Belli was named the winner of the startup pitch at the Central Asia Air Cargo Summit, the region's principal air cargo gathering, which drew more than 350 airline, airport, forwarder, regulator and investor delegates to Tashkent across two days. Belli's Qiao Hui presented the company's cargo management platform to the judging panel and summit audience, covering how airlines replace spreadsheets and legacy systems with automated booking, capacity and load planning workflows. The win adds to earlier pitch results including the FutureTravel Summit 2024 competition in Barcelona and the Asia Pacific leg of the WiT and Phocuswright Global Startup Pitch 2024. Central Asia is one of the fastest growing air cargo corridors between Europe and Asia, with sustained double digit traffic growth and heavy investment in terminal infrastructure at Tashkent, Navoi, Almaty and Astana. The result strengthens Belli's visibility with carriers and airport operators in a market where fleet expansion and digitalisation are happening in parallel.
