Krasnoyarsk Launches Mompreneur Program with 150,000-Ruble Grants for Women
Krasnoyarsk Region Launches Applications for 2026 "Mompreneur" Program
The Krasnoyarsk Territory has begun accepting applications for the regional stage of the federal Mompreneur program, offering women with business ambitions the chance to gain valuable expertise and compete for a cash prize to grow their ventures.
Participants will learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, receive guidance from industry experts and established business owners, tour successful local companies, and pitch their projects—with the top proposal winning a 150,000-ruble grant.
The key requirement is a viable business idea with real potential.
Last year's winner, Olga Muss, earned high marks from the jury for her natural-fiber knitwear brand, securing a 150,000-ruble certificate that helped her scale production.
The regional round will take place at Krasnoyarsk's My Business Center from August 17 to 21. Applications are open at mamapredprinimatel.ru. Training and project presentations are in-person, with no participation fee. For inquiries, call the hotline at 8-800-234-0-124.
"This year, mothers whose businesses have operated for no more than three years by the end of 2026 can apply—previously, the limit was one year," noted Roman Martynov, head of Krasnoyarsk's Agency for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Development. "The program helps participants build core business skills, access startup capital, and find professional mentorship."
Mompreneur is supported by the Union of Women of Russia under the Efficient and Competitive Economy national project. The Krasnoyarsk organizer is the regional My Business Center, in partnership with the local SME development agency.
