On 12-13 November, the IV All-Russian Forum on Technological Entrepreneurship was held in Moscow. SPbGASU has been an active participant in the forum for the third year in a row. Our university was represented by Veronika Nikiticheva, Deputy Director of the Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Career; Natalia Zaitseva, Deputy Director of the Educational Center for Project-Based Learning; Nikolay Podprigora, Associate Professor at the Department of Land Transport and Technological Machines, PhD of Engineering Sciences; and Kirill Tishunin and Danila Luttsev, students participating in the Startup as a Diploma program (both fourth-year students of the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Municipal services).

For two days, the forum was abuzz with startup activity: engaging presentations, discussions on future technologies, and meetings with entrepreneurs and creators of successful innovative projects. SPbGASU representatives participated in practical sessions, interacted with experts and business representatives, and discussed the development of their own startup projects.

This year, the forum featured a large number of specialized startups in construction and related industries, making participation particularly meaningful for our university's students and staff.

Discussions on the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at universities, the role of technology in creating new products, and the paths for young teams to enter the market were particularly interesting. For the students, the trip was an excellent opportunity to learn about real-life cases and experience the atmosphere of a professional innovation community.

"The forum was not only a valuable professional experience but also a powerful source of motivation—many of the ideas and solutions discussed in Moscow will undoubtedly find their way into SPbGASU projects and initiatives," noted Veronika Nikiticheva.
