By decision of the jury, the first place was awarded to C-Group, the second place – to MyCake and the third place – to Part-time.ge. The winning teams received monetary awards. C-Group also won the Audience Favorite award.
TSU Rector, Academician Vladimer Papava and Estonian Ambassador to Georgia Priit Turk attended the event.
“TSU School of Entrepreneurship is a very successful project of Estonian origin. Young people involved in the project had an opportunity to develop various business ideas and create their own projects. This initiative enables students to evaluate themselves, to use the knowledge acquired at the university in practice and believe in their own capabilities,” TSU Rector Vladimer Papava said.
Head of the TSU Foreign Relations Department, Tea Gergedava said: “TSU School of Entrepreneurship is a project, which is being implemented through the cooperation between the Tbilisi State University and the Estonian Foreign Ministry. The project is fully financed by the Estonian side and it aims at developing entrepreneurial skills in TSU students.”
