BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 20. Measures to support youth startup projects in Azerbaijan’s regions will be expanded, including efforts to attract foreign investment.
This is stated in the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Employment Strategy for 2026–2030, approved by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport have been tasked with implementing the measures planned for 2026–2030. Other implementing agencies include the Innovation Center, the State Agency for Citizen Services and Social Innovation under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the State Committee for Family, Women, and Children’s Affairs.
