Within the project, startups will have the opportunity to collaborate with venture funds and professional mentors from the world's leading innovation ecosystems.
The "Startup School 4" project is implemented with the support of local ecosystem partners – "Caucasus Ventures," "SABAH.HUB," Innoland Incubation and Acceleration Center, Agricultural Innovation Center, "Founder Club," Yeni Fikir, "Coders Azerbaijan," "BERC&Partners," and others, as well as global partners – "Synapses Ventures," "TechDev Academy" (USA), "Silk Road High Tech Park Association" (China), "Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Board of Investment and Trade" (Pakistan), ATUIAB (Uzbekistan), "DELPHI LTD" (Africa), "MH INSPIRES PTY LTD" (Australia), and other influential organizations.
One of the significant advantages of the project is the partnership established with "TEI Forum 2026." Within this cooperation, the "Demo Day" event will be held on October 30–31, 2026, at the Baku Congress Center. At this event, startups will gain the opportunity to establish direct contact with more than 500 entrepreneurs, investors, and business representatives and create potential partnerships.
Startups at the idea stage, those in MVP development, or those possessing an MVP can apply for the "Startup School 4" program.
