Rustam Minnikhanov highly appreciated the quality of training of students who independently designed and built an automated line for the preparation and processing of wood materials. This production line is equipped with the most modern equipment and meets all the criteria of industry 4.0.

«Every industrial company in our country needs personnel. «Alabuga Polytech», where we are now, is a good example to look up to. We need to pull up all colleges and higher educational institutions to such a level», said the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov.

Creating new production facilities is not an easy task, it is necessary to teach the basics of business to children from school age. The students should understand that it is difficult to produce, and it is even more difficult to sell.

The Ministries of Education, Economy, Industry and Trade jointly with Alabuga have developed a training simulator «Business cats». During the event, Rustam Minnikhanov supported the launch of the Republican Entrepreneurship Olympiad for the prize of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan among grades 9-11.
