At the event dedicated to success of projects, which participated in the AppLab program during the 2018-2019 season, the authors of “Run2Help”, “Bilik.al”, “Madebyaz” and “Balta” projects have shared their thoughts about the important role of “AppLab” program in the process of turning their ideas into the finished and demanded products. The young developers were awarded with special certificates from Bakcell.

“We see great potential in Azerbaijani youth, and I’m confident that their ideas can be turned into products and services able to compete not only on the local market, but on the international arena as well. Bakcell is very proud to see that the mobile application and products developed by teams who use the benefits of the AppLab center, being one of the most innovative environments in the country, are actively used by the consumers. This proves that our activities are very effective and we’re proud to see so many successful projects among the AppLab participants,” says Bakcell CEO Nikolai Beckers.

Note that Bakcell was one of the first companies in the country to support implementation of projects aimed at development of startup environment in Azerbaijan. Since the launch of “AppLab” program in 2014, local hardware and software developers are enabled to submit their ideas and get support from Bakcell. Teams participating in the “AppLab” project of Bakcell are granted access to the company’s “AppLab” Center and provided with free internet access, desk and training space, along with the opportunity to use the latest devices for developing and testing their products.
