Omsk Entrepreneurship Forum "Your business is your success" was attended by more than 4,000 people

The entrepreneurship forum "Your business is your Success" has completed its work. During the three days of work, the Forum was attended by more than 4 thousand people.

From May 29 to 31, 2019, the annual event dedicated to the Day of Russian Entrepreneurship, the tenth regional forum "Your Business is your Success", took place in the regional Congress Hall.

The organizers of the Forum were the Ministry of Economy of the Omsk Region, the Omsk City Administration, the Agency for Development and Investment and the Omsk Regional Fund for Support and Development of Small Business.

The forum was held as part of the My Business comprehensive educational and information program. Over the three days of the Forum, more than 40 events were held, organized by business support infrastructure institutions, business associations, educational institutions and private companies. Thus, representatives of Omsk enterprises, current and aspiring businessmen took part in seminars, round tables, discussion platforms, networking, and also discussed possible sources of financing for their projects and how to develop in the crisis.

According to Omsk companies participating in the Forum, this year the synergy of all structures interacting with business allowed Omsk entrepreneurs to establish useful contacts and expand horizons in the development of their business.

Many useful events took place at the Forum: a round table "Government support for business: current aspects and development prospects", a networking event "Personal Success Ladder: a million dollar course" with the participation of successful entrepreneurs Viktor Shkurenko and Alexander Deryabin, management duels, a mentoring lounge "Sales Persuasion techniques", a round table "Business Reboot".

Thus, a mini-conference of the ScaleUp acceleration program was held within the framework of the Forum. The acceleration program is a set of measures to prepare existing entrepreneurs for rapid growth. This includes training, participation in dialogue platforms, and an experienced mentor. The ScaleUp methodology is unique in combining successful international practices and the best Russian business practices. The program has already been successfully implemented in Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Kirov, Tyumen, Tomsk, Rostov, Vladimir regions and Krasnodar Territory.

The key event of the Forum was the master class "How to make a breakthrough in 2019" by Sergey Shushin, a business coach, athlete, and Guinness Book of World Records record holder.

"Businessmen have learned how to write a strategy to grow twice, attract disruptive employees, create an ideal sales department, and stop losing money on employee mistakes. The traffic of Forum visitors has increased almost 2 times compared to last year. This indicates that small and medium-sized businesses in Omsk are striving for development and expansion. Business support involves a wide range of areas, including the provision of grants and subsidies, guarantees and microloans, the development of foreign economic activity, and much more. We are confident that the Your Business is Your Success Forum, using the best international experience and our own technologies that promote successful growth, will give an impetus to the development of small and medium–sized businesses in the region," said Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Agency for Development and Investment.
