The Roscongress Foundation has published the structure of the business program, covering the full cycle of business development — from idea to scaling. The event will bring together youth, development institutions, authorities, and experts.

"Systematic support for young entrepreneurs is a key direction for developing the business environment in the Caucasus," emphasized Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak.

The program will help unlock the potential of youth in the North Caucasus Federal District, launch startups, and strengthen SMEs.

The day will begin with a plenary session and sessions on the economy of the future, digitalization, tourism, and energy.

"Practice-oriented formats will allow applying knowledge to real projects," noted Presidential Advisor and Deputy Secretary of the KIF Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov.

Key interactives:

• North Caucasus Federal District Future Labs with practical cases
• Startup competition to identify promising initiatives
• "Entrepreneur's Path" for SMEs with expert Q&A
• Awarding "Young Entrepreneurs of the Caucasus: Investments in the Future"

"Participants will go through the entire path: from idea to finding investors with expert feedback," explained Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

The format will allow immediate assessment of project prospects and finding partners.
