Sber, with the support of the Agency of Strategic Initiatives, scaled the SberZ school accelerator for the whole Russia. The Accelerator helps teenagers develop 21st century skills and learn the basics of entrepreneurship: they will be able to go through the entire cycle of creating their own business - from generating an idea to launching a project.
The pilot of the programme was launched in four schools of Moscow in 2019. Since 2021, students of grades 8-11 of any school in the country can become participants of the accelerator. For this purpose they should submit an application on the website https://sber-z.sberclass.ru/ before March 15.
Due to the SberZ accelerator, students:
• learn to create their own project from scratch and work in a team;
• find new friends and build networking that will help them in the future;
• will be able to receive offers of cooperation from partner companies and business angels, the Sberbank ecosystem, as well as preferences from the country's leading universities.
