Mohirdev emerged victorious among ten finalists, showcasing their commitment to re-skilling and up-skilling migrants, facilitating their seamless integration into the workforce. This year's challenge placed a special emphasis on tech startups offering climate-related solutions across different sectors of the migration debate, with a focus on the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

Alisée de Tonnac, Co-CEO of Seedstars, expressed enthusiasm for Mohirdev's win, stating, "Mohirdev's innovative approach to bridging the education and employment gap for migrants in underserved regions exemplifies the impact technology can have on social issues. We are excited to support Mohirdev and all finalists through our mentorship program and look forward to their continued success."

The competition's panel of judges, featuring industry leaders from Oracle, Digital Switzerland, and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were impressed by the high-quality pitches, underlining the significance of public-private partnerships in addressing global challenges.

Mohirdev, along with first and second runners-up Inclusivity Solutions and Turing Space, will receive mentorship sessions from industry experts. All finalists will join the Migration Challenge Alumni Network, gaining access to valuable connections and development opportunities.

Seedstars extends its congratulations to all participants and reaffirms its commitment to fostering innovation that addresses global migration challenges through technology and entrepreneurship.
