Nationwide Business Forum in Minsk

The Nationwide Business Forum is the key event of the Entrepreneurship Week in Belarus. Every year this large-scale event brings together over half a thousand people to discuss problems and business development strategies. Today, the central topic for the dialogue between entrepreneurs and government officials is work under sanctions pressure. The difficult time also opens up new opportunities, first of all, in terms of import substitution. The main thing is to be quick enough to occupy one’s niche. For those who export their products it is important to diversify to other markets. Belarus-made goods are in demand in the Russian regions. Entrepreneurs from Lithuania and Poland are also attending the event. Businesses are interested in cooperation with Belarus and do not want to lose an important partner.
