The results of the third cohort of the Hero Training program, implemented in partnership with Draper University, were announced at Astana Hub. Over five weeks of acceleration, startups improved their products, established partnerships with companies from the UAE, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries, and closed deals in the US market. This year, 49 startups from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan applied to the program. After initial screening and online diagnostics by an expert commission, the top 10 projects were selected. Among the finalists of the program are Kazakh startups Outpeer, Beksar, BULT, BeyimTech, AMAN, Oqylyq, Ecodata, Pwron.ai, Q-send, as well as Onbir.app from Kyrgyzstan.

The finalists of the third cohort also demonstrated high results under the mentorship of leading Silicon Valley experts.

For the first time in the history of Draper University, a participant from Kazakhstan — BeyimTech — took first place in the Hero Training program, earning the title of "Best Draper University Team 2024" among 70 participants from 26 countries.
