The “Best Startup in Digital Technologies” competition has been organized by the Directorate of the Software Products and Information Technologies Technology Park with the support of the Ministry of Digital Technologies since 2023. The total prize fund amounts to $1 million.
The competition selects the most outstanding projects in the fields of artificial intelligence, social technologies, MicroSaaS and AdTech, financial technologies and entrepreneurship, gaming software, and a special category – the hackathon.
While more than 4,000 people took part in the first competition, by 2025 their number had reached 6,000. The number of teams increased from 444 to 862.
The winners of the competition presented their startup projects to the Head of State, explaining their advantages and practical applications.
“We are ready to create the necessary conditions for small startups to grow into major projects and profitable businesses. To achieve this, it is necessary to establish dialogue with each startup founder and provide the support they need”, the President said.
It was emphasized that supporting young people’s interests lays the foundation for future professions, and that countries around the world are also showing strong interest in the startup projects developed by our young men and women.
Noting that funding for startup support will be increased, the President provided recommendations on other areas and fields where fresh perspectives and new ideas from young people are in demand.
