Five future young entrepreneurs completed an internship at the Business Incubator of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Moscow, from November 20 till December 1, 2017.

Business internships are realized within the framework of training in startup magistracy and are one of the most effective and popular forms of support for start-upers.

The director of the Business Incubator, candidate of economic sciences Ruslan Mamedov shared his knowledge.

According to Madter’s degree student Arnagul Burkut, internship is a unique professional experience for everyone who is ready to learn and enter into, who appreciates the speed of getting the skills necessary in real business. “For a short time period we managed to get an entrepreneurial experience. We visited leading venture funds and accelerators in Russia, such as: Start Track, Moscow Seed Fund, Skolkovo, Internet Initiatives Development Fund”.

Elina Pauli, second-year Master’s degree students shared her impressions. “Since the training took place in the oldest university in Russia, the atmosphere of the university historic buildings invited to a deep immersion in science. But we did not stop on the classical scheme of library research for a long time. Tasks were not simple, but creative. We conducted surveys on the streets of Moscow, analyzed clients on own business project. We got a new look at our project, found out what problems a startuper may face at different stages of implementing the idea, what is the specificity of each of the directions. I hope to use this knowledge in our Pavlodar region in the development of my business”.
