Experts in Astana discuss measures to increase IT exports

Kazakhstan is set to increase IT product exports to $5 billion by 2030. In 2025, the figure had already surpassed $1 billion. In Astana, government officials, industry professionals, and experts discussed a strategy to boost digital exports. The discussions focused on training specialists, promoting AI-based products, and creating conditions for investment and new developments. To this end, a package of proposals has been prepared for the Government. The measures are designed to strengthen government-business cooperation, support the growth of the IT industry, and create conditions for domestic companies to enter international markets.

«The IT services market itself has grown by almost 1.7 times, and IT services exports have also increased. New technologies and artificial intelligence must now be integrated across all sectors of the economy. In fact, the IT sector has long ceased to be a separate industry. Today, it is integrated into every area. So, we have all the prerequisites, strong teams and the necessary expertise. We need to scale up,» noted Aziza Shuzheyeva, Chairperson of the Management Board of the Non-Profit Organization TechnoWomen.
