We thank the partners and sponsors of «Build your own business»!

We want to express our deep gratitude to all friends, partners and sponsors of the contest "Build your own business"!

This year, the contest has a new partner in the face of the well-known multinational company Microsoft. Microsoft is a global leader in software, services and solutions that help people reach their potential. The company acted as a contest mentor. The finalists will be given the opportunity to visit the Microsoft office, where the corporation's specialists will conduct training lectures for them and introduce them to the work of the company.

Like last year, we are supported by Ernst & Young, a British audit and consulting company, one of the largest in the world (one of the “Big Four” audit companies). The activities of this global corporation are aimed at building confidence in business, sustainable growth and development of talent in all its manifestations. The company has already held a series of lectures for our finalists and graduates, and has also provided 5 certificates for training at HR and business academies of Ernst & Young.

Special thanks to the private investor, Mahat Rashit Mukaramovich, the founder of Powerry. This year he supported our competition. The sum of funds contributed by Mr. Mahat to the total prize fund of the competition amounted to 10 million tenge. This allowed us to increase the number of grants and support more projects.

We thank Alisher Yelikbaev, Beibit Alibekov and all members of their media teams for participating in the organization of the contest and its information coverage.

And, of course, our sincere gratitude to the permanent sponsors, for 7 years financing the project “Build your own business”, to Vyacheslav Kim and Kenes Rakishev. Their contribution to the development of young entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan over the years amounted to more than $ 1.5 million!
