The competition will be held on the initiative of the Mayor of the city Ilsur Metshin. </p> <p> “It is most difficult for startup developers to find financial support now – said I.Shakirov. – We decided to provide them with 20 grants of 300 thousand rubles on a competitive basis for projects aimed at improving the urban economy". </p> <p> In addition, at the request of representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, it was decided to allocate additional funds to subsidize the costs of certification of goods and services of small and medium-sized businesses. </p> <p> “It is important for entrepreneurs who need certification of goods, but lack of money for this”, - explained I.Shakirov. </p> <p> Competitions for grant support for startups and subsidizing the costs of certification for entrepreneurs are planned to be announced in August. </p> <p> Grant support will allow entrepreneurs not only to start business, but also to implement useful initiatives for the city, said the head of the Executive Committee Rustem Gafarov. </p>
