From November 16 to 20, 2026, the Belarusian Ministry of Economy will host the Belarusian Entrepreneurship Week. Hundreds of events will take place across the country, offering everyone an opportunity to participate actively. The Zhlobin district is no exception.

Speaking to ND journalists, Olga Prokhrova, Deputy Chairwoman of the Zhlobin District Executive Committee, said that the events would bring together representatives from government agencies, businesses, small and medium-sized enterprise support infrastructure, educational institutions, and proactive citizens.

“As of October 1, 2026, there were 2,122 registered small and medium-sized enterprises in the Zhlobin district. The majority of these enterprises operate in trade and services (68.8%), industry (9.1%), transport (13%), construction (6.6%), and agriculture, forestry, and fishing (2.5%). I’d like to note that over the past nine months, 38 new enterprises have been established, 15 of which are manufacturing companies,” said Olga Leonidovna.

Zhlobin also has 136 registered individual entrepreneurs, and as of October 1, 2026, there were 2,449 individuals engaged in entrepreneurial activities without being registered as individual entrepreneurs.

During Entrepreneurship Week, the Small Business Incubator LLC “Klever BAY” will continue its efforts to support the development of small and medium-sized businesses by assisting in the organization and implementation of entrepreneurial activities.

The Zhlobin district will present a five-day program that combines youth initiatives, tourism potential, and local business success stories.

As part of this, economics department specialists will host a direct telephone line and provide consultations on business registration. A Day of Open Doors will be held at the Tourist Information Center and at the private trading enterprise “Vavilontorg.” Seminars and workshops will bring together the youth business community.

The week will conclude on November 20 with a networking event, “Blogger+Business: Dialogue on Promotion,” and participation in the award ceremony for the winners of the National Competition “Entrepreneur of the Year.”
