00:15 The government of the Republic of Tajikistan,
00:18 jointly with the development partner,
00:20 particularly the World Bank,
00:23 developing in Tajikistan business incubators
00:26 and supporting startups to provide
00:28 sustainable development
00:31 of incubators based on the best international practice.
00:35 We jointly organized a business trip to
00:38 Georgia.
00:40 Georgia has been a top.
00:43 Performer in investment climate reforms over the last decade
00:47 and
00:48 now I've seen that Georgia has also become a top
00:53 performer in
00:55 establishing an innovative
00:57 ecosystem of technology,
00:59 startup
01:00 business incubation.
01:30 Georgian Enterprise.
02:06 The project is called
02:08 Agricultural commercialization Project.
02:09 Uh,
02:10 this is going on since 20
02:12 2015.
02:14 But 11 of the most important features of the additional
02:16 financing is that it actually brought a new component called
02:20 entrepreneur development,
02:21 business development services.
02:23 So that particular uh component focused on
02:26 really building the capacity of Tajikistan in the area of business incubation,
02:30 startups,
02:31 and all innovation kind of things.
02:52 And what I'm actually most happy about is that we are setting
02:56 a framework for partnership,
02:58 so we are formalizing a partnership between Georgia and
03:00 Tajikistan on this very important element of investment,
03:05 climate,
03:06 and
03:07 bringing in innovation
03:08 and technology
03:10 and a startup ecosystem to Tajikistan.
