The winning startups of the "GOAL" program, held in partnership with the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IRIA) and the innovation company "Plug and Play", have held meetings in Silicon Valley.

A meeting took place between Azerbaijani startups and Saed Amiri, CEO of Plug and Play. The meeting discussed startup development, investment, access to foreign markets, and integration into the Silicon Valley ecosystem.

Participants also meet with various teams of Plug and Play. Next week, startups will perform on the "Global Startup Showcase" stage at the "Silicon Valley Summit", presenting their products to an international audience.

The program includes events such as "Hyundai Innovation Day", "LinkedIn", "Odoo", and "San Jose AI Center of Excellence Expo". The Azerbaijani startup "Pionero AI" won the "Shark Tank" session and earned the opportunity to present before investors at the "Global Startup Showcase".

Six Azerbaijani startups qualified for the "GOAL" program: "Glacies Biome", "Enduropy", "Bonfi", "Recepta", "Pixelfork", "Pionero AI". Startups participate in investor sessions, corporate discussions, pitch simulations, and international networking events.

The goal of the "GOAL" program is to support the international recognition of the local innovation ecosystem, the representation of Azerbaijani startups on global platforms, and the promotion of the country's innovation potential.
