Our project called "Bak-eDrive" aims at bringing ecologically sustainable transportation to Azerbaijan, an oil-rich non-sustainable country that has the capital, Baku, topping the list of the most polluted European cities. Our goal is to present this project and get the funding from the richest and very controversial company, SOCAR. This is the abbreviation of State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic. We hope to suggest them mutually beneficial business plan that will not only get them a lot of profit but also increase SOCAR's image as leader in sustainability in our region and will get them a lot of foreign contracts immediately.
