The Forum united representatives of the Elets business community, public authorities, business support funds and banking structures.
Today the entrepreneurial sphere is an integral part and the key priority of the municipality economic growth.
Speakers of the forum told about basic directions of the state help, existing financial tools, changes in the taxation.
Finding contact points between large enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses is the major task. The first sprouts of such interaction already exist: Argamach Archeological Park organized accommodation and meals for employees leading the construction of the Syngenta Production plant on the Elets site territory of the SEZ "Lipetsk". Several other projects of similar interaction are currently being discussed.
One of the key speakers at the forum was Roman Petrukhin, General Director of the Special Economic Zone "Lipetsk", who noted the need for interaction between SEZ residents with small and medium-sized businesses.
In addition, he told about what work is already being done in this direction.
On discussion platforms, the district businessmen shared their best business practices in agriculture, carpentry, processing of unsorted household and industrial waste, training of children in programming and many other things.
Entrepreneurs had an opportunity to ask questions to representatives of municipal and regional structures, which is the key goal of the forum – a dialogue between business and government.
At the end of the forum the best business community representatives were awarded with regional and district awards.
