"We are launching an updated project "Mom-entrepreneur". This unique program gets a fresh start. The educational component has been updated, modules on demanded competencies have appeared. The online support program will be developed. The format remains unchanged - it is a series of trainings and a grant for the implementation of their plans for the winner of each regional stage," explained Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

In the regions, the program will be held from May 1 to October 1 in the "My Business" centers operating within the framework of the national project "Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurship", which is supervised by First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov.

The partners and co-organizers of the competition were business support organizations - the SME Corporation, the Our Future Foundation, and the Union of Women of Russia.

Based on the results of the work individually and in groups, the participants will form their projects and present them to experts.
