The program focuses on government, healthcare, education, industry, and the green economy.
The acceleration program is designed to help startups transform working prototypes into investable businesses through intensive support across different stages of growth. Participants receive one-on-one mentoring from experienced founders and domain experts, startup acceleration support to refine products, go-to-market strategies, and traction, as well as expert legal, financial, and technical consultations.
The program also provides investor access through direct introductions to venture funds and angel networks. Participants benefit from startup training workshops covering pitching, fundraising, and scaling, while progressing through KPI-based milestones that unlock the next investment tranche.
Funding is available for 15 winning teams through IT Park Ventures, with investment distributed based on KPI achievements and supported by continued access to the venture ecosystem. The top three teams will receive investments of $100,000, $60,000, and $40,000 respectively.
The competition is open to AI startup projects with working MVPs or prototypes. Eligible teams must consist of 3–8 members, be made up of citizens or permanent residents of Uzbekistan, and participation in the program is free of charge.
