We brought our tech community in Portugal together
The Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDDA) continues to bring together the Azerbaijani technology community living in different countries under one umbrella. As part of this initiative, the latest “Innovation Wednesdays” gathering took place on November 11 in Lisbon, alongside “Web Summit 2026”.
The event brought together active members of innovation ecosystems from Azerbaijan and other countries, including startup founders, investors, corporate innovators, Azerbaijani ICT companies, and other ecosystem representatives. Participants exchanged views on building new connections and exploring potential collaboration opportunities.
In his speech, Farid Osmanov, Chairman of the Board of IDDA, emphasized that one of the Agency’s key missions is to establish strong connections between Azerbaijan’s innovation ecosystem and Azerbaijani professionals living abroad who have achieved significant success in technology and startup development.
He also informed participants about the opportunities created for technology companies, startups, and digital nomads under Azerbaijan’s new technopark legislation, as well as the favorable conditions being established for venture capital and crowdfunding financing.
It should be noted that the main objective of the regularly held “Innovation Wednesdays” gatherings is to strengthen networking within Azerbaijan’s innovation ecosystem, expand connections between technology professionals operating locally and abroad, promote knowledge and experience sharing, and create opportunities for new collaborations.
