Who We Are title

eiGroup is an innovation and venture studio that turns complex real-world challenges into deep-tech companies. We unite researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs under one roof to build solutions that matter—for industry, for the economy, and for the future.

Mission

Unite engineers, scientists, and industry leaders to create ingenious products and companies that solve real-world challenges and elevate our future.

Vision

Transform Azerbaijan into a thriving innovation-driven economy by pioneering breakthrough R&D and launching ventures that ensure a sustainable future.

Our Story

eiGroup was founded to close the gap between academia and industry. We saw world-class research and engineering talent on one side, and urgent industry problems on the other—often without a clear bridge between them. Our answer is a venture studio that is built around R&D from day one.

We operate as an innovation engine:

Identify high-impact problems together with industry, investors, and government stakeholders.
Develop research and prototypes inside our R&D centers, validating the underlying science and technology.
Build and spin off ventures that turn these prototypes into products, platforms, and companies ready for real markets.

Our model

We are not a traditional incubator, accelerator, or coworking space. We enter every venture as a true co-founder—bringing scientific depth, engineering capabilities, and business guidance from the very beginning. Our model keeps continuity from lab to market so that ideas don’t get lost in handovers and every startup is backed by defensible IP and real technical expertise.

Integrated ecosystem

eiGroup is designed as an integrated ecosystem where research and ventures continuously feed each other.

R&D R&D Centers

Our internal units—such as eiLink and the Digital Research Lab—form the core of our innovation pipeline. They generate ideas, intellectual property, and prototypes in close collaboration with universities, laboratories, and industrial partners.

Venture Startups & Products

When a technology proves its potential, it becomes the foundation of a new venture. Spin-offs like Waverity, VoltaCH4, and ProDigiTrack are examples of how we commercialize solutions that began as research initiatives inside eiGroup.

Leadership & Team

Behind eiGroup is a multidisciplinary team that combines scientific excellence with entrepreneurial experience.
