Caspian Demo Festival of Startup Projects Gathers over 1,000 Viewers

The two-day event has brought together active, ambitious young people from the Caspian countries, who are ready to develop new breakthrough ideas in the field of technological and social entrepreneurship.

The large-scale international event was opened by Rector of Astrakhan State University Konstantin Markelov.

“An important task of startup festivals is to provide the opportunity to unite young researchers who think about creating something new and about ways to offer the developed product to investors. I hope our platform will be successful and become annual,” the rector of Astrakhan State University addressed his colleagues.

The speakers of the event told the audience about how to manage a startup, see the development trajectories, communicate in the language of investment, think correctly and attract investors, as well as how to present projects correctly. According to the organizers, the members of each team were assigned to different tracks so that each competitor had the opportunity to bring new knowledge and successfully present a product on the eve of defending their ideas.

Another important event was the opening of the Club of Thinking at Astrakhan State University; this regional space will unite people interested in the development of thinking and addressing intellectual and practical tasks.
