The first place was taken by the Yuzhane team of PJSC Yuzhny Kuzbass: Ivan Aleksandrovich Kravchenko (team captain), Olesya Vladimirovna Gavrilenko, Andrey Alekseevich Visnap and Evgeny Gennadievich Aksenov.

"The solution demonstrated by our team shows a possible perspective for the development of our company through the expansion of the range of new end products with further access to new markets and the development of the region as a whole. The task was related to a non-core area for us, we had to quickly master the materials, so we gained tremendous experience."- says the captain of the team  Ivan Kravchenko.

The second place went to the ROSPAN INTERNATIONAL team (Rosneft – Rospan International Oil Company). Team members: Nikita Sergeevich Kurmanchuk (team captain), Pavel Alexandrovich Zaletenko, Ruslan Azizov and Yuri Evgenievich Dolgov.

"From a professional point of view, the most interesting thing was choosing the direction in which the case needs to be solved: choose a specific technology to create technological entrepreneurship in the company or think about an environment that will help develop technological entrepreneurship. By following the second path, we were not mistaken, as the field for discussion and development of this idea is much larger.", – told Nikita Kurmanchuk.

The third place was taken by the Voltage Class team of the Kuzbass branch of Siberian Generating Company LLC: Nikita Anatolyevich Gromovsky (team captain), Vitaly Alexandrovich Kremer, Alexander Alexandrovich Aronov and Alexander Evgenievich Denisov.
