This year, 30 projects reached the final of the competition within the framework of the Kazan Forum of Young Entrepreneurs of the OIC countries. Since 2014, the participants of the IX Kazan Forum of Young Entrepreneurs reported, the total number of winners has exceeded 1,000 people aged 18 to 35 from more than 50 countries. More than $2 million was raised for the implementation of startups.

"The forum has been held since 2014, and its main goal was to create a platform for the exchange of experience between startups and the search for investors for start-up IT startups. As well as the search for partners and like-minded people," said Aigul Gabdrakhmanova, Director of GBU MC "Salet".

"More than 100 projects are involved in participation every year. Many invite investors from their countries to the forum. This year the forum gathered 30 applicants from 13 countries," said Ziad Baruni, Assistant Director General of the Eurasian Office of the OIC Youth Forum (Azerbaijan).

"We have been thinking about the Russian market for a long time, and I think this market needed our services. Our team helped us to study the Russian market and understand the needs of our customers," said Tarek Noureldin Mohamed, founder of the startup OTO Cou.

The participants noted the broad prospects of the site and the high demand for participation among young people. Thus, the participants of the conference noted that some projects have already been implemented: representatives of the government of the Republic of Tatarstan are taking startups for revision, and the experience of Azerbaijan has also made it possible to implement several projects.
