The Certification Stage of the Startup World Cup Championship 2025 is Now Open!

Dear friends, colleagues, and partners,

I am pleased to announce the launch of the first part of the Certification Stage of the Startup World Cup Championship (SWCC) 2025. This year, the stage is once again being held online, bringing together our students from all over the world.

Today, students of MINIBOSS & BIGBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOLS presented their startup projects as part of their final certification for the academic year.

SWCC is an integral part of our unique academic methodology developed within the framework of the International Business Academy Consortium (IBAC). At the core is an innovative, game-based educational system created by the distinguished educator and scholar Olga Azarova, which enables students not only to learn about economics, business, and innovation, but to create real startups from idea to product or service launch.

Each year, students progress through one of 8 exclusive annual courses:

• MINIBOSS: ABC of Economics and Entrepreneurship
• PROFESSIONAL: Career Orientation and Success Mapping
• SUCCESSOR: Family Economics and Business
• CREATOR: Idea Generation & Creativity
• MERCHANT: Marketing Research & Development
• ENTREPRENEUR: History of Business and Innovations
• INVENTOR: Theory and Practice of Innovations
• RHETOR: Coaching, Communications and Networking

Upon completion of the course and successful presentation at SWCC, students receive certificates and diplomas, and have the opportunity to become official winners, earning international recognition and diplomas for their achievements.

We are especially proud that our students are also awarded UN Gold Medals in 17 categories, aligned with the global challenges identified in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The Startup World Cup Championship is not just a competition — it is a transformative journey that empowers young people to develop entrepreneurial thinking, teamwork, creativity, and leadership from the age of six. Each project is judged by successful entrepreneurs and global experts, giving every participant the chance to shine on the world stage.

Wishing all participants success, inspiration, and the courage to dream big!
Onward — to new victories and great achievements!

A New World is Emerging Before Our Eyes

We are living through an era of unprecedented change. Geopolitical instability, technological breakthroughs, and digital globalization are dismantling old structures and shaping a new civilization. Artificial Intelligence is not just transforming the labor market—it is reshaping the very definition of human value, competence, and competitiveness.

In this new reality, it becomes clear: the future belongs to those who are preparing themselves and their families today for life anywhere in the world—those who can adapt, ensure safety, and continue to grow.

For over 20 years, MINIBOSS & BIGBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOL has been cultivating exactly such individuals—people ready for the challenges of tomorrow. We have created a unique educational ecosystem that teaches children and youth to be independent, entrepreneurial, and globally minded.

The Success Formula of the New Era: Education + Entrepreneurship + Personal Strength

We believe that future leaders are not just entrepreneurs. They are cultural, scientific, and civic leaders—creators, builders, and protectors. That’s why MINIBOSS & BIGBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOL programs are designed as a deep personal development system, where entrepreneurship is not the goal but the tool for:

•  Uncovering talents
•  Creating a life project
•  Forming strong character
•  Mastering strategic thinking

In today’s world, where borders are becoming symbolic and adaptability is key to survival, we must educate children not for one specific profession, but for a global, multi-scenario life strategy.
