The architecture of the Day of Young Entrepreneurs of the Caucasian Investment Forum — 2026, which will be held on April 28, has been published. The event will be held at the Minvodyexpo Exhibition Center and will bring together representatives of youth entrepreneurship, development institutions, government authorities and the expert community. The Forum is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.

The Day of Young Entrepreneurs will become part of the CIF-2026 business program and will be aimed at creating conditions for the development of entrepreneurial activity among young people, supporting promising initiatives, startup projects and small and medium-sized businesses. The architecture of the day is built taking into account the key stages of becoming an entrepreneur — from the formation of an idea to its practical implementation and scaling.

"The formation of systemic support for young entrepreneurs is an important direction for the development of the business environment. The presented architecture of the Day of Young Entrepreneurs is focused on creating conditions for unlocking the potential of young people, engaging in entrepreneurial activities and forming sustainable business models," said Alexander Novak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.

The program of the Day of Young Entrepreneurs includes a plenary session and business sessions on the issues of the economy of the future, innovative development, digitalization, tourism and energy. Participants will be able to learn from experts about key trends, promising areas of development and get an idea of the possibilities of integration into the economic processes of the region.

"Special attention during the Day will be paid to practice-oriented formats that allow participants not only to gain new knowledge, but also to apply it in their work on their own projects. Interaction with experts and business representatives contributes to the formation of applied skills and the development of entrepreneurial thinking," said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, Executive Secretary of the KIF—2026 Organizing Committee.

The architecture of the youth program includes interactive formats: laboratories of the future of the North Caucasus Federal District — within the framework of this format, participants will work out practical tasks. After that, a startup competition will be held, aimed at identifying and supporting promising entrepreneurial initiatives. An interactive event will be held for small and medium-sized businesses: The Entrepreneur's Way, where there will be an opportunity to ask questions to speakers. The day will end with an award ceremony: "Young Entrepreneurs of the Caucasus: investing in the future."

"Young people should be able to immediately put their knowledge into practice. During the Day of Young Entrepreneurs at KIF, participants will be able to go all the way — from an idea to working out their own project, get feedback from experts and understand how to move on. This format helps to form business projects, immediately assess their real prospects and potentially identify investors, and look for parties interested in their implementation," said Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.

The Day of Young Entrepreneurs will become a platform for exchanging experiences, establishing business contacts and discussing topical issues of entrepreneurship development. The implementation of the presented architecture is aimed at creating conditions for the long-term involvement of young people in economic activity and the formation of new growth points.
