WHAT TO EXPECT

The program

Day1: We will start off with a networking event where you will get to know your new friends & meet the people you’ll be working with. This team formation will be followed by problem identification through different methods.

Day 2: We shall reflect upon different toolkits which would help you find suitable solutions related to your problem statements.

Day 3: This is an open day for the extended entrepreneurial community of Azerbaijan, where you would validate your startup progress for the past 2 days and pitch your ideas to relevant entities.

In short; Surrounded by smart, passionate people and with the best tools and approaches at your disposal, you’ll take giant leaps toward creating a business, becoming a founder, and connecting with the right people and resources.

Location

Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital is the architectural love child of Paris and Dubai, albeit with plenty of Soviet genes floating half-hidden in the background. Few cities in the world are changing as quickly and nowhere else in Eurasia do East and West blend as seamlessly or as chaotically. At its heart, the Unesco-listed Old City (İçəri Şəhər) lies within an exotically crenelated arc of fortress wall. Around this are gracefully illuminated stone mansions and pedestrianised tree-lined streets filled with exclusive boutiques.

Food & Accommodation

Lunch and other refreshments are on the house during the entire event for all participants. As for accommodation, international participants can reach out to the organizers and they can arrange something for them as per individual needs.

Beyond work

We strongly believe in socialization and life beyond work, so we have arranged some social nights, city walks and group activities by the end of each day. For all our international participants, this would be your best chance to roam around Baku with the eyes of the locals.

PRICING

This event is purely for the communal good & we don’t intend to make any profits out of this event, hence we are charging a very nominal and symbolic fee.
