The best teams will present their business ideas to potential partners and investors.

It is worth noting that entrepreneurs from Tatarstan have repeatedly participated in acceleration programs. Their projects were highly appreciated, and entrepreneurs themselves were among the best graduates. Such examples of successful implementation of a business idea include the Wise Kids Center for Child Development. The center was created by a graduate of the acceleration program - Natalia Gazizullina in Kazan. The center offers classes for children in the following areas: speech therapy, defectology, neuropsychology, psychological counseling, psychotherapeutic classes, as well as preparation for school. Information support on the project coverage was undertaken by the Entrepreneurship Support Fund subordinated to the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan.
