The Grand Final of the Entrepreneurship Ideas Competition 2017 united 19 entrepreneurship projects. SP&P managing partner Alexander Stepanovski was invited to evaluate the projects as a member of the competition’s jury panel.
The top three places were taken by projects «Vyshegor» (Olga Pulko), «Viper» (Natalia Sivtsova) and «Lern» (Maria Skorohod) accordingly.
The winners were given prizes by the competition’s partners: education grants from IPM Business School, certificates for cash management and payment services from Alfa-Bank, presents from MTS as well as legal counseling certificates from «Stepanovski, Papakul and partners».
According to competition’s organization team, year after year the participants keep experiencing some problems in the legal domain. A master-class given a few days before the final helped the participants solve them. SP&P Counsel Sviatlana Valuyeva and attorney Valentina Ogarkova spoke before the finalists on the topics of registering property rights and protecting commercial secrets.
