Awards & Achievements
These results come from environments where analytical thinking, structured reasoning, and clear teamwork are essential. Each competition required synthesizing information under pressure and presenting outcomes with clarity and impact.
TEKNOFEST FinTech 2025
TEKNOFEST is one of Europe’s largest technology and innovation festivals, bringing together startups, researchers, and innovators across aerospace, engineering, and digital technologies. In the FinTech category, teams are evaluated on problem relevance, user impact, technical feasibility, and business viability.
Our project PerkPay was awarded 2nd Place among 200+ competing teams in Istanbul. The recognition validated the project’s data-informed, human-centered approach to employee benefits and served as early confirmation of its potential beyond a competition setting.
Azerbaijan Business Case Competition (ABCC)
The Azerbaijan Business Case Competition (ABCC) is one of the region’s most rigorous case competitions, designed to simulate real executive decision-making under time pressure using globally recognized business frameworks.
After participating across multiple years, my team achieved 2nd Place nationally. The experience strengthened my ability to structure ambiguity, collaborate under pressure, and translate complex analysis into clear, defensible recommendations—skills I continue to apply in both corporate and entrepreneurial environments
What distinguishes ABCC from traditional academic competitions is its ecosystem. Beyond competitive rounds, the program integrates intensive mentorship, structured feedback loops, and expert-led training sessions. Judges and mentors come from both local and international business backgrounds, exposing participants to global standards of analytical rigor and professional communication. The competition has also been supported over the years by internationally recognized organizations and consulting practices, ensuring strong alignment with real-world business expectations.
JACAFA Foundation Scholarship (2024–2026)
The JACAFA Foundation Scholarship, supported by The Nippon Foundation of Japan, is a selective international program focused on developing young leaders through cross-cultural exchange, collaboration, and social impact initiatives.
As a JACAFA Scholar, I joined an international network spanning Central Asia and Japan, participating in leadership programs, collaborative projects, and cultural exchange activities. The experience deepened my understanding of how leadership, design, and innovation can operate across cultural and geographic boundaries.
