Milyaev: Tula students have a loan of 1.5 million rubles to start their business

In the Tula region, the educational program “Startup Studio” for students has been completed – it has been conducted by the regional Center “My Business” since 2025. On Wednesday, November 11, said in his channel in Max the Governor of the region Dmitry Milyaev. The goal of the project is to instill basic entrepreneurial skills in young people. If last year the students of the Shchekin Polytechnic College graduated, this year the students from Donskoy graduated.

For almost a month, business coaches discussed with students the key questions of a novice entrepreneur: how to find a promising idea, draw up a business plan, study the requests of future customers and calculate costs. Each participant received a certificate following the training.

Specialists told young people about the measures of state support. Thus, entrepreneurs under 25 years old, ready to start their business under the Startup program, are available microloans up to 1.5 million rubles for up to three years at 12.5% per annum. And if the borrower provides collateral, the rate is reduced to a symbolic 1% per year.

As part of the Efficient and Competitive Economy national project, we are creating comfortable conditions for doing business in the region. We pay great attention to young entrepreneurs. It is important to help young people to reach their potential and create conditions for a successful start in business, so that they can realize their ideas and contribute to the development of the region, the governor said.

For this purpose, small and medium-sized businesses can use more than 70 services of the My Business Center for free.

The regional government, together with the My Business Center, intends to further develop educational initiatives in support of youth entrepreneurship.
