Within the framework of the "INNOSTART" Hackathon organized in Sumgayit on April 5-6, the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDIA) allocated a total of 10,000 AZN in financial support for youth development.
The support was provided to the winning teams of the hackathon in the form of an investment and aims to further develop the startup projects they presented.
During the two-day intensive program, participants worked in teams on innovative and technological solutions and presented their ideas to the jury. During the hackathon, participants had the opportunity to build a business model, work on technical approaches and translate their projects into a specific presentation format. As a result of the jury's evaluation, three winning teams were determined.
The winning projects are as follows:
• "Codepays" - A platform that enables companies to more effectively find and recruit professionals specialized in the IT field.
• "Biolonic" - A platform that visualizes chemical processes in digital form and facilitates their use in education and industry.
• "Student All" - A selection tool that helps applicants determine the appropriate directions for them at the stage of choosing a specialty.
Within the framework of the event, participants also had the opportunity to further improve their projects with the support of experienced mentors. The main goal of the Hackathon is to reveal the potential of young people in the field of innovation and startups, to create an opportunity to turn their ideas into real projects.
