The entrepreneur is a key person in business: it is the entrepreneur who launches new business, implements business models, creates new jobs, promotes social welfare, and contributes to the emergence and development of new industries. During the entire history of mankind, entrepreneurs have contributed to the economic development of human society and the improvement of living conditions. This still holds true today. That is why we believe it is important to draw public attention to the significance of entrepreneurship in the present-day economy. Since its inception, over 100 outstanding Russian entrepreneurs have been recognized for their vision, courage and leadership in building successful businesses.
