importance of the event in terms of interaction among fuel and energy
corporations and the younger generation: “Today, children are already

interested in establishing communication to attract talented specialists in the
future. That is why we decided to create a platform for a dialogue between the
younger generation and the biggest industrial corporations in the country.”
