Startups are being recruited for the Digital Startup Awards program with a prize fund of $1 million

IT Park Uzbekistan and IT Park Ventures announced the final stage of applications for the Digital Startup Awards — an international initiative aimed at supporting promising startups from the Eurasian region. The program provides participants with access to mentorship, educational resources, and a prize fund of $1 million.

Teams from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan are invited to participate. Startups from Uzbekistan can compete in a separate category, "Best Startup Project."

The Digital Startup Awards aims to enhance the export potential of regional projects and foster cross-border cooperation. Participants will have access to international mentors, training, support for entering new markets, and networking opportunities with investors.

The program includes three tracks:

1. Incubation — for early-stage projects from idea to MVP.
2. Acceleration — for startups with a ready product and initial customers.
3. Best Startup Project — for mature companies with proven revenue and sustainable results.

Application deadline: August 30.

Final events, including the Demo Day and Grand Finale, will take place on December 10 in Tashkent. Learn more and apply here.
