The fourth season of the "Know Our" brand competition has started in Russia.

      The acceptance of applications for the fourth annual "Know Our Own" competition, aimed at supporting growing domestic brands, is now open. Small and medium-sized enterprises from the food production, clothing, cosmetics, household goods sectors, as well as technology companies, are invited to participate. A special emphasis in the new season is placed on developers of solutions in the fields of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance agriculture, future energy, and transportation infrastructure. A number of separate nominations are provided for technology brands.

      The main requirements for applicants are a localization share of production of at least 30% and a stable positive sales trend. The selection of participants and determination of finalists will take place in several stages, and the solemn award ceremony for the winners is scheduled for July.

      The winners of the competition will receive individual consultations from business experts, assistance with entering marketplaces and retail networks, access to educational programs, membership in professional associations, support in attracting investments, as well as extensive informational support. In addition, the winners can count on assistance from VEB.RF for the implementation of their projects.

      The organizers note that the competition has already established itself as an effective tool for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Participants from small towns and rural areas receive an additional chance to make themselves known at the federal level, which contributes to the development of territories. The geography of the project expands with each season, and the quality of the presented brands is steadily increasing.
