The exhibition will also present engineering and technical projects of schoolchildren and students in the areas of agriculture, aerospace construction and cybersecurity.
The forum is expected to offer a Pitching Zone, five-minute one-to-one meetings between startups and large and medium-sized businesses. This speed networking format will provide the opportunity to meet potential partners and investors in such areas as telecom, smart cities, logistics, construction, banks, oil and gas, and e-commerce.
Over 50 startups will present ready-made solutions that help improve business and increase competitiveness in the market. Businesses are particularly interested in the startups that have successfully integrated AI.
