Kazan OIC Youth Entrepreneurship ONLINE Forum youth entrepreneurship activity. The 2020 Kazan Forum is intended for early-stage startups with proven MVPs from the OIC region. These startups typically would have raised a family and friends round or no funding at all. The reality of the coronavirus pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of the world as well as the opportunities for technology to help mitigate many problems.

Origanizers

The organizers of the annual Kazan – OIC Youth Entrepreneurship Forum are the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan, Eurasian Regional Center of Islamic Cooperation Youth Forum (ICYF-ERC), Tatarstan Republic Youth Social Fund “Selet”. The Forum will be in partnership with the Academy of Youth Diplomacy and Kazan IT Park, among others.
