At the initial stage, the evaluation of ideas on the crowd platform will be handled by a broad expert community of ASI, whose task will be to select the top 1000 ideas. Next, the ASI Expert Council will select the top 200 ideas, and by the end of May, the chairman and the bureau of the ASI expert council will determine the top 100 ideas. The top 10 initiatives based on the results of the selection will be presented to the President of Russia as part of the face-to-face part of the Forum. Also, the authors of the ideas included in the top lists will have the opportunity to present their projects at events held by the Roscongress Foundation during the year.

In addition, at the meeting of the Organizing Committee, the issues of the establishment of the award of Russian brands were considered. This proposal was announced by the President of Russia during a meeting of the ASI Supervisory Board. The award will be awarded to the best domestic brands that are able to replace and successfully replace temporarily vacant market niches.

Now ASI and the Roscongress Foundation support ideas through a partner network – federal and regional authorities, development institutions, businesses and NGOs, that is, organizations that are interested in implementing projects and initiatives. Authors of ideas and initiatives are assisted in eliminating administrative barriers, finding funding and promoting at the international level. Regional management teams also work with projects.
