We are excited to share our recent journey to Astana, Kazakhstan, and Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from August 21 to 27, 2023. The Caucasus Ventures team had the privilege of visiting two prominent innovation hubs, Astana Hub and IT Park Tashkent, during this insightful trip.

Our visit was marked by engaging interactions with key figures in the local ecosystems and the dynamic startup communities. It was an opportunity to reconnect and collaborate with ecosystem builders who share our passion for driving innovation and fostering entrepreneurship.

During our stay, we had the pleasure of meeting with alumni from the Silkway Accelerator program and were truly impressed by the innovative solutions they are crafting. Additionally, we were honored to participate in Aloqa Ventures Demo Day, witnessing firsthand the remarkable ideas being nurtured in the region.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported us throughout this enriching journey. Special thanks to the Asian Development Bank, Astana Hub, and IT Park Tashkent for their warm welcome and facilitating these meaningful connections.
