"This project focuses on creating opportunities for SMEs and women entrepreneurs in Kyrgyzstan. The initiatives aim to provide them with advanced knowledge, resources to implement green technologies and sustainable business practices. We aim to strengthen their ability to adapt to environmental challenges, which in turn will strengthen their competitiveness and contribute to a more sustainable economic future for the entire country." - Azzambek Jeenbai uulu, Executive Director of JIA.

In addition, a competition among students will provide a platform for implementing the best green projects, and participants will receive real opportunities for internships and employment in environmentally-oriented companies.
