A project for young entrepreneurs in the field of technology "Starttech" was held at the site of the Alabuga special economic zone. Maryana Moryakova, a student of the Department of Synthetic Rubber Technology, and Andrey Goryachev, a graduate student of the Department of Chemical Technology of Petroleum and Gas Processing, took part in it.

The project consisted of two tracks: - the “Familiarization” track - a one-day program for young people interested in entrepreneurship, in which Maryana participated, and the “Action” track - for young entrepreneurs who worked on 10 business cases from the country's largest companies. The team, which included Andrey Goryachev, won the project - their business solutions were recognized by experts as the most effective.

The winners' case was the creation of a single platform for aggregating all tools for the development and implementation of startups at any stage. The request for such a product came from Sber. Students have developed a platform-aggregator that will be useful for startups at any stage of development. The innovators say that the product will be in demand among companies, investors and venture funds. Thanks to the solution, customers will be able to launch high-tech projects faster and more efficiently.

“The competition trials were challenging. We had to develop a solution to a real business problem in the shortest possible time. But thanks to our mentor, who became a real team leader, we coped and became winners,” said Andrey Goryachev.
