Azercell Telecom launches a program that offers new opportunities for young science and technology entrepreneurs. The project will allow the participants to join entrepreneurship-training courses in the US, receive grants for implementation of their business ideas and start own business.
The Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Program is a joint initiative of Azercell, Barama Innovation Center and U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation.

Authors of selected projects will join training courses and seminars on business strategy development and funding of technology start-ups. During the next stage six finalists will take part in training courses in Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin, US. Then, a jury consisting of local and international judges will select three winners, who will receive grants to launch their business ideas.
