TikTok and Astana Hub have opened enrollment for an extended educational program for startups.

TikTok, together with Astana Hub, has launched applications for the new stage of the TikTok StartUp Academy educational program, which is being held for the third consecutive year. Within the framework of the Academy, startup representatives will learn how to achieve success on the platform and attract the community's attention to their product. Finalists will receive grants for promotion on TikTok — the total prize fund is $15,000.

To participate in the program, startups need to submit an application via the link by November 10. The application should include information about the startup's tasks, geography, as well as the business goals the company plans to achieve using TikTok. The best startups with the most unique ideas, a well-founded business model, and a clear understanding of their goals on the platform will be selected for the final stage, which will take place on November 29 in Astana. Finalists from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan will be provided with accommodation and flights.
