Natig Hasanov informed the forum participants about the measures of financial support provided to business entities, including small and medium-sized businesses affected by the pandemic, and also answered questions of entrepreneurs.

The mentioned forums also create additional opportunities for an international business networking with top managers and representatives of companies from the Caspian, Black Sea and Baltic regions. From April 22, B2G forums will be held online every week.
