Biz 2019-yilda startaplar uchun tanlovlarni boshlaganimizda, taxminan 100 ta ariza olgan edik va ularning yarmidan ko‘pi faqat g‘oya bosqichida bo‘lib, mahsulotlari uchun MVP (minimal ishchi mahsulot)ga ega emas edi.

2024-yilda Prezident tashabbusi bilan Prezident Texnologiya Mukofotining ikkinchi to‘lqinini tashkil qilmoqdamiz, mukofot jamg‘armasi 1 000 000 AQSh dollarini tashkil qiladi. Hozir esa, 3 000 dan ortiq ishtirokchi orasidan 550 dan ortiq ariza qabul qilindi va deyarli barcha ishtirokchilarning o‘z MVPlari mavjud. O‘zgarishlarni ko‘rmoqdamiz va bu juda muhim.

Ishonamanki, tanlov davomida MVP bosqichiga yetgan barcha ishtirokchilar investitsiya jalb qilishga tayyor.

Bundan tashqari, startaplarni ilk qadamlaridan qo‘llab-quvvatlash maqsadida 'Digital Startups Program' ishga tushirildi. Moliyalashtirish imkoniyatlari hukumat va xususiy sektor, shu jumladan banklar, venchur fondlar, investorlar va boshqa manbalardan taqdim etiladi.

When we first initiated competitions for startups in 2019, we got around 100 applications, and half of them was on the idea stage without MVPs for their products.

In 2024, under a Presidential initiative, we are hosting the second wave of the President's Tech Award, featuring a $1,000,000 prize fund. And now, we had over 550 applications from over 3,000 participants with almost all of the participants having their MVPs. We see the changes, and this is important.

And I am sure, everyone who reached the MVP-stages during the competition, are ready for investment attraction.

Additionally, the "Digital Startups Program" was launched to support startups from their very first steps. Funding opportunities are available from both government and private sectors, including banks, venture funds, investors, and more.
