Google Business Group Nepal chapter held the second edition of BizStart 2019 today in Kathmandu to provide a platform for startup companies. According to the organiser, some 210 startups participated in the one-day event that saw over 10,000 visitors.
“Our main aim is to provide a platform to the startups so that they get an opportunity to find investment, business and networks,” said manager at Google Business Group Nepal chapter Amit Agrawal. Besides the exhibition, the organiser also conducted a training session on developing entrepreneurship skills for entrepreneurs. Last year, a total of 100 startup companies participated in the event.
‘Even unregistered startup companies participated in the event as there is no fee to join and visitors can enter for free,’ Agrawal said, adding that the startups showcased their ideas, from using drones to irrigate farms, reviving analogue music to creating customised tour packages. “Some were working on robotics, recycling, food business, health, apparel and developing mobile apps.”
Google Business Group has been organising the event on an annual basis to bring entrepreneurs and startup-founders together from around the country under one roof. Besides displaying their products and services, startups also get an opportunity to learn new strategies and expand their businesses with Google’s technology, said the organiser. “The changing business environment in the country and rise of successful startups have inspired youths to set up their own companies,” he said, adding that the government needs to do more to encourage startups.
