A project from Uzbekistan is selected for the Silkway Accelerator program

The Avlo.shop project, which participated in the IT Park acceleration programs, entered the top 15 startups of the Silkway Accelerator program initiated by Google and Astana Hub.

In total, 237 technological projects from all countries of Central Asia, Azerbaijan and Mongolia were registered for participation in the program.  Applications were accepted in two stages - in June and August.

The projects were evaluated by a special commission - experts from Central Asian countries and representatives of Google Developers.  The training will last 3 months and will be held in Nur-Sultan.

Participation in the program will allow startups to attract funding for their developments from investors - partners of the program and the technopark itself.

In addition, during the program, the winning teams will learn how to build business processes, scale a business, establish partnerships and attract investments.  Mentoring support for startups will be provided by the best experts in these areas, including those from Google.

Recall that the avlo.shop platform is an affordable online store constructor for entrepreneurs from Uzbekistan.  The project is aimed at developing e-commerce in the region.  In two months, the startup has already attracted more than 500 customers, and now the platform is valued at $2 million.

In 2021, even before the official start, avlo.shop won the regional stage of The Entrepreneurship World Cup, one of the largest startup pitch competitions.  Organizers ranked the project among the top 100 out of a thousand applications from all over the world.
