AccessBank has launched “Bizdən Biznesə” a new initiative designed to support startups. This project will be implemented in partnership with the Small and Medium Business Development Agency (KOBIA) as part of a public-private collaboration.
The primary objectives of the project are to stimulate innovation, create opportunities for new businesses, and provide a platform for startups to realize their ideas. It will offer mentorship and financial support to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Azerbaijan, explore promising business concepts with potential for sustainable growth and positive societal impact, and foster a robust network of entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs and startups are encouraged to participate, and the application process is now open. Financial resources will be allocated for the projects selected by the jury.
