Upcoming — 8 Oct 2026 – 9 Oct 2026. Baku, Azerbaijan.
INMerge Innovation Summit 2026
INMerge is Azerbaijan's largest private-sector innovation summit, organized by PASHA Holding and staged in Baku as a two-day gathering that mixes keynotes from international tech leaders, corporate-innovation case studies, and a startup exhibition area with direct pitch access to regional investors. The program typically spans fintech, AI, sustainability, and the future of work, and uses the summit as a bridge between Azerbaijan's state-led digital agenda and the global startup community, with speakers from the likes of Google, Meta, and top European scaleups. For founders outside the Caucasus, INMerge is one of the most efficient ways to meet the main Azerbaijani corporates, sovereign-fund operators, and regional angels in a single trip. Tickets are typically in the EUR 100-250 range with discounted passes for early-stage founders.
