On 29 April 2026, a series of business seminars for aspiring entrepreneurs, held as part of the “Small Business School 2026: Laboratory of Success” programme, came to a successful conclusion. The theme of the meeting was “Final Lecture: The Path to Success as an Entrepreneur”. The programme brought together motivated young people and military personnel keen to develop their own businesses, and served as an effective platform for acquiring theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of entrepreneurship.
