What could be better for an entrepreneur than attending a major exhibition and walking away with new connections, partnerships, and contracts? Especially when professionals help you do it for free.

Yes, that’s possible — by contacting entrepreneurship support centres that offer free services under government programmes.

For companies, this support is a real key to the industry: it helps them promote products, enter domestic markets, and go global.

Once again, Sberbank, Russia’s largest financial institution, is the strategic partner of the event.

By doing this, support centres also achieve their own goals — creating favourable conditions for business, increasing their region’s visibility, and boosting export figures.

At the 19th Interfabric‑2026.Spring exhibition, companies from five business support centres took part. Here they are.

1. Entrepreneurship Support Fund of the Lugansk People’s Republic

Founded in 2023 under the Small and Medium Enterprises and Support for Individual Entrepreneurial Initiatives national project,

the fund offers advice on patents, licences, certificates, financial and property support, help with e‑marketplace listings, and participation in educational and exhibition events.

2. Vladimir Region Business Incubator

The Incubator helps startups take off and scale up, offering subsidised premises, postal and secretarial services, advice on taxes, accounting, loans, legal protection, business planning, training, professional development, and access to information databases.

3. Export Support Centre of the Sverdlovsk Regional Entrepreneurship Support Fund

Set up in 2011 to help SMEs reach foreign markets. Its work covers acceleration, trade missions, exhibitions, export training, contract support, and international product certification.

4. My Business Centre — Republic of Tatarstan Entrepreneurship Support Fund
