We regularly host open events with Forbes-listed billionaires and top figures from Russia’s business scene. These events are for anyone eager to grow as an entrepreneur and learn from the best. Learn more about the event formats below.
Private Events
Exclusive, behind-the-scenes meetings with founders of Russia’s largest companies, held as roundtables, business sessions, and informal gatherings—only for members of the Private Club.
HSE Business Club Forum
The flagship HSE Business Club Forum is held annually in celebration of Russian Entrepreneurship Day.

The Forum is a major event in the business world, bringing together multiple formats: Open Talks with Forbes-listed speakers, panel discussions addressing current industry challenges, Q&A sessions with leading entrepreneurs, workshops hosted by partner companies, project presentations in front of expert panels, opportunities to connect with partners and like-minded peers to bring ideas to life.

Open Talk
A discussion with a Forbes-listed speaker takes place in the Big Hall of HSE Cultural Center.

Open Talk is your chance to meet an influential entrepreneur face-to-face and gain invaluable insights drawn from their years of experience.

Entrepreneurial Lecture Series
A brand-new format of regular events, held approximately once a month at the HSE Graduate School of Business.

The Entrepreneurial Lecture Series is a space where you can ask practical, hands-on questions to speakers and receive valuable advice from industry experts.
Panel Discussion
Held in the Big Hall of the HSE Cultural Center, a Panel Discussion brings together several speakers from the same industry.

Guided by the moderator’s questions, the speakers engage in a lively, insight-packed discussion, full of ideas and valuable advice.

Private Meetings
Exclusive events for members of the Club’s Private Section — a platform for sharing knowledge and experience among participants. In an intimate setting, discussions are held with leading experts and entrepreneurs, offering unique insights and opportunities to establish valuable connections.

Informal Gatherings
A great opportunity for networking in a relaxed atmosphere.

We take part in joint sports and creative pursuits, socialise, and unwind productively.

International Trips
Group travels offer a chance to establish international connections and immerse yourself in a different business culture. We visit leading global business schools, innovative companies, startup hubs, and meet with successful entrepreneurs from around the world.
