More than a thousand people took part in the XI International INNOSIB Forum

The International Forum of Social Entrepreneurs and Investors INNOSIB – 2022 was held in Omsk from October 20 to 22.

It should be recalled that INNOSIB is being held in the region for the eleventh time. The organizers are the Omsk CISS, the regional Government, the regional Ministry of Economy and the Omsk center "My Business".

It is worth noting that the forum was attended by guests from 15 regions of Russia and delegates from the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Donetsk Republic. The event was held in a mixed format, so those interested were able to participate online.

The Omsk Region Governor Alexander Burkov inaugurated the Social entrepreneurship Forum: "Four years ago, the federal government secured the status of social entrepreneurs at our suggestion. Today, our region retains a leading position in terms of the number of social enterprises – we have 142 of them. We have been operating a school of social entrepreneurship for more than 10 years. We are among the top ten Russian regions in providing non-governmental organizations with access to social services."

Before the plenary session, the head of the region got acquainted with the exhibition of projects and products of social entrepreneurs and NGOs. The forum also included a festival of socio-cultural projects "A World where there are no strangers" with the participation of more than 100 performers from creative teams from five municipal districts of the Omsk region, and a presentation of civic initiatives from municipal districts of the Omsk region.

The region will continue to support social entrepreneurs. It was decided to extend the tax preferences for them until 2024. This year, 66 enterprises will receive grants under the national project "Small and medium—sized enterprises" - twice as many as last year. And the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia supported the Omsk Region's proposal to change the conditions for granting grants. Now the share of co-financing from social enterprises has been reduced from 50% to 25%.
