The event took place at the "Ankudinovka" technopark. This was reported by the press service of the governor and the regional government. The organizers were the Ministry of Industry of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and the regional center "My Business". The meeting was part of the national project "Effective and Competitive Economy". The Minister of Industry, Trade, and Entrepreneurship of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Maxim Cherkasov, noted that a large-scale support system for businesses has been established in the region—from consultations on choosing a business direction to bringing products to the international market. "The regional center 'My Business' serves as a single window for receiving support measures. It accompanies entrepreneurs and acts as a platform for developing business competencies. Specialists regularly conduct educational events, meetings with experts, and the business community. We are constantly improving the formats of interaction with entrepreneurs, focusing on their real requests and needs. For the first time, we held a foresight session that brought together business representatives and experts from various fields. In an open dialogue format, participants discussed key challenges arising at different stages of company development," the minister said. Among the most pressing requests were topics such as scaling businesses, establishing effective management processes, attracting clients and increasing sales, as well as networking and finding business partners. The work was conducted in small groups formed based on the scale of the business, the nature of the tasks, and industry affiliation. As part of the program, there was also an express "Q&A" session among participants, where entrepreneurs shared solutions to relevant problems with each other. Recall that information about all support measures for businesses at the federal and regional levels can be found at the "My Business" center (мойбизнес52.рф), which operates within the framework of the federal project "Small and Medium Entrepreneurship" of the national project "Effective and Competitive Economy". The center also has a hotline "My Business," where all necessary information can be obtained. Hotline phone number: 8 (800) 301-29-94 (call is free). The national project "Effective and Competitive Economy," initiated by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, represents a set of systemic measures that form the groundwork for a new model of long-term economic growth based on a supply-side economy. It includes federal projects such as "Small and Medium Entrepreneurship," "Labor Productivity," "Increasing Investment Activity," "Low-Carbon Development," "Development of Technological Entrepreneurship," "Development of the Financial Market," and "Development of Competition."
