These meetings, attended by more than 1,400 entrepreneurs, focused on the current needs of businesses in sectors such as access to financial resources, tourism, livestock, tea cultivation, industry, advertising, and others. To increase the participation opportunities for entrepreneurs, some of the meetings were held online.

Sectoral and informational meetings will continue in the second half of 2025. Entrepreneurs can find information about the meetings held each month on KOBIA’s official website (https://smb.gov.az/az/events?slug=gorus).

It is worth noting that such meetings, organized with the participation of relevant government bodies, provide opportunities for direct communication with entrepreneurs, learning about their needs and suggestions on-site, informing them about existing support mechanisms, and discussing practical issues. These meetings are also important for enhancing entrepreneurs' knowledge and skills, networking, and strengthening government-business cooperation. Additionally, the proposals and feedback raised by business entities during the meetings are essential for the development of new support tools and legislative initiatives in the future.
