Venture Day Minsk: A Virtual Showcase of Belarusian Innovation

The annual Venture Day Minsk, typically hosted by the tech startup hub Imaguru, is being conducted virtually this year. This shift is a direct result of both the ongoing pandemic and the complex political climate within Belarus.

Imaguru has itself been compelled to transition to exclusively online operations following the closure of its physical location by authorities. Support for their work can be shown by exploring the startups they nurture and considering a purchase from their merchandise line.

Belarusian Startup Ecosystem

Belarus has consistently fostered a vibrant startup scene, previously giving rise to successful companies such as Splitmetrics, MSQRD, PingFin, DEIP, TrackDuck, and PandaDoc. This event continues that tradition.

Below is a detailed overview of the startups presenting at this year’s virtual event.

Access to the livestream is available here. Investors interested in networking with the participating startups can do so here. Discussions surrounding the startup pitches are also taking place on Clubhouse here. The official event hashtag on Twitter is here.
