Bridge (V4ATB) will contribute to the development of the potential
of young startup creators in Azerbaijan, Ambassador of Slovakia
Milan Lajcak said, trend reports.
Lajcak made the remark during 'V4-Azerbaijan Tech Bridge Grande
Finale' event.
"The first aspect of the V4ATB program is the development of the
potential of young people. Fresh ideas are not always enough, and
our project will help young start-up creators to put them into
practice," he noted. "The second aspect of the program is

experience from other countries for the development of start-ups in
Azerbaijan.

establish and enhance cooperation between Visegrad Group (Czech

hubs, private investors, venture capital funds and
