Azerbaijani startup InnMedia has joined the international Silkway Accelerator 2026 program

Azerbaijani AI/MediaTech startup InnMedia has joined the participants of the Silkway Accelerator 2026 Batch 7 program, organized by the international tech park Astana Hub in collaboration with Google for Startups.

InnMedia became the only startup from Azerbaijan in the new cohort of the program and will represent the country among regional technology companies.

According to InnMedia founder Teymur Kutseba, participation in the program will give the company the opportunity to undergo an intensive scaling program, gain access to an international expert network, test new growth hypotheses, and strengthen preparation for entering regional and global markets.

He also noted that, unlike incubation programs, acceleration programs are focused on accelerating company growth, developing sales, attracting investments, and preparing for work with international markets.

The Silkway Accelerator program was launched in 2022 by Astana Hub in collaboration with Google for Startups. Over the previous six cohorts, 73 startups from more than eight countries in the region have participated. According to the organizers, program participants have attracted over $48 million in investments, and their combined valuation exceeded $500 million.

Among the Azerbaijani startups that have previously participated in the program are Tripsome, Metatesk, Voiceloft, and Tryverse.

InnMedia develops an artificial intelligence-based platform for automating media and communication processes. The solution allows media organizations, editorial offices, and digital publishers to automate the collection, analysis, creation, and publication of content in text, audio, visual, and video formats.

According to Teymur Kutseba, participation in Silkway Accelerator will help the company expand its network of international partners and accelerate the development of its own technological solutions.

InnMedia Innovation Media Services MMC operates in the fields of AdTech, MediaTech, and artificial intelligence, developing a full-cycle AI platform for automating content production, localization, and distribution. Previously, the company received a grant of Microsoft Azure Credits worth $150,000 and participated in development programs at SABAH.HUB, IE Business School, and the Y Combinator Summer School.
