On May 15th, 2026, the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry hosted a roundtable discussion titled "Grants vs. Preferences: Which is More Profitable?" Alexander Gusev, Senior Associate at Mosgo & Partners, was in attendance.

The speaker lineup included both active private investors and representatives from various government agencies. Participants shared practical insights regarding different methods of state support for entrepreneurship in Russia.

The discussion addressed several critical considerations. It was noted that grants and preferences should not be viewed as charity; utilizing them entails significant obligations to the state and specific legal risks that entrepreneurs must evaluate when determining their project implementation strategies.

Following the formal proceedings, attendees engaged in networking, which provided an opportunity to expand their professional contacts and explore new business possibilities.
