🛎On January 7-8, 2022, American Councils Uzbekistan within the framework of the Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP) organized a two-day Alumni Accelerator in Tashkent to strengthen relationships among YPIP alumni to promote a spirit of cooperation.
🔹Eileen Brewer and Elena Selezneva, both leaders in innovation ecosystems, facilitated idea generation sessions in entrepreneurship, leadership, and community engagement. During the conference, trainers introduced the Lean Canvas as a tool to support alumni develop projects addressing community needs, while also developing their leadership skills and learning more about the U.S. approach to development at the community level with a focus on promoting mutual understanding.
💭The trainers organized a pitch contest where teams presented their business plans to a group of prominent investors and entrepreneurs.
The following project ideas were selected:
🥇 First Place : Go Green (The team offered a system that takes the garbage from households and a factory recycles into raw material. By doing this, they can recycle nearly 50% of daily waste and produce cheaper products)
Team members: Ozodbek Kuliev, Nodir Murodilloev, Asad Shodiev, Azizakhon Ortikkhujaeva
🥈 Second Place : Lawables (The aim was to increase interest and awareness regarding country law system, government activities, learning rights, and to provide dedicated platform that consists of first-hand and authentic information in a user friendly format, that can present win-win concept for both users and those who fill the content)
Team members: Nigora Jabbarova, Raykhona Arzikulova, Sarvarbek Khusainov, Khilolakhon Kayumova
🥉Third Place : Eco Leaders (This project focused on sorting out trash/garbage (3in1) that can be used in the household. People have to sort out their trash into paper, glasses, plastic and get cashback for filtering it out. It helps to reduce air pollution. Collected plastic, paper, glasses then are sent for recycling.)
Team members: Amira Askarova, Bakhora Omonbaeva, Olimakhon Shovazova, Abdukhoshim Bakirov
🎉✨Congratulations! Well-done!
