Smolensk businessmen invited to take part in the award “Entrepreneur of the year – 2026”

The final stage of accepting applications for the All-Russian award “Entrepreneur of the Year – 2026” will last until November 30. The organizers invite owners and managers of large, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as self-employed (the category is included since 2024) to present the achievements of their companies and regional brands at the federal level.

Participation in the award is an opportunity to increase brand awareness, strengthen business reputation and gain expert evaluation on six key indices: economic growth, awareness, innovation, sales efficiency, social responsibility and management competencies.

In 2026, 38 nominations are envisaged, including new directions: “Unmanned Systems”, “Traditional Craft”, “Own Business”, “Autobusiness”, “Creative Industry”, “Media” and “Development of Domestic Tourism”. Special awards are also preserved: “Breakthrough of the Year” and a unique passing award “Business from the Heart” in the form of a scarlet heart on a marble pedestal.

The award ceremony will be held in May 2027 after a detailed analysis of the annual reporting and evaluation of participants. Applications are accepted exclusively through electronic form on the official website of the award.
