With this in mind, a corporate Ideathon was organized to identify new approaches to internal departmental challenges, improve existing processes, and foster a startup mindset within the team.
The main goal of the Ideathon was to showcase Uzbekistan’s achievements over 35 years of independence more broadly, while also generating new ideas and projects that could contribute to the country’s further development.
Around 100 IT Park employees, divided into 24 teams, took part in the Ideathon. Over several days, participants worked on ideas aimed at strengthening startup development, supporting their expansion into new markets, creating more effective support mechanisms, and optimizing IT Park’s internal processes.
Representatives of Astana Hub, CS Angels Club, IT Park Ventures, as well as the management of IT Park Uzbekistan, were invited to evaluate the projects.
Throughout the process, each team identified a specific problem, formulated and tested hypotheses, developed a solution concept, and prepared it for presentation. This allowed participants to put into practice the approaches typically used in creating and developing startups.
At the final stage of the Ideathon, teams presented their solutions to an expert jury. Each team had 3 minutes to present its project and an additional 5 minutes to answer questions from the jury.
The experts evaluated the practical significance of the proposed solutions, their relevance to the identified problems, and their potential for further development. The teams also received feedback and recommendations for improving their projects.
Following the final evaluation, winners were selected in four categories:
The corporate Ideathon gave IT Park employees an opportunity to look at their work-related challenges from a new perspective, test hypotheses, collaborate in teams, and gain hands-on experience in presenting and defending their solutions before experts.
Importantly, the ideas developed during the Ideathon are not limited to presentations. Going forward, the possibility of integrating these ideas into IT Park’s internal processes and turning them into practical solutions will be explored.
Congratulations to all the winners, and we wish them success in implementing their ideas within the organization!
