Opera Startup Awards begins!

    Probably, many remember Opera university tours, within which company employees came to various universities in many cities of Russia, from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg. It was interesting, but always wanted something more. Well, the time has come - for the first time in the history of Opera Software, we are organizing something more serious for universities than just the presentation of new technologies and software products. In a nutshell, we decided to give students a chance not only to come up with an interesting idea, but also to work it out in detail, prepare a prototype and, possibly, even start their own project, including a commercial one, with the support of our company.

    Together with the Department of Technological Entrepreneurship and Innovation ManagementSaint-Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) and the MTE Master Program (ITMO), we announce a unique competition - Opera Startup Awards for students of St. Petersburg universities. The competition consists of several stages, the first of which has already started on April 15. A series of master classes will also be held as part of the first stage from April 20 to 23. At the workshops you will have the opportunity to:
    - discuss the problems and needs of Russian and foreign users with the vice president of Opera Software Johan Borg,
    - get effective web development skills from Opera standards director Charles McCathieNevile ,
    - learn from the development manager of Opera in Russia and the CIS Ilya Shpankov how to make money using a free browser
    - create an idea for the project and find a team

    More detailed information about the competition is available on the project’s special website . Registration of participants is still open, but I advise you to hurry - the number of places is limited.
