It was noted that the sale of the Nextsale startup abroad will motivate and stimulate other local startups. The digital economy and the 4th Industrial Revolution also create opportunities for startups. New technologies allow you to expand your business, enter new markets and increase turnover in a short time. Startups have the advantage of creating and developing new businesses using modern technologies and innovative approaches. SMBDA issues a Startup certificate to micro and small entrepreneurs, exempting them from income and profit tax for 3 years on their income from innovative activities, and organizes exhibitions with the participation of startups. Startups use the free training and consulting services of SME development centers, the portal www.kobmarket.az to expand sales opportunities, and grants in education, science, research and support.
