List of startups that you supported during the year –One of the key accomplishments of this year has been the initiation and subsequent development of the Miras project, which is dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities. Research indicates that a significant portion of this population remains unemployed, with some pursuing handmade crafts to generate additional income. Craft Making not only provides financial benefits but also fosters their social integration. However, our studies reveal that many disabled artisans face considerable challenges in marketing and selling their products. Miras addresses this issue by creating a platform where these artisans can display and sell their handmade crafts. The project’s dedicated website, ArtLegacy.co, has been developed to serve as a virtual marketplace for this purpose. Additionally, we have organized five exhibitions to date, providing further opportunities for artisans to showcase and sell their work. We are currently working on expanding our network of partners and artisans, while also optimizing the platform to enhance its effectiveness. “Miras” project secured second place at the Enactus Azerbaijan National Competition. Another important initiative I am actively leading is BullyGuard, a comprehensive solution involving both hardware and software components designed to help parents detect bullying incidents among schoolchildren. To date, we have successfully developed fully functional hardware *smart band) and software (BullyGuard app), and we continue to enhance the system's capabilities. A noteworthy achievement for BullyGuard was securing second place in the prestigious Teknofest 2024 competition, where it competed against more than 2,000 projects from across Turkey and various other countries. Furthermore, BullyGuard has been accepted into the Sabah.Lab incubation program, and we are diligently working on advancing the project, with a focus on attracting potential investors to support its continued growth. AgroWise The third project we have recently launched is AgroWise, which integrates both software and hardware to assist farmers in optimizing their agricultural practices. The hardware component of AgroWise includes an unmanned vehicle that follows a predetermined trajectory across the farmland, equipped with an NPK sensor that measures seven key soil indicators: salinity, temperature, conductivity, pH, potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The system adjusts the measurement frequency according to the specific area of land, and the collected data is transmitted to the AgroWise application. There, the data is analyzed using AI, incorporating short-term weather forecasts to provide farmers with detailed, easy-to-understand reports and actionable strategies tailored to the needs of their farm. This solution empowers farmers to make informed decisions based on real-time data and predictive analytics. Current project secured second place at the Green Karabakh Hackathon and is a finalist at the Green Initiatives SAF (STEAM Azerbaijan Festival) 2024, organized with support from the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
