The initiative stems from SABAH.academy's core programs, which aim to foster entrepreneurial spirit and nurture creative thinking in both young women and men. The competition is designed as a platform for ambitious students from diverse backgrounds, all sharing a common goal: to create innovative, impactful ideas that can disrupt the world. 2024 marked 2 editions of the “University Demo Day” competition, from which the initial one took place as an independent event with participation of 20 best teams representing 4 different universities of Baku (BDU, UNEC, DIA, AzTU), and the second one took place in the frame of the “Baku ID” innovations festival as a designated educational panel with participation of 16 best teams representing 8 different universities of Baku and Sumgait (BDU, AzTU, DIA, UNEC, BMU, Khazar, WCU and SDU). In both events, the top three winning teams received valuable prizes from our ecosystem partners, along with a golden ticket to join SABAH.incubation.
