PASHA Holding CEO: Innovation knows no boundaries

PASHA Holding views innovation not only as a driver of future growth and digital transformation, but also as a way to strengthen the startup ecosystem and help Central Eurasia secure its rightful place in the global economy, PASHA Holding CEO Jalal Gasimov said during the opening ceremony of the 5th INMerge Innovation Summit, organized by PASHA Holding, Report informs.

"Over the past year, we have expanded INMerge's presence in Georgia, Türkiye, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, demonstrating our deep commitment to creating an innovation ecosystem that transcends national borders. We believe that Central Eurasia's potential lies in collaboration and combining the region's strengths: its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, a market with over 100 million young and talented people, and economies growing at 4-6% annually with double-digit growth rates in the digital sector," Gasimov emphasized.

According to him, the formula for success is simple: potential multiplied by implementation.

"Therefore, we must pay special attention to implementation. Central Eurasia, with its average age of around 30, is home to a creative, digitally savvy generation. Startups born in Baku can scale up to Almaty or Tashkent. Ideas tested in Istanbul can reach the markets of Tbilisi or Samarkand. Innovation knows no bounds. And we shouldn't either," added the head of PASHA Holding.
