Experts dived into the topics of Asian venture funds structure, features of negotiations with partners, as well as possible ways of internationalization. 

“Assistance to Russian Far East technological projects in entering Asia-Pacific markets is a priority for Russky Technopark. Since Technopark is concentrated on the development of student technological entrepreneurship, we strive to incorporate practice-oriented, dynamic events, where the youth can learn more about cases, based on real examples. The fact that during the Meet Asia event experts shared their “live” experience of business in the Asia-Pacific region makes it a truly unique project for the Russian audience”, – highlighted Russky Technopark CEO Dmitry Borovikov.

As the project finished, participants received certificates for completion of online-course. The course is available on Russky Technopark's official YouTube channel.
