Now closer to the topic topic - we certainly plan to expand our activities and above all we consider Internet projects as the main and closest direction for us to expand the scope of activities.
To do this, we are looking for courageous independent people with extraordinary ideas and determination to translate them into reality. One of the first and most important criteria in evaluating a project is how confident the author is of success, but of course, it is equally important that the author adequately assesses the prospects for his project, the project’s market niche and competitive environment. It is desirable that the author of the project could give a clear description of the target audience, create a plan for the development and promotion of the project.

• Large teams of developers, including those interested in creating a joint venture to implement a large-scale project.

In general, we consider each project individually; therefore, it is rather difficult to identify a clear framework of projects of interest to us, however, the general indicators of projects of interest to us are as follows:
