Defense Day at the Growth Point
The "Growth Point" space at SPbGASU hosted the presentation of student startup concepts, which are being developed as part of the "Startup as a Diploma" program.
Nineteen teams presented their ideas in the areas of construction technologies, digital solutions, and engineering services. The projects were distinguished by their practical focus, relevance, and creative approach to solving industry challenges.
The projects presented included: "Code.ak" – a platform for student IT solutions (authors Andrey Kornyushin, Kirill Fershtadt, and Vadim Koptsov); "maps4people" – a cross-platform web application for intelligent navigation inside buildings and complexes (Kirill Tishunin, Danila Luttsev); a biometric control system for occupational safety (Natalya Chernyakova, Veronika Mikhelson, Alexandra Kolesova, Sofia Myagkaya); "PARAMETERS" – an automated calculation of development parameters according to urban planning regulations (Sergey Popov); an AI assistant for construction optimization (Nikita Kashcheev, Ksenia Pisareva); a digital platform for the rental and sale of construction machinery and equipment (Alexey Titavnin, Bogdan Yakovenko), and others.
The students' work was evaluated by experts—faculty and industry partners of the university. They noted the high level of preparation of the participants and the practical significance of the ideas presented.
Ekaterina Abolina, Director of the Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Careers at SPbGASU, noted the growing student interest in the program: "Last year, 13 teams participated, and this year, 19. Every year, more and more students are showing initiative and striving to realize their ideas as startups. This is a good indicator that the entrepreneurial environment at the university is developing and becoming more active."
