SGP 3.0 Applications Are Closed
SGP 3.0.
The open call for Startup Growth Programme 3.0 has officially closed. UzVC thanks every founder who took the time to apply and share what they are building. The immense response reflects the growing ambition and maturity of Uzbekistan's startup ecosystem — and the work of selecting the next SGP 3.0 cohort begins now.
What happens next
UzVC team is starting to review all submitted applications. Shortlisted startups will be notified by email and invited to participate in the SGP 3.0 Startup Growth Conference and Bootcamp, taking place in Tashkent on September 8–10, 2026.
About the Startup Growth Conference and Bootcamp
The three-day conference is the first in-person milestone of SGP 3.0, designed not just as a selection event, but as a genuinely valuable experience for every founder who walks through the door.
All 30 invited startups will take part in hands-on workshops led by the SGP 3.0 international mentor team and one-on-one diagnostic interviews where mentors work directly with each founding team to assess their strategy, market focus, and growth readiness.
Every startup that walks through the door leaves with a written diagnostic report with prioritised recommendations for their business, prepared by the mentor team. This is true regardless of whether a startup is selected for the full SGP 3.0 programme. The conference is designed to create real value for every founder in the room, not just the 15 who go on to the next phase.
From the 30 shortlisted startups, 15 will be selected for the full SGP 3.0 programme, including the Growth Deep-Dive phase with six workshops and private mentoring sessions running through October and November, and the Final Demo Day in front of regional and international investors.
Every selected startup is eligible for $20,000 in UzVC investment.
