An entrepreneur from Uzbekistan has made the shortlist for the Aurora Tech Award 2024 international prize.

The Aurora Tech Award is an annual global prize for women founders of tech startups.

Uzbek entrepreneur Firuza Eshonova's project made the shortlist among 649 applications submitted by women founders of startups from 102 countries around the world.

Her project, Mila4AI, helps people with speech impairments improve their conversational skills. The app uses AI to assign exercises for oral motor skills and articulation without the need for a therapist to be present during treatment.

The winners this year will be chosen by IT entrepreneurs from last year's award, as well as key industry experts from around the world. They will receive cash prizes of $30,000, $20,000, and $10,000, and the results will be announced on March 8.
