilities and increasing competition in the segment of small and medium-sized businesses.
The Create OURS competition is focused on projects with scaling potential. The focus is on technological solutions, social initiatives and production areas. The formation of an entrepreneurial environment at an early stage makes it possible to reduce barriers to entry into a business and improve the quality of management decisions.
For the economy of 2026, such programs are becoming a tool for structural transformation. Support for youth projects forms the basis for the emergence of new brands, export-oriented companies and innovative solutions.
The development of entrepreneurship among young people strengthens business activity in the regions and increases the sustainability of the national economy in the long term.
