The tone in this direction is set by 2017, announced in Pridnestrovie the Year of the Entrepreneur.

Stories of beginning entrepreneurs are of great interest. They inspire those who dream of starting their own business. Ivan Khodakovsky - is a young entrepreneur who organized a small enterprise in 2016 - OOO "Tech Design", whose products are already known and in demand.

"Tech Design" realizes its inventions, produces multifunctional chargers for mobile phones in original design. According to the director of the enterprise Ivan Khodakovsky, this is the only producer of this kind in Pridnestrovie. There is already an assortment of goods, but the production is in small series, mostly on order. The plans are to expand the market and implement new ideas.

Participation in the project "Business mentoring-2", organized by CCI of Pridnestrovie helped to open the business to the young man. Having passed the competitive selection, the beneficiaries of the project were 16 start-up entrepreneurs. Ivan's business plan attracted attention. The young inventor was provided with a grant for the purchase of equipment under the UNDP program. Ivan purchased two necessary machines, assembled a team of like-minded people, registered a company and started working.

"Tech Design" Ltd today is located in a small room on the territory of the once famous souvenir factory Luchafarul. The company employs 4 people: a director, an accountant, a chief engineer and an artist-designer. The team looks forward to the future with enthusiasm.

The Pridnestrovian entrepreneur thinks about telling his ideas to young people. Ivan Khodakovsky shared his memory: as a schoolboy, he was lucky to become a student of a talented engineer from “The Electromash” plant, who introduced Ivan to automatic machines, showed by experience how everything works. After that, the young man took a great interest in programming and understood what he wanted to become.

The young entrepreneur is ready for an open dialogue with the state, cooperation and joint projects.
