Certification and Accreditation Program for Innovation Ecosystem Players Concludes
The closing ceremony of the Certification and Accreditation Program for Innovation Ecosystem Players, organized by the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDDA) in cooperation with the Global Innovation Institute and Code Academy, has been held. Players of the innovation ecosystem, as well as representatives of universities, acceleration and incubation centers, and the corporate sector, attended the event.
In his opening remarks, Rashad Khaligov, IDDA Deputy Chairman, welcomed the participants and provided detailed information on the Agency’s initiatives aimed at developing human capital within the innovation ecosystem. He noted that IDDA in cooperation with leading global innovation centers, has implemented international certification, mentorship, and trainer development programs. More than 200 experts have taken part in these capacity-building initiatives, while over 30 members of the innovation ecosystem have gained valuable experience through international programs such as the “Founders Academy”, supported by the Agency.
The event continued with presentations by representatives of the Global Innovation Institute and Code Academy, who spoke about the program’s progress and outcomes. It concluded with project presentations by participants who received their certificates.
It should be noted that alongside individual specialists, organizations engaged in innovation activities also took part in the program and obtained official global accreditation upon its completion. In total, 38 specialists graduated from the program, earning 45 international certificates, while eight ecosystem players received accreditation.
Thus, the program enables not only individuals but also organizations to achieve international recognition. By obtaining international certificates, local professionals enhance their knowledge and expertise, while companies and organizations, through accreditation, align their quality standards with global best practices.
