Youth Technology Entrepreneurship: Unveiling New Opportunities and Challenges
Technological entrepreneurship in Russia stands as a crucial component, not only within the economic landscape but also within the realms of education and youth policy. What measures should the government and business communities undertake to foster an environment conducive to the growth of technology-driven enterprises and to attract young individuals to this field? How can we nurture and cultivate the growth of a technological entrepreneur, starting from student programs and progressing towards the establishment of successful technological businesses? Where can financing opportunities be found for youth technology projects, and is it feasible to secure funding for a student project from venture capitalists? To what extent are there sufficient support measures offered by development institutions, and how accessible are these measures to young individuals?
