From November 24 to December 14, entrepreneurs will be able to apply for selection to the Platform for Growth acceleration program through the SME.RF Digital Platform.
The project is aimed at the systematic support of Russian brands, the development of key business management competencies, training in the work and use of promotion tools for online trading, as well as increasing their recognition among consumers in Russia and abroad.
At the moment, access to the selection is open to local brands from 37 regions of Russia, which have already launched a "Growth Platform", including Tatarstan.
To participate in the selection for the Platform for Growth program, entrepreneurs must meet the following conditions:
- be a member of the register of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
- have a registered trademark and operate under your own trademark
- plan a sale or already sell products on the marketplace (Wildberries)
- produce goods in the region connected to the Platform for Growth support program
- sell consumer goods with a shelf life of 3 months or more
Before the launch of the collaboration with the SME Corporation, it was possible to get into the entrepreneur support program only through the regional offices of the My Business centers or to win the Know Our People contest.
The Growth Platform is a comprehensive entrepreneur support program launched in December 2024 by RVB and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI). Participation in the project contributes to increasing entrepreneurial activity in the regions of Russia and in the territories of friendly countries, as well as increasing attention to the topic of creating favorable conditions for the development of domestic business.
Today, more than 850 brands from Russia and entrepreneurs from Uzbekistan have joined the project.
