In partnership with the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDDA) and the Azerbaijan State Agrarian University (ASAU), the Azerbaijan Innovation Center has begun operating at ASAU. The main goal of the center is to bring together innovators from Ganja and the surrounding regions, support startup development, facilitate startups’ access to markets and funding mechanisms, provide mentorship in the field of innovation, and contribute to the development of human capital.

The Azerbaijan Innovation Center at ASAU is equipped with technical facilities for prototyping, hardware design, and research. The center also features a computer lab for university students, program participants, and other users. In addition, it provides spaces for coworking, meetings, presentations, as well as educational activities and training sessions.

Collaboration with other universities on research projects, technology transfer with companies, incubation and acceleration programs for startups, STEM initiatives with government agencies, and access to international grant programs will be integral components of the center’s activities.

It should be noted that in partnership with the IDDA, the Azerbaijan Innovation Center was established in Baku and the Sumgait Innovation Hub in Sumgait last year. In 2025, the Andersen Lab, along with innovation centers at Nakhchivan State University and the Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry, were also established
