The national startup championship for children and teenagers aged 6-17, organized by MiniBoss Business School Baku, was successfully held.
According to Oxu.Az, 20 teams competed in two main categories: SIFE (Startups in Innovative Free Entrepreneurship) and SAGE (Startups for the Advancement of a Global Environment).
Participants' projects were evaluated based on criteria such as profitability, innovativeness, media coverage, and ability to answer the jury's questions.
It should be noted that the SIFE category covers free entrepreneurship and business-oriented startups, while the SAGE category includes social projects aimed at benefiting society and the environment.
Based on the final results, the top three teams in each category were declared winners. Additionally, participants were awarded in various special nominations. The jury evaluated teams in nominations such as "Best Presentation", "Most Creative Idea", "Most Innovative Idea", "Best Product Design", "Best Stage Performance", and "Most Successful Brand Name".
After the presentation phase, the traditional "MiniBoss Bazaar" was organized. In this exhibition-sale format, students presented their products and services to event guests and had the opportunity to make real sales. This stage allowed young entrepreneurs to gain sales experience and develop direct communication skills with customers.
It is worth noting that at the Startup Forum held in April this year, participating teams presented their business and social projects to well-known representatives of the local business community, entrepreneurs, and investors. Projects selected based on the jury's evaluation received grant support. The teams used these funds as initial capital to realize their projects and presented the results at the national championship.
