Last week the Megasport Sport Palace hosted the Young Entrepreneur of Moscow forum, with 10,000 university students, as well as school students attending the event. Various teams worked on their projects nonstop, under the guidance of instructors.

Members of an 11-person team, including five boys and six girls, won the competition with their proposal for a café inspired by the Marvel Comics Universe. If it is set up, the café will offer superhero burgers. This team’s captain is a first-year student at the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, and the youngest member is an 11th form student at a local school. The team’s members will now be able to train at a business accelerator from late February under part two of the Business Weekend project, learning in-depth business skills.

Other teams suggested no less interesting ideas, including a mobile service that would allow users to navigate the most popular shopping malls and to learn about various discounts, a website that tested and trained modern artists and VR (Virtual Reality) educational software.

The latest forum is the final stage of the first cycle of training sessions and quests under the Business Weekend project for successful youth startups. Over 12,000 people attended its weekend quests and intensive courses during the first three months of its work. The top-scoring students will later train at a business accelerator.
