At the moment all young projects are at the R&D stage. Before participating in the Program most of the projects were at the idea stage only, as their authors had no money for project realization. The Innovative Projects Program “IDEA-1000” gave them a chance to fulfil their business-idea.
Before the “IDEA-1000” started, there were no works on this project during the whole year, - said one of the Program participants Ramil Kuleev. And now Ramil is going to set his own business.
