As a result of the selection round, a total of 92 applications were received for the project “3.2.1-Start!”, of which only 30 teams, selected by an independent jury, made it to the semifinals and had the opportunity to go to a 4-day training camp in Issyk-Kul, called “BootCamp”. Throughout the entire offsite event, participants were provided with accommodation, meals, and transportation. Team mentors as well as experts were invited to this camp. During the training, the participants of the project “3.2.1-Start!” received valuable knowledge and advice on topics such as ecology, entrepreneurship, marketing, branding, mindset, law, etc. While working with mentors, the teams were able to seek advice, improve their ideas and prepare for the final stage of the project – Pitching day.
