The winning list featured a total of 27 works out of 72 submitted for the contest, and their authors received diplomas and presents.

Moreover, the winners, their parents and teachers had a dedicated guide tour through “Rameev” technopark, including a visit to “NanoElectroLab” youth innovation center, “Operator Elektronnovo Pravitelstva” and the technology commercialization center.

“One of the points in economic development is the fact that too few people are involved in business. To remind you, doing business is an independent for-profit initiative of the citizens themselves. I think we need to teach people to dare to do business, show their initiative and creativity right in the kindergarten. To do that, we attract the children to take part in the contest,” Valery Bespalov, deputy chairman of the Penza region government, commented on the event.

The regional drawing contest for school students “Business World As Seen By Children” was first held in 2014, the press service of the regional Industry Ministry told PenzaNews agency.

“This year, it was held from October 12 to December 7 in two stages: first in city residential areas and Penza region municipal areas, then in the region overall,” the officials said.
