This is an outside online event – please register at https://cerbanet.org/event-3810798.

Were you born in Eurasia (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan)? Do you speak Russian? Do you manage an established business in Canada? Are you employed or attended a university in Canada? Are you currently developing a project related to the countries of Eurasia (export/import of services and goods)?  The more of these criteria apply to you the better potential assistant you are to the Eurasian small businesses.

Moreover, you are a part of a drive mechanism to facilitate the export of Eurasian small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), ease their experience of interacting with foreigners and make Eurasia appealing for global businesses.

As this only becomes possible with your close occupational interaction and business communication with them, depending on your background, we invite you to assist Eurasian SMEs as a volunteer in the following roles: entrepreneur, skilled professional, matchmaker, brand ambassador, advisor/consultant,  coach/mentor, lawyer, interpreter, researcher, and investor.

The Eurasian diaspora project and the Virtual consultation round are supported by the Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies of Carleton University.

The event will take place predominantly in Russian with a slight support in English.
