Russian Economic Development Minister to Judge Vnesheconombank’s Million-Rouble Idea Game Show on NTV
Maxim Oreshkin, Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, will be among the Million-Rouble Idea judges. Vnesheconombank’s televised game show premieres on NTV on 12 December. Start-ups will be competing to share a total of 60 million roubles in prize money.
Million-Rouble Idea, a game show featuring high-technology start-ups, will come out on NTV on 12 December. The three prize winners will be selected by the judges including Russian Economic Development Minister Maxim Oreshkin, Vnesheconombank’s Chairman Sergey Gorkov and Vnesheconombank’s Deputy Chairman and Member of the Board Alexey Ivanchenko, along with business leaders, the heads of development institutions providing support for high-technology start-ups and television celebrities.
“Entrepreneurs are those who take risks, generate new ideas and advance the Russian economy. I hope that the show will inspire start-up confidence, thus contributing to economic growth. There are special funds that select start-ups and young inventors with ingenious ideas and provide them with financing. I am sure that the game show will open up business opportunities for some of the contestants,” Maxim Oreshkin said.
Hosted by Sergey Malozyomov, the new television game show will feature 35 innovation projects in industrial production, information technology, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and energy-efficient technology. The contestants presented a wide range of ideas and solutions that can become part of everyday life in the near future: portable cinemas, bionic prostheses, personal air conditioners, stroke risk tests and dozens of other start-up projects.
The Vnesheconombank-sponsored Million-Rouble Idea game show is intended to select the best innovation business projects. More than 500 start-ups applied for participation, and only 35 of them were longlisted. The first season of Million-Rouble Idea will begin on 12 December on NTV. For two weeks, the judges will evaluate start-up innovation and commercialisation. Seven projects will go through to the final of the show, three of them becoming the prize winners eligible for 25, 20 and 15 million roubles for business development.
