Interview
– Let's talk about your motivation to participate in the APEC BEST AWARD?
– Participation in the event was motivated by the desire to compare my project with other successful and implemented projects in other economies, share my professional skills, and learn from the experience of others. And my expectations were met. The impressions received at the APEC BEST AWARD competition gave a boost of self-confidence, a sense of reliable people nearby, and the energy of creation. The recommendations of the jury members were useful, as they contained information about modern requirements and trends in business organization, issues of improving the environment, further digitalization of the enterprise, and opportunities for business development due to stable production quality.
– Do you continue to communicate with experts or participants of the APEC BEST AWARD event now?
– Communication with experts and participants of the event continues. The meetings held within the framework of the competition became an incentive to develop relations. There were ideas of joint cooperation with participants from other countries who attended the APEC BEST AWARD event.
– Evaluate the business situation before your participation in the APEC BEST AWARD event and currently (financial situation and image) (General situation)?
– I rate participation in this project as positive. Winning the APEC BEST Award 2018 for women entrepreneurs in the" project of the fourth industrial revolution " category certainly contributed to the growth of a positive image, both in terms of product promotion on the market, and in financial support from government agencies and banks.
Winning the competition also increased the motivation of the team, as it is a good argument in the policy of promoting products, improving the image and attractiveness of the company. The company is increasing its turnover, developing production of new types of products in the pharmaceutical industry.
In my opinion, such events are the strongest motivators for women entrepreneurs in the process of organizing their own business. Real examples of successfully implemented projects give them confidence in their own strength, give them an impetus to implement their own projects, and strengthen the role of existing enterprises in the development of the economy as a whole. Women entrepreneurs need to promote their projects more actively in competitions and try to study other successful examples of women.
