Entrepreneurs are brave and talented people who know how to turn ideas into realized projects. They create new growth points in regions, provide cities and villages with necessary goods and services, and care for those who need support.

Entrepreneurial initiative has always been a backbone for Russia's development. Now the country is transitioning to a new economic model, based on the growth of Russian goods and services supply. This is the goal set by the President of the country – and here the key role is played by entrepreneurs.

It is also important, according to Maxim Reshetnikov, that businesses boldly enter new markets, launch new projects, offer competitive products, create high-tech manufacturing, and invest in innovations.

"I wish entrepreneurs to always find opportunities for growth, reliable partners, and effective solutions. And may your loved ones be healthy and happy and always by your side. Happy holiday!" said the minister in his greeting.
