A Startup Garage venture studio office has opened in Qatar

The new office became the first representation of a venture project from Central Asia in the Middle East and North Africa region. This opening marked an important milestone for the development of Startup Garage and the Uzbek startup ecosystem as a whole.

The company aims to provide a connecting link for startups launching in Middle Eastern countries. In turn, projects from MENA countries interested in entering Central Asian markets will gain additional opportunities. Office staff will assist Uzbek entrepreneurs in building partnerships and attracting investments.

Startup Garage's presence will create a unique bridge between regions, providing startups with access to investments, partners, and scaling opportunities.

Startup Garage opened its first office in Tashkent in July 2024 and, over the following eight months, established operations across all regions of Uzbekistan. It provides startups with mentoring support, strategic guidance, and funding with the backing of Aloqa Ventures.

According to the company, more than 100 local startups have received its support. Of these, 10 are in the process of attracting external investments, and three have secured funding totaling approximately $1 million.
