08.06.2008
Representatives of MEGA Holding participated as jury members in the national championship “Students in Free Enterprise – SIFE,” held on May 30, 2008.
It should be noted that this championship has been organized since 2006 within the framework of the State Program “Azerbaijani Youth” (2005 – 2009), signed by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.
The “Students in Free Enterprise – SIFE” project is an international program founded in 1976 by American universities. More than 50 countries participate annually in the world championships held as part of the program. Since 2006, Azerbaijan has also earned the right to participate in these international competitions.
This year, with the support of the Ministry of Youth and Tourism, 11 student teams from Azerbaijan’s higher educational institutions took part in the national championship, presenting 39 projects. Based on the decision of the jury, including representatives of MEGA Holding, the SIFE team of the Azerbaijan State University of Economics was awarded the title of champion.
A team of 20 students earned the right to represent Azerbaijan at the World Championship to be held in Singapore on October 1 – 3, 2008.
Being part of the State Program “Azerbaijani Youth,” this competition plays a highly important role in the development of entrepreneurship and the training of new professionals in our country. MEGA Holding highly values and supports the efforts of President Ilham Aliyev aimed at strengthening the role of youth in Azerbaijan’s economic potential, promoting entrepreneurial ideas, and developing organizational skills among young professionals.
Several talented students who took part in the championship will be invited to work at MEGA Holding after completing their higher education. In the future, we will continue to encourage young people to engage in entrepreneurial activities and actively participate in the economic life of the country.
