It promotes job creation and implementation of new technologies," said Andrey Pozhalov, director of the Russian Entrepreneur Of The Year program. "Participants in Russia have distinguished themselves not only through the expertise achieved through their hard work, but also for their strategic vision, leadership and proactive approach to their businesses. They follow the principles of openness and transparency in their work, they do responsible business, they give substantial attention to corporate governance issues, training and development of their staff, raising the competitive advantage of Russian goods and services, and continuous personal development. Most awardees this year are entrepreneurs whose businesses have grown over the last five to eight years and have been successfully developing in various regions of Russia. In holding the national Entrepreneur Of The Year program as part of the international contest of the same name, we strive to find and celebrate in this country and abroad the bright and talented businesspeople who achieved success in the Russian market and are now entering the international entrepreneurial community, thus promoting a more favorable business image of Russia in the world.”
