The second stream of the "Your Business" project has been launched in Tatarstan

A pilot project "Your Business" has been launched in Tatarstan, during which participants of a special military operation and their family members will undergo a set of programs on the basics of entrepreneurship during the week. The program is implemented by United Russia, Opora Russia and the SME Corporation with the support of regional authorities. 

The goal of the Your Business project is to support veterans of the SMO and their family members who want to start their own business. It is planned to train at least 500 people per year.

"We have many mechanisms that are aimed at helping entrepreneurs, including beginners. This is not only access to preferential financial programs, which is certainly very important, but also other types of support: consulting, legal, psychological. All this together will contribute to the successful launch of their business by the project participants," said Chairman of the Public Council of the Entrepreneurship party project, President of Opora Russia Alexander Kalinin. 

The SME Corporation is responsible for the development and implementation of the program, as well as the selection of mentors. Its specialists fully accompany the participants - they solve all current issues during the face-to-face part of the project and provide expert and consulting support to graduates. 

"Following the results of the first stream in Ryazan, we saw how important it is to give people practical tools to develop their business. And this applies not only to novice entrepreneurs, but also to those who have already had business experience. Therefore, we have built the program in such a way that every graduate of our course has a clear idea of what and how he needs to do at the start, what government tools for business development are available to him and how to get them," said Alexander Isaevich, CEO of SME Corporation. — A separate section is devoted to the possibilities of obtaining support measures, where participants will learn about federal and regional mechanisms, offline development tools and online services."

Meetings with existing entrepreneurs of Tatarstan are also planned for the participants of the program.

"Every day more and more of our compatriots return from the line of contact. The issue of adaptation and the entry of fighters into a new reality is important for everyone, both for the state and for public structures. We express our gratitude to the Opora Russia organization and the SME Corporation for sharing their capabilities on this platform," said Yuri Kamaltynov, Deputy Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan, head of the United Russia faction in the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Let us recall that in February 2025, United Russia, Opora Russia and SME Corporation announced the launch of the federal project "Your Business" for participants of the special operation and their family members. Four regions were selected as pilot regions. The mentors included active entrepreneurs who took part in a special military operation. They share their experience in creating and developing their business, and provide support to veterans in creating and building a business. The first stream of the program was held in March in Ryazan.
