A self-employed person from Saratov received 1 million rubles to develop the production of dog food

Saratov self-employed Pavel Lukyanov became the winner of the Federal competition for youth entrepreneurship “Create Ours”.

He and 29 other entrepreneurs from other regions received grants in the amount of 1 million rubles.

Pavel Lukyanov produces hypoallergenic treats for dogs. It was with this project that he became the winner. In addition to funds for development, he received the opportunity to participate free of charge in a special acceleration program, as well as assistance in obtaining government support measures and finding additional investments for business development.

“I learned about the competition from the My Business Center, after which I decided to take part in it and test my strength and entrepreneurial abilities,” shared the self-employed man.

Support from the “My Business” center helps not only in promoting your business, but also in developing entrepreneurial skills.

Pavel Lukyanov is an active recipient of the Center’s services: “I attended conferences, participated in the business game “My First Business,” applied for product promotion, and also participated in a campaign that helps launch advertising on digital screens. I am very grateful for such opportunities!”

The “Create Ours” competition was conducted by the SME Corporation and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. Its goal is to help young entrepreneurs develop their own businesses with financial support and personal mentoring from leading experts.

In total, more than 5 thousand applications were submitted for participation from existing and aspiring young entrepreneurs from 88 regions of the country.

Support for entrepreneurs is one of the key areas of the national project “Small and Medium Enterprises”, initiated by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
