Sevastopol State University in 2022 was included in the number of 20 Russian universities that won the competition for the creation and support of their own startup studios. In Sevastopol, the studio will focus on projects in the field of information technology, microelectronics and robotics. University startup studios are a format for developing technology entrepreneurship, also known as «startup factories». The studios are focused on quickly testing business ideas from the formed bank of hypotheses and mass creation of new companies. They allow expanding work on innovative products and accelerating their time to market, as well as attracting students and young professionals to this work. Studios should become one of the tools for ensuring the economic security of Russia.
The most persistent and talented technological student teams of SevSU, having passed through the «Entrepreneurial Boiling Point» , educational programs of the accelerator, the competition for which SevGU won earlier, and trainings on entrepreneurial competencies, having received the first million to create a legal entity from the Innovation Promotion Fund (“Student Startup”) or after attracting other investments, they will be able to further develop their project in a start-up studios.
