The U.S. Department of State’s Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) Initiative is excited to announce a program to support and train teams of science and technology entrepreneurs from the countries of Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. The program will be held in Tbilisi, Georgia with implementation partner VentureWell and in country partner Impact Hub Tbilisi.

The GIST Regional Startup Training Caucasus will provide science and technology entrepreneurs with the skills they need to further support their leap into entrepreneurship and grow their businesses. To learn these skills, select science and technology entrepreneurs will spend four days in intensive training to help improve their business ideas, perfect their pitch, and showcase their innovations during a Demo Day in front of business leaders, policymakers, academics, and chief science advisors and equivalents from around the region.

For this in-country GIST Regional Startup Training, there will be a specific focus on teams that meet the following requirements:

  • Only teams from Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan are eligible to apply;
  • Only two members are allowed for each team;
  • Both team members must be between the ages of 18 – 40;

  • Your past program participation, whether it was with GIST or another organization;
