A first-year master’s student of the State University of Management, Danila Yakovlev, took second place at the SCO Olympiad as part of the international festival “100 Future Innovators,” held in Tashkent.
A young man joined the Russian delegation as an ambassador and winner of the “Startup as a Diploma” contest of 2025, as well as the founder of a company for secondary raw material processing called Ecogroup.
At the Danila festival, developed products and technologies were demonstrated, which received high expert evaluations and brought the author second place at the SCO Olympiad. The entrepreneur also held negotiations with potential partners on exporting products from Russia to Uzbekistan.
In addition, Danila Yakovlev, together with Kristina Alekseeva, a specialist from the Project Office for the Development of Youth Entrepreneurship in Higher Education within the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, told visitors of the exhibition about the student startup, the experience of participating in the ‘Startup as a Diploma’ competition, and the opportunities that the project provides to young entrepreneurs.
“Representatives of Uzbekistan showed interest in our Russian developments, including in the system of higher education. For example, in the ability to validate their diplomas in a startup format. The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation of the Republic of Uzbekistan visited us, and we also discussed this matter with him. They really liked the organization of the festival and the friendly atmosphere, where representatives of all participating countries felt relaxed and comfortable,” shared Danila Yakovlev’s impressions.
The international festival “100 Future Innovators” was organized with the aim of strengthening cooperation among the member states of the SCO in the fields of higher education, science, and innovation. The festival combined a forum, a startup competition, and other activities aimed at the development of youth innovation and technological entrepreneurship.
Congratulations to Danila Yakovlev on the new achievement and we wish him successful development and further victories!
