In August, regional stages of the program will be held in Astrakhan, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk regions, the Republic of Khakassia, Kamchatka Krai and other regions. Another 39 regions will conduct the program in September. In 2025, the program will be held in 70 regions.
"To date, we have already received more than 4 thousand applications for participation in the program, but we expect a large flow in the near future, since the program is to be held in 55 more regions. In 2025, special attention within the program is paid to the development of projects in priority sectors of the economy: manufacturing, IT, tourism, agriculture, and creative industries. The priority of applications aimed at key industries has been increased, special tracks have appeared for businesses in historically significant regions, the grant amount has been increased to 150 thousand rubles to increase financial support for projects. But we see that women are trying to include a social component in their business projects – from preserving cultural memory to supporting families with special needs and developing local communities," said Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.
Women with minor children or those on maternity leave can take part in the program. The main condition is a ready-made business project or idea at the launch stage, the implementation period is up to one year. Registration takes place on the website mamapredprinimatel.rf.
Each regional stage is a week of intensive training from certified trainers of the My Business Centers. Participants master key entrepreneurial skills — from business planning to marketing and attracting clients. The program includes mentoring sessions with current entrepreneurs, individual consultations, and project defense before an expert jury. The winners of the regional stages receive grant support for business development.
The "Mom-entrepreneur" program continues to help women implement their business ideas. Among the new projects is an online school in Khabarovsk Krai for parents of children with hearing impairments, created by Lyubov Stitskaya, a teacher of the deaf with 10 years of experience. She is the mother of a child with cochlear implants.
"I understand these parents not only as a specialist and teacher, but also as a mother. This is how my project was born, and now it will be implemented, because this grant will go towards recording video lessons," the winner said.
Another unusual project from the Altai region is a workshop for creating furniture and decor from cardboard and packaging materials. Kristina Pautova, a mother of two, already produces lamps, vases and interior items under the brand "PAUTOVA".
"You shouldn't completely go into self-realization. It won't work out that you're a mother in the morning and a master at night. It's important to try to involve children in your favorite activity, to interest them. Then you won't have to be torn between work and family!", explained Kristina Pautova. A new line of souvenir ceramics inspired by the city's architecture has appeared in Pskov. The author of the project is ceramic artist and mother of three children Elena Makarova. She creates mugs with handles in the form of elements of local landmarks. Each product comes with a QR code with historical information. The project has already received support at the regional stage of the "Tourist Souvenir" competition.
Olga Smirnova from the Komi Republic presented a major agricultural project — industrial cultivation of black currants. In the coming years, it is planned to plant 20 hectares, and in the future — to expand the plantations to 60 hectares.
"The project is already underway – I will plant the seedlings in the fall. And knowledge, contacts and a grant are a powerful resource for the start," shared Olga Smirnova. In addition, the program includes holding separate thematic tracks. Thus, in Krasnodar Krai, the track "Mom in the village" was held, in Tyumen Oblast, for the second year in a row, a course for mothers of many children is being held.
At the end of the year, 25-30 winners of the regional stages will meet at the final stage of the program, where they will be able to compete for grants of 1 million, 500 thousand and 250 thousand rubles.
The federal program "Mom-entrepreneur" is included in the list of instruments of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy". You can find out the dates of the regional stage and apply for participation in the program on the website mamapredprinimatel.rf.
