The winners of the National Competition "Entrepreneur of the Year" were awarded in Minsk

There are 35 people on the list of the best. They represent a variety of industries. The private sector of the economy makes a significant contribution to the development of the country. Last year, small and medium-sized businesses provided a quarter of Belarus' GDP, a fifth of industrial production, 40% of goods exports and more than half of services exports. This is facilitated by support from the state. This year, more than 4,400 applications were received to participate in the competition. The winners were chosen in five categories.
