Established in the hokimiyat building, the office will help identify and select students’ innovative ideas, support their development, and guide them toward government-announced competitions and acceleration programs.
“Startup Navigator” is being launched for the first time in the student campus. Its main task is to help young people throughout the entire journey — from an initial idea to a fully developed startup project — by identifying opportunities and programs best suited to their needs.
Today, higher education institutions and young people are implementing thousands of startup projects in various fields. According to information presented during the briefing, more than 47,000 startup projects and innovative developments are being implemented by universities and young people in 2026.
The level of project readiness also varies: while some young people have only an idea, others already have a finished product or an established startup. Taking these differences into account, “Startup Navigator” will guide young people toward competitions and programs that correspond to the stage of development of their projects.
The platform will also serve as a single source bringing together the opportunities created for startups across the country. As a result, young people will be able to access comprehensive information about government grants, competitions, acceleration programs, and other support mechanisms.
Another important feature of the new system is monitoring. It will make it possible not only to track startup projects and their founders, but also to analyze the effectiveness of competitions and programs implemented nationwide.
This will help identify which programs deliver the best results for young people, improve support mechanisms, and further develop the startup ecosystem.
Thus, “Startup Navigator” is designed to establish an integrated system covering the entire process — from identifying young people’s innovative ideas and guiding them toward the appropriate programs and opportunities to monitoring their subsequent progress and results.
