BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 26. It would be
useful to launch a program to support small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) through digital channels, creating a two-way
corridor linking Baku’s free economic zones with London
accelerators like White City Campus, Malini Mehra, CEO of Globe
Legistarors and curator of Baku Climate Action Week, said during
the First Azerbaijan-UK Policy Dialogue held at ADA University,
Trend reports.
“These accelerators are an effective tool for supporting
companies from both sides in establishing and developing bilateral
business. For example, we could initially support the entry of 25
UK companies into the Eurasian market in Azerbaijan, and similarly,
25 Azerbaijani companies into the UK by 2027,” she noted.
According to her, this also allows companies to be informed
about the opportunities and challenges of starting a business in
another country.
Government incentives can support companies in the early stages,
providing legal support, advice on starting a business, opening
bank accounts, and other key issues.
“Another initiative is the creation of a forum for cultural and
creative diplomacy, which will be held alternately in London and
serve as a platform for exchange between the creative industries of
the two countries,” she added.
