Reviews
I am grateful for the organization of such a program, where I was able to get the most necessary and interesting information in the shortest possible time!

SkLab is a great opportunity to upgrade your business idea from scratch: analyze and segment the target audience, find all the strengths and weaknesses of the project, as well as take part in teamwork and exchange experiences. For me, the most valuable thing during the laboratory was the opportunity to get feedback from the teacher, this is really important at the initial stage. Such projects are a unique opportunity for business development.

The SkLab idea generation laboratory is a place where you can get professional expertise for your project from the smartest analysts and experts in our country. If you are lucky enough to be near them, then just take a notebook with a pen and write down everything that they tell you.

The SkLab program is a good platform for developing competencies in the field of business project formation. During these 3 short days, I found a lot of like-minded people, met very intellectually developed people and heard a bunch of cool topics for developing my own startup.
Artem Lyulyov
Graduate of the "SkLab. Saransk"
The SkLab program helped students from different universities come together to create a common project. We acquired not only useful knowledge, but also interesting acquaintances. I would like to thank the speakers who provided complex and extensive material in an interesting and understandable format.

Graduate of the "SkLab. Ivanovo"
Our project solves the problem of saving time on drawing up a conclusion on the technical examination of design engineers and survey engineers, simplifying and accelerating the process of compiling reports, and subsequently, making a profit for organizations involved in the technical examination of buildings and structures. The SkLab program helped me find like-minded people and gain confidence in public speaking.
Dmitry Pavlov
Graduate of the "SkLab. Ivanovo"
The program is very interesting and useful, the most extraordinary ideas, the most diverse people who are ready and willing to work together will find shelter here.
Alexander Korobkin
Graduate of the "SkLab. Ugra"
The SkLab program gave incredible opportunities in terms of ideological assault. During these three days, our team and I got an experience that many people do not get in their entire lives.
Maria Kotik
Graduate of the "SkLab. Ugra"
Think globally – act locally, this principle is important not only for an environmentalist, but also for any proactive person. But how to monetize the idea of changing the world? It was this question that the OpenUSk program helped me answer.

It was interesting to go to the finals of the SkLab. GreenTech in Skolkovo, learn a lot of interesting things about startups, talk with experts, listen to their advice and recommendations about your project!
