Applications are now open in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan for the Visa Everywhere Initiative 2024 — a global open innovation program and competition where startups present their solutions to address future challenges in payments and commerce.

In addition to financial support, VEI winners gain access to Visa’s extensive network of partners across the banking, retail, venture capital, and government sectors. Winners will also receive recognition from one of the world’s most trusted and valuable brands.

Applications are accepted from March 25 to May 6. Selected participants will advance to the next stage of the competition in the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, which will take place virtually on July 17.

The startup that wins the regional stage will compete in the global finals against winners from the European, Asia-Pacific, Latin American, and North American selections at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco on October 29, 2024.
