YBR at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2013

Boris Tkachenko and Victor Glushkov were among the participants of the representative delegation of thirteen YBI national member organizations, who took part in the events of the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Rio de Janeiro on 18-21 March, 2013.
Along with the remarkable fact that the YBR Programme was recognized as one of the leading organizations to be invited to the Congress, it is worth mentioning that Moscow has been chosen the hosting country for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2014.

The city government was represented at the Congress by the Head of Moscow Government Department for Science, Industry and Entrepreneurship Alexei Komissarov: "The Global Entrepreneurship Congress is an international initiative uniting businesspeople, investors, researchers and legislators in order to discuss measures aimed at supporting entrepreneurship. I am happy that Moscow will host the 2014 Congress. We are looking forward to meeting leading businesspeople from 150 countries. One of the main objectives of the Congress is to promote and extend contacts among entrepreneurs and investors and share the experience of implementation of successful projects and technology commercialization. To my mind, Moscow is the best choice for promising investment projects and implementation of innovative solutions".

YBR will partner the Congress in most rapidly progressing areas of youth entrepreneurship and mentorship and will coordinate the respective events and initiatives together with the city Department for Science, Industry and Entrepreneurship and the Entrepreneurship Center.
